Things that make you go "oooh!" - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

For me it's a strange one. It's that bit in the Two Towers when the Ents attack Isengard and one of them is set on fire (I can't remember by what). But the bit that makes me go 'ooh' is when said Ent then puts the fire out by ducking into the water as it must be such blessed relief! So maybe thats an 'aah' rather than an 'ooh' but either way!

I have two 'cringe' moments. The first is in FotR when Aragorn is fighting Lurtz. Aragorn stabs Lurtz through the leg with the knife and then Lurtz pulls it back out. And second, during RotK when Rohan is charging towards the Pelennor Fields and some of the horses are hit by the arrows and slam to the ground. Those both make cringe.

Oh yes. When the dying man has the spear shoved through his chest at Osgiliath. Can't forget that. That was the one that really made me cringe.
