Movie Block
Not technically a "block" format, Movie Block refers to the Standard format as it existed immediately before the release of Shadows in November 2004. It allowed all sets 1-10 (all of the sets available at that time) and used the King Block site path. Ring-bearer skirmishes cannot be cancelled in Movie Block.
Movie Block remains one of the most popular formats in the game, as it is the largest format that does not allow the new site path or shadow cultures introduced with Shadows. Decklists can be found at subforum of the Last Homely House.
"Movie Block" was the name for the format on Decipher's Lord of the Ring Online platform[1], although they did not offer much support for it or any other legacy formats. The TLHH forums and GEMP carry on this somewhat confusing nomenclature. On mLOTRO, the format is called "King Standard". mLOTRO has its own separate "Movie" format, which includes sets 1-8 and set 10 but not set 9.
