7- Lord of the Rings
Between "The Hobbit" prequel trilogy and "The Lord of the Rings," the order seems straightforward, but the titling and number of films can cause confusion. For epic continuity, start with "The Hobbit" series before moving on to "The Lord of the Rings," keeping in mind the vast scale and detail Tolkien's world offers across these films.
Watching order: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.
