The scenes that touched me the most would be

Weathertop - Frodo's Stand, yet weakness then being stabed
Ford of Brunien - "By Elbereth and Lùthien the Fair, ye shall have neither the Ring nor Me!"
Gandalf's fall
Galadriel's gift giving scene and Namrië
Boromir's Death

The Two Towers

Merry and Pipin with the Orcs and their escape
Gandalf's Return
Helm's Deep
Gimli's glitering Cave speech
Ents in Isenguard
Gandalf defeats Suarman
Pipin with the Palantir - "The burned hand teaches best"
Hobbits meeting with Faramir
Sam spilling about the Ring to Faramir and seeing Faramir's reaction.
The Journey to the Crossroads - esp the part where the sun is peaking through in the West, the the line - "They cannot conquer forever."
When Sam sees Gollum "pawing at Master" - yet it is really Smeagol wishing to repent.
Choices of Master Samwise - I cry every time I read this.

Return of the King

When Pippin pleadges fealty to Denethor
Merry pleadges himself to Theoden
Eowyn begs Aragorn to allow her to follow him to battle
Eowyn/Dernhelm takes Merry to battle
Eowyn and Merry slay the Witch-King
Houses of Healing - after Aragorn has come. Esp the scene with Eowyn and Eomer.
Gandalf and the Mouth of Sauron
Pippin in battle - thinks he's dead
Sam's song in the Tower
Sam rescuing Frodo
Aragorn crowned King/mercy toward Beregrond
Aragorn and Arwen's Marriage.
Frodo's pity for Wormtounge and Saurman (Sharkey).
Frodo and Biblo leaving the Grey Havens.
