OK, examples of magic in the films (i'll use rotk for now)

aragorn kneeling to the hobbits
the beacons lighting up
pippin lust for the palantir
faramir's 'charge of the light brigade' moment, including pippin's song
the painful, melancholy words Frodo narrates in Bag End when he returns home
the look on the hobbits' faces in the pub at the end of rotk
the moment when the eagles carefully pick up frodo and sam
frodo's tear at 'the end of all things'
the smeagol / deagol scene - wonderful!
the look of the Witch King
the Eagles are coming!
gandalf and pippin riding up the levels of minas tirith

there are countless more from all 3 films. the first view of the Shire. the first laugh between Frodo and Gandalf. Gandalf's Fall. Lothlorien. Frodo's smile at the end of each movie.

The music. The acting. The directing.

These movies were FULL of Magic for me.

I have read LOTR countless times since I was a kid and will never tire of it. I cry every time I read it. The same goes for the films. I will never tire of them. That is 'magic' to me.
