Well, after 3 screenings in just over 30 hours  , I can happily say that I cried every single time. I thought the second time I would get through it ok, but when Gandalf started talking to Pippin about the next step of the journey, I simply dissolved.
get choked up at the I can carry you! line, and remain choked up for the rest of the film, before the true howling begins at the Gray Havens and Sam's return home. Of course, sad tears give way to farewell tears at that point...
Didn't cry at Theoden's death, strangely. I enjoyed the scene, but I missed Eomer discovering them and going beserk......ah well, I wonder how long I can cry for when the EE comes out  |

I'm assuming that Gandalf was talking about Valinor at this point, in the middle of his speech my friend leaned over and whispered, "Then Gandalf will end it with 'Yup, it's a cool place - however you're not going there!'"
I wasn't sure why he was talking about Valinor (besides doing foreshadowing for "Into the West", which is a lovely song), because I'm pretty certain that Bilbo, Sam and Frodo are the only ones that go there. The Hobbits might pass through the Halls of Mandos, but they go elsewhere.
Okay, enough of my pedantic nitpicking, I did really enjoy the film, but there were plot holes that would make no sense to people who have not read the books.

I can honestly say I cried so hard that I haven't been able to cry since then. I loved the movie. Wonderful movie.
I cried during the whole movie but the tears didn't stop when Sam starts talking about Rosie.
"If I were to marry anyone, it would have been her". As soon as he said that I broke down. I couldn't stop crying.
I can't wait to see it again and I have no shame what so ever to cry that hard in front of everyone in the theater.
If you havnen't seen the movie, then go what are you waiting for. Go see it.

When Pippen left Merry for Minis Tirith I cried, and I think I had a napkin up against my eyes for the remainder of the movie. (I didn't even get a good look at Leggy in all his beauty because my eyes were all misty.) 
My hubby said he's never going to that movie with me again because I was embarrassing.

o man.
i cried so much in this movie. i have a headache now! i had to watch the stupid thing in german, as im living in germany. i totally missed out on what the hell was going on in at least three scenes (i hope i wasnt jsut making up weird dialogue in my head). i cried when frodo lost trust in sam, when merry and pip had to part, every battle, when pip sang his song. i cant believe i have to wait until next summer to see the thing in english. it was so wonderful. i saw it with my host family and couldnt stop crying. especially the last 2 battles. it made me realize that war is real. the whole movie my heart was in my throat or my stomach. if jackson is good at one thing, its mkaing u have this huge amnt of hope and then pulling the rug out from under u. i thin im gonna cry some more (i jsut got home from the theatre). i havent been to a LOTR site in 2 months (i will be strong--i wont give into tempation!) but after seeing this movie, i had to come back. how could i have strayed?

ahem.
Sorry, i just read over my post, and I realized it makes very little sense (if any at all) and looks like it was written by a child. Just wanted to give my excuse that I was still bawling when I typed it (Hey! you try reading Love Story and watching ROTK in one day!) and while my german does not improve daily, apparently my english skills can decrease, and are--rapidly. 
...So, yea. Excuse me. I'm going to go beat my head into a wall until the next time I can watch ROTK. 
...or, at least until I celebrate New Year's!
Very Apologetically,
cat 
PS: sighing over the lack of Legolas...while that didn't make me cry, I did get pretty d*mn near it!
