I saw ROTK again, and I vote for Sam vs Shelob. I love this fight! And then I went to the book and read this scene again and realized it sticks almost exactly to the book description of it. What I find funny (and touching somehow) is that Sam manages to fight (and defeat!) that monster with all those packs and pans dangling on his back! He does not even think about laying them aside before tackling Shelob; maybe there was no time for him to do so, or maybe it didn't even occur to him to leave those precious things aside. Anywat it's amazing that he was able to be so agile with all that burden.
