Having reviewed the guesses made, and your responses, I noticed that one
guess got a not exactly response, leading me to believe it was close to
the answer.  That guess was a sense of accomplishment, so here is one
final set of guesses before I give up:
A sense of wonder
No.

A sense of oneness with the world/nature
No.

A sense of belonging
No.

Though to me, these things do not seem to fit the conditions of the riddle,
I make these guesses based on how you have reacted to various guesses.
That's all I've got.

You know, I would probably do the same thing you're doing right about now. 
However this is a classic case of over-analysis. The answer (or perhaps more 
accurately my answer) isn't a sense of anything, nor is it an intangible, 
abstract concept of any type. Rather it is something quite concrete.

Final guess:
Half of a tree.  Once there he got half a tree, but couldn't get the other
half of the tree (possibly because he didn't have the means to move a whole
tree), so he left half of the tree there and brought half of the tree back

It was some totally non action flick, that was I think New Line, so that was 
why it was run, and run first. I cannot remember anything about it. Mainly 
because I too was wondering at the time why the Bilbo with a D was this preview 
being run. 

Maybe imdb can do a search by New Line and 2004

Last Full Measure? Could be. No matter how good the movie might be, the crowd 
wanted only action flick previews. No body booed Spiderman 2.
