But most of all, when the tear runs down his face when he's lying with Sam at the 'End of all Things', waiting to die.....
For me all the eye-rolling, knee-buckling and (in parts) weak performance of film Frodo was forgiven by Woods' performance from the "Wheel of Fire" speech through Sammath Naur to the End of all Things. I would say that, during this sequence, he was utterly superb and, for me, spot on. Here, more than at any other point during the film trilogy, book Frodo and film Frodo merged.
