What was the best extended scene in the three EE's?

[Essex]

one that springs to mind is the new scenes with Faramir and Denethor, where D calls F a 'wizard's pupil' which is a great line from the book. the reason I raise it here, is becuase I think I've seen some of the best acting in the movies in this scene from john noble, where he paraphrases the great line (to Gandalf in the book)

Nay, it should have been kept, hidden, hidden dark and deep. Not used, I say, unless at the uttermost end of need, but set beyond his grasp, save by a victory so final that what then befell would not trouble us, being dead.

the look on his face as he delivers these lines is priceless. you can see how he is already tempted by the Ring, and as Gandalf says, shows us what it would do to his mind, even though it would be locked away in the depths of the mountain.......

I believe, looking back on the 3 films, the acting from john noble in this scene is (perhaps) the Best of All.

[The Only Real Estel]

That is a great scene, Essex (and well acted). In my opinion, John Noble was one of the better actors in RotK, to bad his character was twisted to such a degree.

[Beanamir of Gondor]

Oh, absolutely one of the best (besides the numerous drinking songs) was Faramir talking to Pippin, when he gives him his childhood armor. Too bad they didn't tell you in the Rohan camp that Merry was wearing Theoden's childhood armor.
GASP maybe that's why they made it Faramir's armor... *hmm*


Engaging the Improbability Drive... now! {Hopefully the Phantom will pop up in my room...}

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

I know a lot of people don't like Eowyn's song at Theodred's funeral but I think this is the most haunting scene of the films. A definite thumbs-up for me.

Ah, very good catch, Eomer! Yes, that one rates quite high.

Also Eomer's grief over Eowyn at Pelennor.

Same here, definately a timeless moment that looked and sounded perfect. I also loved Aragorns coronation song, and the Elves singing and passing Westwards through the Shire in the Fellowship was beautifully melancholic and haunting.

I agree, a powerful and superbly captured scene.
