I loved loved the lighting of the beacons, knowing just how vital it was for them to burn. Seeing each burst into flame was like watching hope grow bigger and bigger as it traveled across Gondor and Rohan. What a lovely sequence, and I adore Howard Shore's soaring string music that accompanies the scene. Just magnificent.<P>"Don't let go, Mr. Frodo. Don't you dare let go!" was pretty darn good. Not in the book but pretty good.<P>"Go Home, Sam." Just tore my heart out. It still makes me tear up.
