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.

As this will be my first post on this wonderful site my favourites would probably be seen as being a bit boring to some of the old pros on here, but here goes anyway.



The Mines Of Moria. Gandalf has just finished talking to Frodo about Gollum, pity and the fate of the Ring. Gandalf then leads the Party into the magnificent realm of the Dwarrowdelf, coupled with that really quite stirring & powerful score by Shore sent shivers down my spine.

I also loved the scene at the Council of Elrond in FOTR, where Legolas makes it known the true lineage of "Strider" as the "Heir of Gondor" and how Frodo is taken totally by surprised that this ranger of the North is the King of Condor in waiting!

Boromir, and his defence of Merry & Pippin at Amon Hen, and his death scene with Aragorn and the seminal "my brother, my captain my king!"

The lighting of the Beacons, of course.

The arrival of Gandalf "from the East on the 5th day at sunrise" at Helm's Deep and the subsequent charge down the hill of the Rohirrim

Gollum arguing with Smeagal

and after being crowned King of Condor Aragorn saying to the Hobbits, "you bow to no one!" (Slushy I know but perfect for me)

My favorite scene was Boromir's magnificent and selfless stand at Amon Hen. As the music rises and he tells the hobbits to "Run! Run!" it almost puts a lump in the throat.

Almost.

By far the charge of the Rohirrim in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields.

I get a chill every time I watch that scene.
