Essex has just left Hobbiton.
one that springs to mind is the new scenes with Faramir and Denethor, where D calls F a 'wizard's pupil' which is a great line from the book. the reason I raise it here, is becuase I think I've seen some of the best acting in the movies in this scene from john noble, where he paraphrases the great line (to Gandalf in the book)

Nay, it should have been kept, hidden, hidden dark and deep. Not used, I say, unless at the uttermost end of need, but set beyond his grasp, save by a victory so final that what then befell would not trouble us, being dead.
the look on his face as he delivers these lines is priceless. you can see how he is already tempted by the Ring, and as Gandalf says, shows us what it would do to his mind, even though it would be locked away in the depths of the mountain.......

I believe, looking back on the 3 films, the acting from john noble in this scene is (perhaps) the Best of All.
