My fav scene was in Lorien, when Frodo and Haldir were looking out to the land of Lorien from Cerin AMroth. The scenery, as I imagined it, was so breathtaking and the colors so vivid, it almost made me think I was there.

Another favortie is at the feast in Rivendell when Tolkien was describing Elrond and Arwen. It portrayed to my mind the splendour of Elves.

Tolkien's writing style makes one imagine the scenes for themselves, making it almost impossible to put into film. There's a hill near my house with a very large tree on it, and that's how I imagine Cerin Amroth now. Jackson can never really trully achieve the beauty and masterpiece which Tolkien had put into words.
