Stellar performances, breathtaking scenery, and stunning visual effects made The Lord of the Rings one of the greatest cinematic franchises of all-time. But very few trilogies can claim to have an equally impressive beginning, middle, and end. And here's a look at the top ten reasons why AMC can't get enough of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers...

10. John Rhys-Davies on Double Duty
Three hours of bloodshed is exhausting, especially for Ryhs-Davis who comes to the rescue in two roles, not one. As Ent elder Treebeard, his gravitas makes for moments of peaceful reflection while his comical Dwarf King Gimli steals scenes... just don't tell the elf.

9. The Nazgûl a.k.a. The Dark Riders
