In FotR, I thought the part where Gandalf was standing on the Bridge of Khazad-Dum was most suspenseful, but I watched the movie before I read the book. In TTT, it was when Gandalf (now the White) was in Fangorn Forest, this God-like figure <i>glowing</i> with power. Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas didn't know what hit them when the Mithrandir revealed himself, when they'd thought it was Saruman or something. I knew it was going to happen (I read the book prior to TTT this time), but for me it was just like this moment when you questioned whether Gandalf could be so strong as to survive the Balrog. Well, I guess that's the power of PJ <P>P.S. The scene of Helm's Deep was a close second.
