The fact that you have not seen the Titanic (the only work of James Cameron that isn't worthy) almost makes up for the lose of not seeing LOTR.
Honestly, they're good....but not SUPER good. If you're not into it ordinarily, then you won't just LOVE these. They're just too long if you don't have an existing interest in it.
Well, I loved the books when I was younger...and I keep meaning to see LOTR, and it just hasn't happened.
With Titanic, I kept meaning to see it...and just never did. Then, I got so sick and tired of people telling me that I HAD to see it, I rebelled. For a long time I liked being the only person that I knew that hadn't seen it. :)
I used to do costuming for the theatre for a living, and so all of my friends in that group keep telling me that I need to see it Titanic because of that.
As for LOTR...I think we are going to do exactly what greybeta is doing...and have a bunch of people over for an extended viewing. I can't imagine that we will get through all of them in one sitting, though!!!
Just make sure that they know not to ruin any parts of the movie. There are a few parts that differ from the novels enough to be interesting, and they may as well come as a surprise to you the first time you see it.

Hope you have fun!!!

Enjoy them! (That goes to both of you.)
