There is simply too much going on in The Silmarillion to cover it in a single movie or even a trilogy.

It always felt a lot epic than LOTR IMO, even it is a flawed piece.

    https://rutracker.org/ or https://mazepa.to/ if you're even more paranoid about getting caught using torrents.

    Both resources support English search, have well seeded netflix content and English audio tracks are always provided for English language content (just set your player to default to english). Rutracker especially has lots of niche/older content you simply won't find on streaming platforms. Mazepa has a lot less content (in context of niche/older productions), but its also less on the radar and netflix content is generally well covered.

    I don't know about North America, but in Europe you should be able to use both services via torrent streaming for most netflix content. Might even work in North America.

    You'll need to register on both, but it's not difficult with a webpage translator. There is a solid number of english language users on rutracker.

    Lot's of other options as well if you don't want to deal with foreign language; Usenet which requires a fee, private torrent sites (can be a pain to get into and maintain ratio though).

    Bomb track! Discovered this ~15 years ago when I started getting into Techno, Deep House and Progressive (I mostly listened to Psytrance, Drum & Bass and Trance before that when I was a teenager).

    I thought the Dredd remake was really good and I normally do not like American comic book movies. I would even argue the remake felt a bit more realistic than the original (which was decent, but not great).

    There was also a lot less on demand content / media / entertainment available back then. There were no social networks, no mass market smartphones, the internet itself was extremely primitive by modern standards, gaming was a lot more niche.

    I was never a huge Star Wars fan, but I of course saw the prequel trilogy in theatres because it was a big deal back then.

    I haven't seen any of the subsequent Star Wars movies except for Rogue One, which I enjoyed a lot. From what I've heard most of the new Star Wars fare is aimed at fans and doesn't really push beyond the barrier of the Star Wars concept.

    The Fox and the Hound, most of the movie is relatively typical Disney fare, but the ending had its "PG" moments.

    All Dogs go to Heaven, this production felt different compared to other animated movies when I watched it as a kid.

    I watched it a few years after release with zero expectations, just a general recommendation by a family member and I thought it was it was a great experience. Although I can sort of agree with the more style than substance arguement.
