Quite a lot from me, I fear.

FOTR: The Gil-Galad shot. The added Gladden Fields sequence. The Elves passing through the Shire added scene. The arrival of Boromir, Legolas and Gimli. The Fellowship setting out South. The dash across the Bridge after Gandalf's fall. The added Gift-giving scene. Boromir and Aragorn killing things.

TTT: The Three Hunters. (The moment in the films which best evoked my feelings in the Books-"Aragorn sped up the hill.") Eomer. All the stuff Lalaith mentioned. Especially Eowyn in front of the hall and the banner being blown away. Gimli's line about finding more cheer in a graveyard, for some reason. Grima's human creepiness. The "closing walls of your bower" scene. Theodred's funeral. The Hornburg (even sort of accepted the silly Elves). Eomer mark 2.

ROTK: Started so well. Minas Tirith. Inaccurate beacons. Faramir/Pippin scenes. "Oaths ye have taken", Ride of the Rohirrim, Eowyn killing Wiki (despite dumbed down line), Corsairs, Shelob's Lair, Sammath Naur, Faramir/Eowyn snippet.

Some important omissions there though. Paths of Dead trivialised. Pelennor by and large a disaster, and Black Gate little better. Frodo and Sam mucked quite a bit up pre-Shelob. Post Ring lots of awful feelgood. Grey Havens no good.
