I think we should stay traditional and keep with the book ending. The way I'd like it is this. We see Frodo sailing away, he says goodbye and as he's looking forward into the mist whilst on the boat he's standing looking reflective and sad, we hear beautiful music, and then we have a Galadriel voiceover and she basically wraps things up, like Aragorn and Arwen, Faramir and Eowyn, Legolas and Gimli and so on. And after the flashbacks and flash-forwards we go to Sam and have a simple but effective ending, with him entering Bag End just like it was in the book, and his famous line, and then the music starts and the credits roll. I think that's the way I'd like it..
