Sorry, I was speaking of the Peter Jackson movies. Aragorn does not fight the Nazgul at Weathertop in the books (unless that part was written between the lines). In the movie, Frodo just gets off a whimper and not a stab.

Oh. Wait. You're being facetious. Never mind.
Nope. Not in the movies. Gandalf did use his holy flashlight to drive away the Winged Nazgul on the Pelennor Fields, but his batteries ran out when the Witch King later came a knocking.

If only he could learn that nifty fireball spell of Saruman's...
