I'll take the scene where Beren is taken before Thingol. Amazing dialogue.

Then there's all the monologues of Fëanor.

But what I love most are the stories which are only hinted at. I especially like "the sons of Fëanor wandered as leaves before the wind" after the Nirnaeth. It's nebulous and very sad to see them like this after all the ambition and hope and valiantness they had put into that battle. And then nothing more is told about them for a long time, leaving a hoard of imaginations.
