The film never made me cry, but the second and third times I saw it, I did get misty eyed when: Gandalf falls, Boromir dies, Aragorn resists the the power of the Ring, when Gandalf advises Frodo in Moria about pity and what "one must do," when Galadriel waves farewell to the Fellowship, and when Frodo remmebers Gandalf's words before he sets off in the canoe at the end. <P>I laughed each time I saw the film, most at: Pippin's "What about second breakfast?" lines, the hobbit children when Bilbo tells them his adventure tales (that one little girl is so adorable), Pippin and Merry jumping on Boromir, and Gimli's "Not the beard!" line.
