Re:

There were some cut scenes that didn't even make the Extended Cut that I thought would have been nice, and some that while wouldn't fit, were cool.

The little video-clips of Legolas and Gimli in extravagantly nice clothes, post-crowning were cool.

It would have given a little idea of what happened to them afterward, with Legolas in blue (with a sweeeeet sword) wandering Fangorn, and Gimli, inspecting gemstones. Lots of gemstones.

I think it would have been a nice touch ... for when Frodo mentions that nobody is left unchanged after events like what happened, to show everybody doing their own thing ... Aragorn, Faramir, Eowyn, Eomer, and Imrahil, giving Theoden his funeral at Edoras, then a brief clip of Faramir and Eowyn marrying in Meduseld ... then showing Legolas, and Gimli ... I don't care how cheesy it would have been, it'd have been nice closure for all the characters. Not that the coronation wasn't nice closure, but a little more would have rocked, especially if they could fit it into a 2 minute time period, which they could have, easy.

Other than that ...

That brief, unfinished shot of Annatar, Lord of Gifts, appearing before Aragorn on the final battle, then hideously revealing his armor and monstrosity, Sauron style was really cool to see. A nice nod to the whole fact that he could trick the elves in the first place. I'm glad they cut Sauron in that battle ... but it was still cool to see.

And ...

The miniature work in this movie was sweet, especially when they used the Paths of the Dead big-ature and did the skull avalanche with a million little skulls.
