Favorite Scene From The Lotr Movies

[crjr9833]

What is your favorite scene from the LOTR movies?
Mine has got to be a draw between Shelobs Lair and the fight before Boromir dies.
~discuss~

[eeyorebrat]

I've always liked the scene on the bridge in the first one, and most of the scenes with Pippen and Merry in the second one, and I think I lked some of the battle scenes in the third one, though I did not like Shelobs Lair, I don't really like even normal sized spiders.

[Dead Rain]

i'm hear you! praze(note this spelling)! i hate all spiders. hate them hate them all!

but as for the topic Q:
i have no idea. all i know is that the scene with Legolas swinging from the Olifant was so lame. but i did like that battle in gereral. i really like it when Eomer threw the thing and killed them all..... and then..... yeah that's one of my fav. parts!

[jennyjenjen56]

While I have my favorite from each movie, My favorite for the trilogy is the scene on Mount Doom. "Do you remember the taste of strawberries Mr. Frodo." That scene, I bawl everytime!!!! It's amazing! :)
From FOTR: The scene where legolas kills an orc with an arrow thats in his hand, sticks the orc, pulls it out ,and shoots the one behind him. Its soooo funny!!!
FromTTT: The scene between frodo and Sam, the one where Sam talks about the people in the great stories. How they had the chance of turning back only they didn't. I love it!
From Rotk: My other fave, I am no man!!!!!!
I have lots of faves from the movies, so its hard to narrow it down, but those are at the top! :)

[QueenLucy]

;) ;) ;) ,Think,Think,Think,
I like just about any scene in the Shire and all the battle scenes are cool but I think I need to think about that a little more before I ever said for sure.

[Dead Rain]

ah, man. that last scene that jenny mentioned: i HATE it. it was so lame. true. but lame. i thought it was stupid just by myself. after the movie my bro and i were talking about it and he was just like "women's rights!" making fun of that scene. it was hilarious. but i mean no offence to anyone. at all what so ever. i just found that scene very boringand lame.

[jennyjenjen56]

I am in no way a feminist but I loved that scene! It just was cool!!!! :D

[Dead Rain]

if my dad wasn't with me i would have probably died laughing at that scene. but since he was with my, i kept my laughing to myself.

[LucyGoosey]

Mine is the battle of helms deep. i could watch that over and over....

so there are LOTR fans in here? anyone getting the Extended Edition next month?

[Dead Rain]

i loved that scene too! that battle was so cool. i could whatch it like that too.

of course there are LOTR fans here. i've gone NOW where where there have not been.
i won't be getting the ExEd but my bro probably will be. he takes al lthe good movies, darn it! wil lyou be getting the ExEd?

[jennyjenjen56]

I'm sure I'll be getting it for chistmas, since I asked for it and I got th e previous two EE's for christmas!! :D But I will be renting it on the 14, you don't expect me to wait till christmas do you? ;)

[Dead Rain]

not at all. "waiting can be good, but in this case it is bad."

[crjr9833]

Yes I'm definitely going to buy the SEE of The Return of the King, it sounds likes its going to be awesome! I saw a trailer of the extended scenes on lordoftherings.net, Saruman shoots a fireball down at Gandalf.......way cool. Can't wait for it to come out.




eeyorebrat,.....i liked Shelobs Lair because of the great special effects, that spider looked both frightening and realistic. And the fight between Sam and Shelob is great.

[Lunis]

It's impossible to choose a favorite, but right now that scene of everyone kneeling at the feet ot the hobbits is prominent in my mind. Also the scene at the Grey Havens....it's touching. ;) (ROTK was very emotional for me; I'm just a passionate LOTR-books/Tolkien fan tho, lol). Then ofcourse there are the scenes in all 3 of the movies that display wicked sword-play. Awesome! As a student of Martial Arts and weaponry, I just love watching others do those stunts efficiently, (even if they do use a little CG sometimes to help, haha). :D

(*Luni

[Dead Rain]

hahahahahahahaha. that's so funny. but yeah.

[rosymole]

It won't do just to say 'all of it'will it? Didn't think so. In that case- the abttle scenes are incredible, especially Helms Deep,I was excited for months and months before TTT came out just because of that one bit!
In RotK the beacons being lit is pretty cool- it gives the sense of the old classic epics and i really like that. Also, not the most cheery of the lot, but where Denethor sends Faramir out to his supposed death and just sits there stuffing his face while Pippin sings his little heart out - it just captures the hopelessness and blind struggle that would've surrounded the people involved in what at the time seemed like a hopeless war, and I for one find it rather moving!

