Happy Birthday Strider!

Option 1 is the way to go

That's my best guess for determining Aragorn's year of birth in the films, starting with the stated date for Bilbo's eleventy-first birthday (September 22, T.A. 3000):
- The War of the Ring: 3001-3002
- Aragorn's age during the march to Helm's Deep (March 3002): 87 years
- Aragorn's year of birth: 2915 (3002 - 87 = 2915).

Option #2 results in a birth-year 2514. Either year is consistent with the idea of an adult Strider at the time of the Battle of Five Armies.
