> So for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring either "Lord of the Rings" or "Fellowship of the Ring" would count as title drops (feel free to hover over the visualizations to explore the matches)!

An unacknowledged partial title drop for that movie is that "Lord of the Ring" (with no s at the end) is uttered.

That isn't the same thing. The Lord of the Rings is the One Ring. The Lord of the Ring is Sauron.

uh, no. I'm pretty sure Sauron is the Lord of the Rings including the one ring. Since he, you know, kind of made them all.

While you're right about Sauron being the Lord of the Rings, he didn't make all of them.

The three Elven rings were made in secret by Elves, and were untainted by Sauron. Disregard the TV show, which shows a version contradicting Tolkien.

This is the reason at the end of the Return of the King, with Sauron defeated, Gandalf, Galadriel and (Cirdan?) are able to openly wear the three again. Had they been tools of the Enemy, they would never have been worn again.
