Favourite Scene - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

From Fellowship, my favorite is probably "Concerning Hobbits". The Shire looks exactly the way I'd imagined it would, and that whole section perfectly captures the spirit of the Hobbits.

My favorite in TTT is from the extended edition, and a scene that I think really belonged in the theatrical release. I'm referring, of course, to the backstory bit with Faramir, Boromir, and Denethor. It explained Faramir's motivation to the audience, and made him much more sympathetic.

My ROTK favorites are tied.

I love the beacons. The pairing of the music with the images is just extraordinarily beautiful. I just can't think too hard about it, since around the 5th time I went to see the movie, I started wondering about how, exactly, all those people got up there in the first place. But seriously, it's a very moving sequence, and visually stunning.

My other favorite is Sam carrying Frodo up Mount Doom, and the scene leading up to that. Seriously, that music starts, and I start crying. Such a powerful sequence.