[Dead Rain]

if i wasn't so happy, rosy, i'd be very moved.

[rosymole]

I'm glad your happy DR, it's good to be happy- well done you! There are also scenes that make me feel happy too, i get very exited at the battle scenes, and when Gandalf does his stuff. I did once dress up as Gandalf the white , complete with sword and staff and ran about shouting "You shall not pass". I feel it improved me as a person!

[Aslan223]

Like with characters it is so hard to pick a favorite scene. I think the first one that comes to mind for me is when Merry and Pippin and Treebeard and the others all attacked Eisengard at the end of the second movie. Especially if you watch the ext. version where M & P find Sauramon's secret stash and celebrate at the end

[legolas]

Well I hated the spider scene! I think my favorite would be when Gandolf showed up in the woods to Legolas, Gimili and Aragorn.

[Thanatos]

Oh that secert stash scene, that is a great one!! So funny! The part when Saurman falls off the tower, and lands on the spike, owwwwww. That part was, unexpected.

[holyboy]

fav scene is when Aragorn is talking to the dead spirits in the third movie. great peice of animation! i especially liked the tone of green the directer decided on. perfect for their roles

[Herbal Remedy]

If I have ONE favourite scene, I think it would be the charge of the Rohirrim in ROTK, including Theoden's speech. Most of these epic movies involve some sort of cheesey "motivational" ditrade, but I actually found Theoden's to be moving. Also, "DEATH!!!!!" is just a cool pre-charge yell. It could either mean death to your enemies, or a defiant, sucicidal call showing how the army is willing to fight to the bitter end without fear.

I loved the "I am no man" line! It was wicked awesome. :D Though, I would have preferred if they used the book's wording "No living man am I". It probably would have sounded corny in the movie, but I just like the cadence better.

[Aslan the Wise one]

well i'm also a huge fan of tolkien too, i have many FAV.scenes but if i was to only pick one it would have to be when gandalf comes back becouse i i'm a had core gandalf fan.................

[Evelien]

well i'm also a huge fan of tolkien too, i have many FAV.scenes but if i was to only pick one it would have to be when gandalf comes back becouse i i'm a had core gandalf fan.................

Sweet! Gandalf rocks my socks too! My favorite scene is at the end of the TT when the Rohirrim charge into the orcs. Mostly because I am in love with the music in that scene... I'm a huge film music junkie...

I also love the very last scene of RotK when Frodo leaves for the Grey Havens. I always feel like crying when I watch that part. Very well done stuff!

[inkspot]

Welcome, Evelien, I don't think I have seen you post before.

There are too many wonderful scenes in all the LOTR movies to pick a favorite, but one that is very cool to me:

When the black ships arrive and the orcs are expecting their evil reinforcements to help them win the battle for Gondor, but instead Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas leap over the side of the boat and advance (in slo-mo) on the orcs on the dock ...

That is just so unexpected (for the Orcs) and so superb visually. Love it!!!

[rosymole]

I agree on that one INkspot- it's real 'yeah- go get 'em boys' moment!

[waterhogboy]

My fave scene is the one with all the armies of the dead killing the armies of Mordor. That kicks ass.

The most disgusting scene is when Frodos in the bed and everyone comes in laffing even though theres no joke to laugh at. Are they all crazy? I cringed so much in the cinema watching that I had to hide under my seat!!!

[holyboy]

the worst part of the movie was the 4 times the movie looked like it was going to end, but it just cut 2 another scene. wat makes it worse is when ur in a movie theatre and u have to go 2 the bathroom, but u don't want 2 miss anything. not a fun experience :eek:

[Ithilien]

(yay! a fellow Canadian) I remember a spot like that! It was when the eagles were rescuing the two hobbits on Mount Doom. The pause was a little too long and I feared the movie was about to end! Anyways, my favourite seen has to be the moment when Gandalf rode out of the White City to help Faramir from the Nazgul. The scene was so beautiful I nearly cried!

[holyboy]

(yay! a fellow Canadian)

i should hope im a fellow canadian. ur the 1 who got me hooked on this site!!!! :D

[waterhogboy]

Man - that is so true!!!!! I think I counted 7 possible ending points before it actually did finish!!!!!!!!

