I like the TT ee scene where Boromir and Faramir celebrate a victory in Osgiliath and they discuss going to Imladris. I know it isn't portraying the characters fairly, but there's something very sympathic in it...

I also love the scene with Frodo and the fellowship during their first night in Lothlorien. The music that goes with that scene, and the sights inside the forest, are just so cool. They really gave me a sense of something mysterious and rich in legend.

Believe it or not but I think my favorite scene, or at least my favorite view, was seeing the Argonath. That was just awesome.

I agree. Seeing the Argonath was an awesome view. It was very, whats the word, majestic. The scene in Moria when Gandalf says "i think we could risk a bit more light" and the halls of Moria come into view, I think that that is also a spectacular scene.

Fellowship: The fight in Moria. I am not sure why. Some times I'll sit down with the movie and just watch that part.

Two Towers: When the riders show up to save the day at helms deep, and they just come and ride down everyhing (even though not physically possible for all the horses to do without tripping, and then all of them rolling to the bottom) is extremely cool.

Return of the King EE: When Sam and Frodo are in the orc camp and the orc captain or sargent or whatever spots them and come after them. That part was really great.

1. When that laser thingummy comes shooting out of the top of Minas Morgul and the sound on the film goes out for a second. It makes me feel really scared!

2. The lighting of the beacons across the mountains, which is awesome in a David Attenborough nature programme kind of way.

3. The Ride of the Rohirrim from Theoden's stirring speech to the eventual clash, but not including anything where it looks like horses are being hurt.

4. When Gandalf rides into Hobbiton and lets off his fireworks and the curmudgeonly old Hobbit, possibly Odo Proudfoot (?), gives his little chuckle. I like that because he's a bit like my dad.

5. The dragon firework. Because Dragons are officially The Coolest Thing Ever.

Aragorn tackling the Nazgul at Weathertop - that was the point where the film really came alive. It remains the clearest single image I have.
