Which live-action theatrical version of The Lord of the Rings would've been better?

And why?

And no, I didn't simply make up Option #2.

The Beatles all the way, baby! Jackson sure made some great movies, but really...its the Beatles!!!

Would they still have had their moptops, though?

I have a feeling that a Beatles version of LotR would end up a lot like Magical Mystery Tour -- I'd love to have the album, but you couldn't pay me to sit through the movie again...

So I'll stick with Jackson's version

I vote for Leonard Nimoy's musical version of the Hobbit ...

Wow. Okay maybe not in theaters...but stage play sure. Not to mention if they did a theater/movie version, I'd probably just by the DVD like I did with LotR by PJ. (Well okay honestly I DID see them all in the theater...but I'm 100% certain, the extended DVDs way better! )

It would change the whole storyline. Arwen and Eowyn would be among the screaming female characters chasing after the four "Hobbits."

They also wouldn't be smoking pipes but bongs.
