Dysfunctional uncles in cinema

"Lord of the Rings"

"Lord of the Rings" (2001-2003)

Uncle: Bilbo Baggins (Ian Holm)

'Uncle Fester' factor: Though heroic, Baggins is lured more and more by the power of the One Ring. Baggins can turn beastly when tempted.

Uncle duds: Traditional hobbit garb or short pants, shirt and suspenders, though occasionally wears an Elvish cloak or a chain-mail shirt made of Mithril.

Say uncle: "I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve. "
