I absolutely love it when Legolas slides down the stairs. The music gets this Back to the Future sound to it, and Legolas goes Skate Boarding.
I absolutely hate it when Haldir dies. I just watched TTT again the other night with my LoTR virgin friend Jen, and even she who has never read the books and still does not quite grasp the movies, cried at that moment.
My Husband gets really close to tears when everyone bows to the Hobbits in RotK. I ball, but that is not unusual...
My first impression of The Fellowship was "WOW, this is so much better than i ever immagined. |

I can not believe this hasn't been posted already.
The next to the last scene of TTT when Frodo turns to Sam and says "Frodo wouldn't have got far without Sam" I start crying like a baby.
Also the scene in ROTK where Sam says. " I may not can carry it for you, but I can carry you"
To me the whole story is about the strength of friendship. Sam, Frodo. Merry, Pippin Legolas, Gimli How all these different races are brought together to form a life bonding friendship. |

Hi, new to the board.
I've been looking to share this with people who might appreciate it since I got ROTK on DVD--
When Aragorn is fighting the cave troll, right after the scene where Gollum bites off Frodo's finger, Aragorn is about to go down, and we get two brief glimpses of Legolas as he tries to get to him.
I know some have accused poor Orlando of overacting, but that moment is truly a cinematic gem. I have never seen anything so beautiful. Sometimes I sit and watch in slow motion over and over...  |

I have to agree with you on that scene. It's one of my fave.
Also the look on Elronds face when Aragorn kiss Arwen at the end of the movie.
Let's not forget when Aragorn and Arwen walk up to the Hobbits at the end of the movie and they bow. Aragorn says my friends you bow to no one. *sob* |

I am going to have to get out the DVD's and do some slomo, cuz I don't think I have ever noticed that conciously before. Now just to defend my crush, Orlando has a difficult role, he does not say much, and has to emote alot, this is sooooo hard, I've done many theater parts where I have to do the same darn thing, and every one tells me that I am so good onstage and would really suck on screen, There are just some things that don't work in movies that are necessary to do in theater.
Ps. Welcome to osa |

This is silly I know ... but I love the 'I think I've broken something' line 
But there's lots of dialogues that give me the chills, plenty of them actually ... in FOTR it's 'All you have to decide....' and Sam's promise at the very ending and 'Even the smallest person can change the course of the future' ... and ... well ... lots of them!
And in TTT; I just cried when Theoden said 'No father should bury his child' ... and Merry & Pips convo 'There won't be a Shire' and ... of course Sam's speech.
I know. Basically I love ANYTHING about it *lol*

In Mora when they are attacked by the orcs the first time. Sam starts using his pots and pans to hit them. He says "I think I am getting the hang of this." I roll!! That is so funny! |

 yeah I love that bit, too!!!!!
Oh and HOW could I POSSIBLY forget this dialogue?
-You're taller.
-Who?
-You.
-Than what?
-Than ME !!!
I dunno but I love this one ... maybe cause it's one of the real light moments of TTT, far away from all the destruction and despair ...

The scene where Arwen sees the vision of Eldarion.
My best friend (The Pervy Elf Fancier) bawls like a baby every time.

ok, I'm going to add mine.
I agree with most people on their favs, so I won't go over everything everyone else has said, but I'm pretty sure nobody mentioned this from TTT:
When Aragorn kicks the helmet in his grief for Merry and Pip. I know Vig is in the process of breaking his toe, but I think it comes across perfectly in the movie. Personally, thats how I deal with grief a lot of the time too, I beat something, then collapse.  Thats what it looked to me like he was doing.
And HOW could nobody mention in ROTK, when Sam gets home? Even though it doesn't show him living at Bag End, as he should be, that scene, with him and his family, is perfect to me! It gives me the warm fuzzies all over!!!  |
