The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: Concerning Hobbits
In the Mood for Love: Angkor Wat Theme III
The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is Peter Jackson's opening film of the trilogy of movies based on J.R.R. Tolkien's novel series. The movies are considered some of the last films to masterfully use practical effects and miniatures (some of which were referred to as "bigatures" because they were so large for miniatures), in combination with CGI and other modern VFX methods. Released in 2001, the movie was both the most recent movie added to the American Film Institute's 2007 list of the 100 Greatest American Films in History, and the only one added from the 21st century. The story follows the adventures of Frodo Baggins and his eponymous Fellowship of travelers, who seek to destroy the One Ring.
The score for the trilogy of films was composed by Howard Shore.
In The Mood for Love (original title: 花样年华, lit. Flower-Like Years) is a 2000 romantic drama film which was co-produced between studios in both Hong Kong and France. The story portrays the spouses of two coworkers who are found to be be having an extramarital affair. Though initially formally polite, in the process of investigating what is going on, as well as commiserating with one another, they fall in love.
The soundtrack was written by several composers; this track was written by Michael Galasso.

frodo baggins is a little shit
I love you frodo (he got it from bilbo)
Dartho guin perian. Rych le ad tolthathon. (Stay with the Hobbits. I will send horses back for you.) Hon mabathon. Rochon ellint im. (I'm the faster rider. I'll take him.) Andelu i ven. (The road is too dangerous.) Frodo fîr. Ae athradon i hir, tur gwaith nin beriatha hon. (Frodo's dying. If I can get across the river, the power of my people will protect him.)
To quote Old Gaffer from Fellowship of the Ring
"If that's being queer, we could do with a bit more queerness in these parts."
As a modern queer I do giggle every time queer, as in strange, is used. (And let me tell you, that's a lot of giggling. It's used so much.)
However...
It is all fun and games until they use another word that has had a similar shift in meaning to describe a bundle of sticks...
