I did some work on the quotes for the fellowship film a couple of years ago but never 'published' it on the web. (and I wouldn't have a cluse how to!) I took every line from the film and pointed to where it was taken from in the books.
It's surprising where Jackson gets the lines from. most were from FOTR, but he also get a smattering from the other lotr books, and in one case the silmarillion.
e.g. Frodo's last line in FOTR "I'm glad you're with me, Sam" was taking from his words to Sam after the Ring was destroyed on Mount Doom.
"Let us hunt some orc" was loosely taken from "We are hunting orc" Aragorn says to eomer in TT
Aragorn's "Sauron the Deceiver" was taken from the Silmarillion.
Also, different lines were given to different characters. ie, "Smoke rises from Mordor" was spoken by Boromir in the CoE rather than Saruman.
And Sam uses the word "Longshanks" for Aragorn, where it is Bill Ferny who says this in the book.
