As its been said many times before: I also like the lighting of the beacons for the same reasons.

As for scenes I like:
Part of me truly wants to like the little Houses of Healing scenes thrown into the EE of Return of the King. Really truly wants to because that chapter and 'The Steward and the King' are my favorite chapters in the books. But in the movie its just so short and kind of, well, yeah. I do like in the commentary when Karl Urban said he needed to be beside Eowyn in the scene where she is healed. At least I think he said it. I should rewatch them.

I do like the charging of Osgiliath though. I like the interplay of the song and how it sounds right and pretty much a lot of things about it. I thought it was well done and very well acted.

Not sure which other scenes I like. I do like the way Moria looks when they are trying to escape and I have a thing for the Rohirrim but not sure if I would call them favorite scenes.

I remember that the first time I saw that scene I thought, "Where's Merry!"

I also adore the Rohirrim charge scene. There's just something in Théoden's speech that makes you wanna get a horse and follow him to Death and Glory. All the Riders screaming "Death" in unison... Perfect scene.

Than there is one more scene I especially like. It's set in Lothlorien, when Boromir talks to Aragorn about the White City. This scene is absolutely fantastic and I think shows Boromir's true nature and value.

I assume you're thinking EE (Extended Edition).

Well,if I start counting my favourite scenes,I 'll stop typing tomorrow!So ,I say only two of them,just for sentimental reasons:
  • The stew scene in TTT(EE).Just watching the expressions of the always-too-serious-Aragorn makes me burst to laughter!(and it happens rarely with me)
  • The beacons of Amn-Din.Outstandig photography,epic music that brings me tears,Denethor's face(though they are too many,Gwathor,indeed.Anyway,they are made only of wood,so lets make some more,it makes impression)

#1 Frodo leaves for the Undying Lands ...no words to explain why. All the actors perform beautifully.
#2 Gandalf comes back! While watching the film, I jumped, saying, "He's back! Yay!!!"
#3 Pip's song.
#4 Sam carries Frodo!
The list is endless, so I'll stop now.

The whole Black Gate Opens scene was really well done, even though most of the dialog was invented for the movies, I've no difficulty with it and think it's at least true in spirit to Tolkien's intentions. So Aragorn's "A day may come" speech, Legolas and Gimli ("side by side with a friend") and the final "for Frodo..." are high up there in my own "moments of awesome" list.