[Herbal Remedy]

i should hope im a fellow canadian. ur the 1 who got me hooked on this site!!!! :D

Hey, I'm Canadian too! And I can see Toronto across the lake from my home. ;)

Yeah, I'm not too fond of the multiple endings of ROTK, but I would have been mad if they had cut out the Grey Havens or Aragorn's coronation. I just wish the editing would have been better so these scenes wouldn't have all FELT like endings. We should have been able to feel like we knew more scenes were coming.

[inkspot]

Man - that is so true!!!!! I think I counted 7 possible ending points before it actually did finish!!!!!!!!

The first time I saw it, as we were leaving the cinema, one of the college boys ahead of me said, "That ending went on way too long ... Someone should have gotten in another fight!"

Too true!

[holyboy]

Hey, I'm Canadian too! And I can see Toronto across the lake from my home. ;)



do ya live in St Catherines?? half my family (all 300 of them) live in St Catherines. the rest live in Sask. having cow-tipping contests...and yes, a cuz from sask says thats all she does :D

The first time I saw it, as we were leaving the cinema, one of the college boys ahead of me said, "That ending went on way too long ... Someone should have gotten in another fight!"



id want to c the hobbits fight with eachother, just to c who'd win!!! :D

[inkspot]

LOL, Holyboy!

A big fight there on the docks at the Grey Havens would have been a blast!

[holyboy]

A big fight there on the docks at the Grey Havens would have been a blast!

*smiles* yay!!! now the elves and gandalf can join in on the action, 2!!! :D

[rosymole]

Yeah! And someone could push Frodo off the pier! (sorry- calm the rage Rosy!)

[holyboy]

and Bilbo can be yelling "All these yungions. all they do is try 2 kill eachother. ive had it" and he could beat evryone with his cane :D

we're having WAY 2 much fun with this, but THATS OK!!!!!!!!!!!:D

[waterhogboy]

and then a big flaming eye could roll on and say 'Ha! I'm not dead' :D ......................... :( Or maybe not *shuffles back into the shadows*

[inkspot]

and then a big flaming eye could roll on and say 'Ha! I'm not dead'

Oooh, I like this! Then Merry and Pippin can take it on, because they are obviously the real warriors (in the book they became the big heroes in the scourging of the shire) and probably Sam would rescue that fey Frodo from drowning before he joined in the fight, too.

[Ithilien]

I take it this is not a favourite scene from the LOTR....

[inkspot]

It's not bad, we were just saying it seemed like there were a lot of "endings" to the movie, and by the time you got to the ships, you were kind of ready for some more action.

[GrayCloak]

I was just wondering at the end where poor Radagast and Glorfindel were if this was the 'last ship into the west'. Did someone forget to leave a memo, or something?

[Thanatos]

I like the very very ending of ROTK, but then again i dont. Everytime i still watch it, i ball my eyes out. It is soooooo sad, it just makes me cry and cry. I go on crying almost 5 mins after the movie is over sometimes. I heard that they had to do that scene bout 4 times, and each time they hated it. Well first of course to film it, then 2nd b/c Sean Astin wasnt wearing the right vest, 3rd b/c the lens was blurry, and there was another (i think) but i cant remember what it was. I felt so sorry for them when i found out bout that, they said they just had to spend the whole day crying and thinking of sad things and was just a downer day. Poor fellas.

[inkspot]

Ha, I find that funny. Imagine taping that mess day after day ... it would be awful. I don't know why it made me laugh to think about it ...

[Herbal Remedy]

Yep. I'm a St.Catharines girl! Not sure what to call myself...we had a contest to see what term should be used to describe a St. Catharines resident but they all sucked. St. Kitster or St. Catharonian or something dumb like that. :o

Maybe in the Houses of Healing, instead of being all gummy and mushy, maybe it could have been a bit sadder or have Frodo tell Sam he just wants to go home. Then the return to the Shire wouldn't have felt so superfluous.

[inkspot]

I liked that bit where Frodo awakened and every one came into his room and they were all laughing and romping on the bed. What I would have liked at the end was a little goodbye to Legolas and Gimli.

And another fight.

[Evelien]

What I would have liked at the end was a little goodbye to Legolas and Gimli.

Yes, I was dissapointed by that too! It was like they kinda just disappeared or something... A proper farewell was definetely needed. I also wish that they would explain the little love story between Faramir and Eowyn, but I guess the movie was getting long enough as it was!

