24 years! Yes, next year will be the big one, but I felt like partying today with all you enthusiastic TORNfolk I've come to know.
Here are a couple of items to jog your memory, and please do add more of your own. The boards are moving great today!
A New Zealand perspective from today:

The whole journey must have been especially amazing for NZ LotR fans, as well as the country as a whole. It was amazing for book fans everywhere.
I remember. It was only in the weeks before the premiere of FotR that I started to let myself get excited about FotR. Until then I tried to keep my hopes in check by learning as little as possible about this adaptation of my most loved book by a little-known director in New Zealand. When the positive reviews and hype started, I was encouraged. Then, after seeing FotR and mostly loving it, I happily jumped on the train and have been riding it ever since.
One of the great benefits of that ride was the opportunity to learn about beautiful New Zealand and its people.

I still vividly remember the premiere of the first.
Took the bus just like 5 hours before the first screening, and was the first or at least among the first 5 queuers in the front of the little cinema in mid-southern Sweden ...
Then - the black screen and some simple logos and credits ... and then BAM Galadriel's words in the dark and those images.
Will forever treasure that memory ...

I had a moment of panic at that opening.

The black screen while Galadriel talks made me think something had gone wrong ... but then the title and music came up and all was right with the world again. 
Celebrimbor: "Pretty rings..."
Dwarves: "Pretty rings..."
Men: "Pretty rings..."
Sauron: "Mine's better."
"Ah, how ironic, the addictive qualities of Sauron’s master weapon led to its own destruction. Which just goes to show, kids - if you want two small and noble souls to succeed on a mission of dire importance... send an evil-minded beggar with them too." - Gandalf's Diaries, final par, by Ufthak.
