WarBringer has just left Hobbiton.
My favorite chapters are both from The Fellowship:

Strider- The meeting with Strider/Aragorn is by far my most memorable moment of the LOTR series. I remember thinking to myself-"This guy might be trouble", and I even worried that he would result in the death of one of the characters, or lead the hobbits astray and/or slaughter them. Tolkein's description is flawless, and few chapters have ever transported me to a place better than "Strider"

The Bridge of Khazad-Dum- Who among us can resist the allure of the herioc last stand against pure evil? The defeat of a host of goblins by a handful of brave warriors, The flight of the Fellowship, chased all the while by the goblins and one of the most evil beings of all time, and of course, Gandalf turning alone, leaning upon his staff in weariness, knowing that his doom (or his blessing?) is before him.

To me, these chapters are Tolkein's greatest achievment in the trilogy.