[Thanatos]

Yes, I was dissapointed by that too! It was like they kinda just disappeared or something... A proper farewell was definetely needed. I also wish that they would explain the little love story between Faramir and Eowyn, but I guess the movie was getting long enough as it was!Yea i know, same here. I was really dissapointed with the houses of healing scene. It was what, not even 5 mins long. For goodness sake, they get married, and that part is actually in the book. Unlike the love story bout Aragorn and Arwen. They have a whole chaper with Faramir and Eowyn, they deserve more than 5 mins.

[Evelien]

I also couldn't beleive that they made a totally different ending---

Movie version: Aragorn becomes king (yay), no goodbyes to the rest of the fellowship, hobbits go home, Frodo goes sailing away, the end.

Real book version: Aragorn becomes king (yay), goodbyes ACTUALLY HAPPEN, hobbits go home, Saruman and his orcs have taken over the shire, there is a battle, THEN Frodo goes sailing away, THEN the end.

I guess if they actually put in the real ending the movie would be four hours long or something ridiculous like that... but hey who cares?!? I wouldn't complain. But I love the movies, even if they did leave out some *cough* *cough* important stuff...

[Thanatos]

Yea i know same here. PJ didnt even think bout making the Shire scene, just b/c he never liked that scene. Well let me tell you, that was probably one of my favorite chapters in ROTK. And who cares if it would have been longer, no LOTR fan would complain. And the people who do, well who cares, they arent true LOTR fans then. But overall the movies were very good. (more like awesome!!)

[Evelien]

Very true... true LOTR fans don't complain about 4 hours of lengthy tales about Middle Earth... they cheer!

PJ also cut out Tom Bombadil. He wasn't really an integral part of the plot, but still, the whole issue in the barrow-downs and stuff concerning Tom took up about 3 or 4 chapters. What's up with that?

[inkspot]

It was too much to get all in, even with three movies! But I think PJ's interpretation was as good as could be without being 16 hours ...

[Ithilien]

I don't think anyone would really mind if it was long, as long as everything was included. I was really indignant when they cut the scouring of the shire chapter - it was important in showing even the happy, secure place of Hobbiton could be affected by evil. The worst was when they cut the Faramir/Eowyn love story. It is one of my favourite (hence my name) ands deserves more attention! Humph!

[Thanatos]

I agree, completely agree.

(remance--when i went to see ROTK opening day we [my group of 3 other friends] were the first ones in the Theatre. Then when the time was 3pm, the Theatre was full, and the show began. The people were cheer and clapping. Wow it was a great day in history, when LOTR lovers all come together.)

[Evelien]

Sadly, I did not get to see ROTK until a few days after it came out because I was studying for some very important final exams. HOwever, even though it had been out a few days, the theatre was still packed and there was a line to get in. I did, however, go to the midnight premeir of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Wish I could have done that for the LOTR movies as well.

[sevgi]

I liked the begining when there was no fighting and at the end when Gandalf crowns Aragorn king I cried when Frodo left Middle Earth

[sevgi]

I also thought that it was awful that the ending was so different I thought that they should of stuck to the book

[legolas]

Have any of you seen the extened LOTR version??

[inkspot]

Yes, with the extended versions, it's fun to watch and pick out the scenes which weren't in the cinema versions-- they're very good!

[she-elfwarrior19]

I liked the battle at pelennor, i love all the battles. In the first one it was clos to tears when boromir died. I forget where they go when they leave middle earth can soemone answer my question? lol

[Fool of a Took]

"For Frodo."

[Narnian Jedi]

My favorite scenes are...
1. TT: Helm's deep when Gandolf arrived with Eomer's crew
2. ROTK: When Theoden's army came to aid Gondor
3. ROTK: Aragorn sailed in with the army of the dead

Just thinking about it all gives me chills...great movies!

[waterhogboy]

Oh yeh!!!!!! I just remembered my favourite scene!!!! But I cant remember if I already posted it........

Its the bit where the trees all go and attack Saramans tower!!! Thats well good!!!! GO TREES!!!!

[Dernhelm]

Ents.






lol :D

[inkspot]

I forget where they go when they leave middle earth can soemone answer my question? lol
Where who goes -- Frodo, Bilbo and the elves?
Where are they going? Are they going to the Grey Havens, or are the Grey Havens that port where they are sailing from? They're going back wherever the original Eldar (elves) came from, it's in that dreadful Simarillion book...

