I think PJ did pretty well too. I mean, the actors, the scenery (Ok - he had a bit of help there from NZ - best country in a supporting role ), the amount of detail that went into everything... Almost every little bit of the film could be made a still and turned into a painting. I don't think too many movies can boast they have achieved that.All the major great scenes were already mentioned, so I'll settle for sharing the little things that I loved: (in no particular order): - the flower of symbelmyne falling on Theodred's grave - Aragorn's fight with Lurz - the look on Legolas's face when he approaches the dying Boromir: that is so elvish, both remote and pitiful somehow - the pillars of Argonath - Sam wondering if ever they'd be put into stories, and Frodo's snort 'yeah, like that's ever gonna happen, Sam' - Theodred reciting part of "Where are the horse and the rider" and the images that accompany it - the arrival of ShadowfaxRight. I' think I'll stop now.
