What was the best new scene in the three EE's? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I liked the scene in FOTR where Gimli recollects receiving the gift of three tresses/locks/strands of hair (?) from Galadriel. For a moment Gimli the Clown wasn't present.

This again is a wonderful scene. The singing of the lament by Eowyn was incredible, as was the sight of the body being interred within an opened Barrow, which was exciting to me as an ancient history/archaeology enthusiast. This scene conjoured up images of an 'older' Britain, which was quite peculiar as it combined influences from periods of history millenia apart, with the Anglo Saxon sound of the lament, and the burial, influenced by something far more ancient.

Totally agree, that was possibly the best moment of grief in any of the films.

*nods* Yeah, that is grief without slipping into cheesy at all. Very difficult to achieve in movies these days. Another moment like this one is when Eomer finds Eowyn on the battlefield and when Faramir sees Boromir pass by in his boat on the Anduin.

These three moments are definitely among my very favourites. I'd also mention the Boromir - Faramir interaction in TTT (Gosh, Sean Bean reminds me so much of Sharpe in those scenes!), Aragorn taming Brego in TTT, and the wood elves passing through the forest in FOTR and Merry and Pippin in Fangorn.
The EEs have some of the best scenes ever! It's really difficult to choose one or two favourites!

Yes, I agree with Lalaith, it was a very great scene, and very emotional

I completely agree with those who listed Theodred's funeral. Something stirs in me that I can't name during that scene...

Also, the part where Faramir and Eowyn look out from the Houses of Healing. That was what I waited four years for!

My favorite scene would have to be in ROTK when Aragorn tells Legolas to shoot a warning shot past one of the Corsairs' ear and Gimili bumps the bow and Legolas kills him on accident. I also liked the drinking contest between Legolas and Gimli and the new Gimli scenes in the Paths of the Dead. The Paths scene with all the skulls was pretty cool too.