[inkspot]

Ents. lol :D
Ents, trees, same thing ... Tee-hee.
I like the Ents, but they make my husband mad! Whenever we are watching the DVD and they come on, he storms off mumbling, "Not those *$@!&% trees again!" He thinks they look fake or cartoony. Shows what he knows! :p

[Galadriel]

Mine is in the extended ROTK. Liv Tyler sings. Eowyn commands each story arc, from Eomer the King of Rohan crying over her body, to Aragorn the New King come again, working to save and heal her, to faramir, part of the future of Men agreeing to blend his Numenorean blood with hers.

I am editing the video to make the Eowyn movie.

The Grey Havens is the port from which they set sail - Bilbo and Frodo are destined for Valinor - the undying lands. Where the Valar have ruled since before the coming of the elves.

The elves lived in Valinor for a while, (they were brought there from Middle Earth by one of the Valar - all except the Silvan) but the Nolder (Galadriel's race) were banished after the ordeal with the Simarils. Very complicated stuff - I've just grossly oversimplified it; no other Ringers whack my head of please! ;)

[inkspot]

Sweet!
I've just grossly oversimplified it; no other Ringers whack my head of please!
You did great! I couldn't think of it, Valar.

[waterhogboy]

My my. Lovers of LotR really are a different race of people all together arent you!

I had no idea what you just said - its like your speaking another language. Im used to it tho - Ive got a friend whos always trying to explain the history and stuff in the books. I just glaze over and think about bunnies!

Ive got a question. Do you know where Tolkein got his idea for 'Middle Earth' from?? (i mean the name, not the stories!)

[GrayCloak]

My my. Lovers of LotR really are a different race of people all together arent you! I had no idea what you just said - its like your speaking another language.

Huh, that exactly what all my friends say to me - and those that do understand what I'm talking about end each sentance with 'Liz we are such geeks..' :D

Ive got a question. Do you know where Tolkein got his idea for 'Middle Earth' from?? (i mean the name, not the stories!)

The term 'Middle Earth' is one used in both Celtic and Norse mythology I believe. Refering to the lands between the heavens and the otherworldly realms. I always wondering if that's where Tolkien got it. Uh..I think...help anyone?

[waterhogboy]

Awww poo - you got it straight away....

Its from the Viking term Midgard (or Middengard) - the name the Vikings gave to the owrld in which they lived. Translated Middengard is Middle Earth.

[GrayCloak]

Awww poo - you got it straight away....

Oh boy, I'm a jenious! ;) :D :D

[Jene Sai]

I don't doubt Tolkien drew from Norse mythology...
...The other day I picked up a book at an antique sale called "West of the Moon and East of the Sun" (a phrase Tolkien used in one of his poems) it is a children's book from the '50s full of Norse fairy tales. I haven't even bothered to give it to my little sister yet..I want to read it.

I just started reading LOTR for the 4th time...It is so nice to get back into that world again..
..Any info on whether the Hobbit is going to be made into a movie?

-JS

[she-elfwarrior19]

Ya i forgot about that, rats......... well i hope they are that was my first tolkien book i had ever read like in grade 6. And it is such a lovely story. I was all excited about the hobbit movie being made but after a while the excitement died out cuz i hadnt heard anything else if they actually were. I sure hope they do./

[GrayCloak]

I think right now the Hobbit's all tied up in legal issues - I heard a while back there was a dispute over who owned the rights to it - and how much it would cost for New Line to buy them. I hope it's done soon, however, because Sir Ian Mckellen HAS to play Gandalf, and Ian Holms is the perfect Bilbo.

It would look kinda strange if Bilbo and Gandalf were significantly older in the prequil to LOTR...

[Jene Sai]

I recently saw Ian Holms in "Aviator"...a movie I wouldn't recomend to anybody...but he did look remarkably well preserved.

I never did see what girls saw in Leonardo DiCaprio (or DiCraprio as my sister says)...the only good thing about him is his name.

well its also possible that tolkein is saying the land between heaven and hell :D

[GrayCloak]

well its also possible that tolkein is saying the land between heaven and hell :D

Yes, very true! Or maybe the land in-between Valinor to the West and the far off east.:D

[waterhogboy]

Yes, very true! Or maybe the land in-between Valinor to the West and the far off east.:D

Maybe thats the same as being between heaven and heel - what do you think???

