Peter Jackson shot Tolkien's world on a scale nobody had attempted, grounding sweeping New Zealand vistas and armies of orcs in characters you come to love.

A few thoughts on The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
Howard Shore's music for the trilogy peaks on The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, the whole story's grandeur rendered in sound. For an epic world to wander at your own pace, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt both offer dragons, ruins, and moral weight. Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor drops you straight into Tolkien's world.
Sprawling fantasy worlds worth losing yourself in for hundreds of hours
Fellowship sends Frodo and eight companions across a continent thick with ruins, forests and old evil, and these games hand you that same scale to wander yourself. The Witcher 3 and Skyrim give you a whole world of ruins and folklore to explore, Dragon Age: Origins builds its own fellowship against a rising darkness, and Shadow of Mordor is set in Tolkien's own Middle-earth.
Fantasy quests where a ragtag group treks across a whole world
Fellowship of the Ring sends its heroes on foot across an entire world toward one fixed destination, and these films send their own mismatched groups on the same kind of trek. The Hobbit, Narnia and the first Harry Potter film all move a band of allies through hostile country, Honor Among Thieves does it with humor, and Willow follows its own reluctant hero and companions.
Doorstop fantasy novels for one more world-spanning quest
Frodo's errand to unmake the ring is the kind of doorstop quest these novels build entire trilogies around. Brisingr and Wizard and Glass send a young hero across a ruined landscape on a fixed mission, Oathbringer keeps stacking new peoples and old magic onto one long war, and Redwall gives its own small creatures a fellowship to defend their home.
Anime sagas about a small band standing against a growing darkness
Frodo's fellowship is a handful of very different companions united only by a shared quest against a growing darkness, and these anime sagas build the same core group. Fullmetal Alchemist and Rurouni Kenshin follow a small band through a ruined world's old wounds, Inuyasha binds its group by ongoing quest, and Saint Seiya has its own found family standing between the world and catastrophe.
