Favourite Scene - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Moria truly is an epic in itself. It's hard to pick just one favorite scene...there are so many...

Yes, it is difficult to pick since there are so many scenes that evoke so many different reactions. I try an think back to the first time that I saw each movie in the theatre, and I remember one instance where they showed the first scene of the Rivendell valley and I burst out "that's exactly how I imagined it in the books", so that is one of my favorite scenes for scenery (funny!).

The charge of the Rohirrim is definitely pretty good.

I also enjoyed the lighting of the beacons.

One scene that I don't think was previously mentioned was the attack of the Ents. I found it quite moving as Treebeard laments the fact that this would be the last battle of the Ents as they march to their doom.

I can't read that part of TTT without hearing Treebeard talking and the music in the backround for that scene...

I must admit that one of the scenes that stuck most in my mind was from TTT, when Gandalf and the Balrog are fighting and they both plummet into a huge cavern full of stalagmites (sp?) and the camera pulls back so that all you can see is the spiralling ball of smoke and flame of the Balrog, with the gleaming silver of Gandalf attatched, and their falling like a blazing star down into the deeps, illuminating the cavern as they fall and their reflection glimmering on the water below.

It's just such a wonderfully realised scene with some utterly fantastic CG effects.

Same can be said when Gandalf appears over the ridge near Helms Deep as the light of morning appears behind him. And then they all ride down into the black mass of Sarumans army and the dawn blazes behind them and Gandalf on Shadowfax dives into the sea of the enemy like a white spear.

I'm slightly surprised no-one has yet mentioned my favourite scene. That would be the Hobbits escaping the Black Riders in the Shire. When they escape and reach the barge, and look back at the Rider who was chasing them. Scariest moment, I reckon. At this stage it's not about some evil guy looking to do battle and conquer the world; it's simply mysterious terror.

I agree. I think that this scene really helped scare the viewers, and in a good way. It helped the Ring-wraiths seem so much more real and deadly, and when they reach the barge and look back I'm always just glad that the hobbits are safe... for a short while

An intense scene, one that helps bring what the hobbits were feeling then to the viewers, and does a good job of it.

there are many scenes i like in the Movies, Favorites are..

1: The dragon Firework!
2: When the ents attack Isengard, like treebeard said: A wizard should know better!
3: When the uruks blow up the wall of helms deep. Theoden spoke to soon "Is this all you can conjure Sauruman?"
4: Gothmog sidesteps that big rock.
5: Witch-kings makes his sword all fiery.

Overall, It's kinda hard to choose. Probably when Gothmog side-steps.