[tgraveline]

hmm, anything with pippin doing his jig or him in the shire and whatnot. Seriously, i just loved pippin. Though some of those fight scenes were just coolness.

tg

[sevgi]

Actually trees and ents are not the same things. Ents are created by one of the Valar who feels sorry that the trees have no way to defend themselves so actually they are two different things because Ents are the shephards of the trees I mean Treebeard said himself he was not a tree.

[Jene Sai]

The question remains...
...Do ents always remain ents? Treebeard remarks that ents can get "treeish" and go to sleep. It seems to be almost a parallel to humans who lose their humanity (stritly voluntarilly of course, I am not refering to those with brain injuries or retardation) and become akin to the beasts we are supposed to have dominion over...
...Confusing, but interesting...

[Iron Morgoth]

It's really hard to choose just one favorite scene, cause I love a lot of them.
But if I have to name one is when Frodo arrives to Rivendell, and the whole fantastic valley that appears on the screen. Rivendell is my favorite Middle Earth place.

[GrayCloak]

But if I have to name one is when Frodo arrives to Rivendell, and the whole fantastic valley that appears on the screen. Rivendell is my favorite Middle Earth place.

That scene was wonderful - Rivendell was breath-taking; it looked exactly as a pictured it in the book.

Rivendell is my favorite place as well Morgoth, so I was really glad to see it done so well in the movie. :)

[Jene Sai]

My only problem with Rivendell is that there are no handrails on those narrow footpaths and bridges...LOL come on, tell me you didn't worry about Pippin falling off:)

-JS

[legolas]

Isn't Rivendell the home of the elves?? (were arwen lives) or am I just totally going crazy thinking like that??

[borntofly]

Isn't Rivendell the home of the elves?? (were arwen lives) or am I just totally going crazy thinking like that??
Elves live there and Arwen does also

[GrayCloak]

-JS

Lol, well JS you know I was worried, but that's not suprising - what's interesting to me is that you were worried...I guess I must be having a negative influence on you or something...hehehehe.

-And you're right Legolas, Rivendell is where some of the elves lived. It's Elrond's home as well, as well as Bilbo's. :)

[inkspot]

Elves live there and Arwen does also
Arwen is an elf!

[borntofly]

Arwen is an elf!
I know that, Legolas's question was
Isn't Rivendell the home of the elves?? (were arwen lives) or am I just totally going crazy thinking like that??
so I included Arwen in my answer, but it sounded different in my brain :)

[Johan 72109]

Hmmm... Favourite scene... Definately Faramir's charge where the knights get massacred... so many ideas displayed there... Arrogance, honour, sadness, futility, courage, love, selfishness... the list goes on. It was just so well done, and so sad... perfect.

And yeah, they should have put in the Scouring of the Shire. The entire point of the chapter in the book was to show the way the hobbits have grown and changed. At the beginning they're wide-eyed villagers, without a hope in the world of fighting evil on their own, but in that chapter we see them as they've become, without them being in the shadow of greater warriors like Aragorn and Gandalf. Even though it's just a skirmish in comparison to the war that's just finished, it proves them the heroes we know they are. It's the end to their character arcs (well, except for Frodo's... he's got a bit further to develop in the book before the end.)

I swear I'm the only person in the world who doesn't think of the many emotions that are incorporated in various scenes. I feel this is one of my greatest flaws...

Another scene I liked was when Pippin was singing, while the battle was going on in the third book. I thought that was very well done, and he has a very good singing voice (if that is him singing) I felt sad (yes! an emotion!) because the king didn't care what was going on.

(My knowledge of LOTR is the movies, and I can't remember every character's name. Sorry :o )

Yes, it was! Isn't that amazing? You are right, that was a very dramatic scene.

[i_am_puddleglum]

It's three of them, but both are sad, at least to me.....TWO ARE IN RETURN OF THE KING, THE OTHER IN THE TWO TOWERS:

ONE: When the hobbits begin to bow down and Aragorn tells them not to and everyone else does. (RotK)

TWO: When Sam talks how they're going to be famous---he imitates the people wanting to hear about Frodo, but then Frodo imitates the people wanting to hear more about Sam. ((SAM'S DEVOTION IS THE PUREST (TTT))


THREE: At the end of RotK, it is when Frodo leaves, but gives a letter and the book to Sam. The voice over of Frodo talking to Sam made me cry, esp. when "And Back Again" plays. It is the end of the series, but the most endearing part of all three for me ((THIS IS MY ABSOLUTELY FAVORITE))

[Jene Sai]

Welcome to NarniaFans I_am_puddleglum..
..this was one of the first forums I visited also..

