Ahhh, you stole mine! That was absolutely my favorite scene in any of the films, since I'm a Gondor junkie. The irony! The passion! The Bor-Far love!
In with a close second is the scene where Denethor orders Faramir off to retake Osgiliath: "You wish now that our places had been exchanged. That I had died, and Boromir had lived." "Yes... yes, I do wish that." It's terribly, horribly skewed from the original scene in the book... but all the same I cried.
