LotR movies and books are great, even though the books can be a bit tiring.Kinda off-topic, but I consider myself "nerdy", and yet I've never read nor watched LotR... I did read Hobbit, but didn't like it, so I kinda didn't feel like reading more Tolkien.
Would highly recommend giving it a try, at least on the first LotR movie. Even if you don't enjoy the story, everything else is so well made that it's really a delight to watch.