Some of my favorite scenes..
TT...The scene at Helm's Deep about Gimli needing a box to stand on..and about "tossing a dwarf".

ROTK...When Arwen has the vision of her son while on her way to the grey havens (okay..I know it is corny and not in the book, but I can't help liking it anyway)

FOTR...When Pippin trys to get Aragorn to stop for "second breakfast" (Billy Boyd was perfectly cast!)

-JS

[i_am_puddleglum]

YES! SECOND BREAKFAST SCENE!!! I had forgotten how GRAND that scene was! I LOVED IT AS WELL

[unleavened]

TWO: When Sam talks how they're going to be famous---he imitates the people wanting to hear about Frodo, but then Frodo imitates the people wanting to hear more about Sam. ((SAM'S DEVOTION IS THE PUREST (TTT)

I LOVE that part. Sam is the best!

The second breakfast scene is hilarious, as is the dwarf tossing/dwarf-on-a-box scene.

I love when Eowyn says "I am no man!" and finally stabs the nasty tall dark *gggrrr* (passionate dislike for witch king)

OOO! When Sam fights shelob!

Ok, I better quit.

[Iron Morgoth]

The last battle of ARAGORN, LEGOLAS, GANDALF and their army at the black gate of Mordor!!

[GeneralNH]

My Favourite Scene would have to be when (In the Extended Version of TRORK) the ships start streeming past in that valley and Aragons all like: "You Shall Not Pass" and then they laugh and the army of the dead come and then the pirates faces.... ohhh its an awsome scene. Plus Peter Jackson gets shot with an Arrow! Brilliant!

[waterhogboy]

I watched the first half of fellowship of the ring this arvo - and I found a really funny bit - but i guess no-one except me with my random sense of humour will find it amusing. Well Johan might!!!

OK. Its when Arwen's dad (I cant remember his name) is about to talk about what happened with Isildur. And he says:

'I was there 3,000 years ago'

It just sounds so silly and I started laffing!!!

[rosymole]

*crazy northern monkey*
I may have to watch the 'trilogy' tomorrow, I've got no internet then and a day off, so it'll be me, big bowl of popcorn and some telly, super!

[borntofly]

One of my favorite parts is in the Return of the King where Legolas kills the oliphuant and Gimli says,"That still only counts as one!" Hahahahahaha!!!!!High-lari-ous!!

[Iron Morgoth]

One of my favorite parts is in the Return of the King where Legolas kills the oliphuant and Gimli says,"That still only counts as one!" Hahahahahaha!!!!!High-lari-ous!!
That's great!!! :D

[unleavened]

Haha! I love that part too.

Then there's the "I'm glad to be with you, Samwise Gamgee, Here at the end of all things." *tears up* It's all so magical! *sob*

[Warrior-Poet51088]

And yeah, they should have put in the Scouring of the Shire. The entire point of the chapter in the book was to show the way the hobbits have grown and changed. At the beginning they're wide-eyed villagers, without a hope in the world of fighting evil on their own, but in that chapter we see them as they've become, without them being in the shadow of greater warriors like Aragorn and Gandalf. Even though it's just a skirmish in comparison to the war that's just finished, it proves them the heroes we know they are. It's the end to their character arcs (well, except for Frodo's... he's got a bit further to develop in the book before the end.)

Aye, that would have been good, cuz it's one of the background themes in Tolkien--you leave your home, and when you come back to it, nothing's the same as it was when you left(think Bilbo in the Hobbit).


WHB, I'm gonna go with Rosy and assume your deranged laughter is due to your geogrpahical locale. By the way, Arwen's dad is Elrond... :p

[waterhogboy]

Elrond - thats the chap!!! Big forehead and long hair!

Does no-one else think its a bit random to make that statement though.........Hmmm apparently not. Oh well - must be the terribly unpolluted air I breathe up here!! :D

[Jene Sai]

Does anyone else find it a bit creepy that "Mr. Smith" from the Matrix played "Elrond"? In my head I keep hearing Elrond say, "Hello Mr. Anderson". Maybe it is just my twisted habit of associating very different movies.

-JS

P.S...One of my favorite scenes from FOTR would have to be the part where the "Three Hunters" set off in search of Merry and Pippin..."Let's hunt some Orc"...I love that line.

