There are many visually stunning scenes in both films. The visualisation of ME and the camera work are two of the greatest acheivments of the films in my view. So I agree with most of the views expressed here.<P>But there is one scene that has not yet been mentioned and since it is, to my mind, the most spine-tingling of both films, I feel it does deserve mention here. It is when Gandalf is imprisoned on top of the Tower of Orthanc and the camera follows the moth to Gandalf and then careers over the side and plummets straight down the Tower directly into the caverns below it. When I saw that in the cinema, I was utterly amazed.
