Agreed, both are exceptionally better in print, though I posit that LoTR is more palatable to a wider audience in movie-form; the books read like an account of a history of a world (which, as we know, it definitely is and was intended to be a history and not a story) but the movie makes it easier to understand, strains out the songs or adds them in better ways than recounting them over pages and pages ahah
The Silmarillion should be many many films, one or multiple for each chapter. Just Luthien and Beren are a few films, and Turin Turumbar would be like watching a shakespeare tragedy lol!
