The bit I liked that was added by Peter Jackson, was Gandalf hitting Denethor over the head with his staff. In my opinion he had it coming and it was a very welcome addition. Although, if Gandalf hit him in order to stop him yelling at his troops to kill themselves, why didn't he do anythying to restrain him afterwards so that he could kill himself and Faramir. He could also have yelled at the Gondorian troops as he did before causing them to leave their posts.