[unleavened]

I thought the whole Hugo Weaving (am I right?) being Elrond thing was really messed up. He's WAY too ugly to be an elf, and WAY to evil looking.

[borntofly]

I noticed that too. I think that's why I couldn't keep a straight face in most of the scenes with Elrond in them, I kept hearing his voice as an agent and the spiffy "Hello Mr. Anderson" line.
I thought the whole Hugo Weaving (am I right?) being Elrond thing was really messed up. He's WAY too ugly to be an elf, and WAY to evil looking.
Yup yup, too evil looking to play Elrond...he was nothing like the way I pictured Elrond when I was reading the books.

[unleavened]

Oh, good. I'm not the only one. Most of the people I talked to said he was a good Elrond.


...???

[inkspot]

I don't remember seeing him in anything else, so I thought he was a good Elrond.

[unleavened]

Heathen!!
Kidding.

[inkspot]

LOL --
I saw the Matrix a long time ago, but I didn't recognize Elrond as being in it. Probably if I had, I would have felt differently ...

[Jene Sai]

This post may label me as a heretic, but then I guess I am too controversial for my own good....

...I can forgive Liv Tyler as Arwen, Orlando Bloom as Legolas and Hugo Weaving as Elrond, but I don't think I will ever adjust to Elijah Wood as Frodo...It is not that he is way too young (which he is) but the fact that he is simply too immature for the role....He does well as a happy, carefree young hobbit, but he doesn't portray the strength of character necessary to bear the burden of the one ring....To phrase it differently, Elijah is too like Pippin and not enough like Aragorn, Gandalf, or another character with an inner strength that belies their outer appearance...

-JS

PS..I am interested who agrees or disagrees with me, so please weight in on the issue.

[Smog]

Well, I would agree with you JS (especially after seeing him in a few late-night interviews...). He just seems too immature for the role, he was supposed to be the oldest of the hobbits, yet in the movie he was the youngest. It just didn't seem to work.

[unleavened]

As I said before. I didn't like him as Frodo. He was too young on the outside and he seemed very distant and not in touch with reality. I always thought Frodo had more strength than that.
Although I have a hard time forgiving their choice of actors for the elves. Legolas was ok, but the others were a disaster. How could Arragorn love someone who was so spacy? It just didn't fit.

[inkspot]

I agree. JS had it right when she said he was okay for a care-free young Hobbit, but fell apart when he needed to be the driven Ring Bearer on quest. I think Wood could have done it with better direction from PJ -- he needed to be more determined and display more inner strength, rather than looking all the time as if he were just being buffeted along whichever way the wind blew.

[Jene Sai]

Thank you....I'm glad I am not alone on this.

-JS

[GrayCloak]

Although I have a hard time forgiving their choice of actors for the elves. Legolas was ok, but the others were a disaster. How could Arragorn love someone who was so spacy? It just didn't fit.

Boy do I agree with you here. Cate Blanchet I thought did her best - but the character that PJ wrote just didn't work for me - too dark and mysctic; she didn't seem to have any of Galdriel's warmth. I also imagined the lady of light being a bit more...well beautiful (miss Blanchet is pretty, and I admire her quite a bit - but she just didn't have that 'unearthly' quality I was expecting.) She was my favorite of the elves - however.

And you hit the nail on the head with Arwen. Liv just always looked like she was distracted by something shiny.

[inkspot]

Liv just always looked like she was distracted by something shiny.
LOL! That is very humorous!

But I liked Arwen, I thought she was lovely. I liked Galadriel, too, although she was quite different from my imagination of her.

[borntofly]

I didn't like Galadriel, and was frustrated by how large Arwen's part in the movie was.

[inkspot]

I didn't like Galadriel, and was frustrated by how large Arwen's part in the movie was.
No. Arwen's expanded role = good.
Arwen = pretty.

[waterhogboy]

No. Arwen's expanded role = good.
Arwen = pretty.

I agree - heehee!!!! :D

[borntofly]

I agree with the pretty part...but what happend to Glorfindel?

[inkspot]

I agree with the pretty part...but what happend to Glorfindel?
Well, Arwen was such a doll, they decided to give his part to her. For us hopeless romantics, this worked better ...

[borntofly]

I liked Glorfindel though :( ! What happened to Dernhelm in the movie? Merry just knew it was Eowyn...argh! They did a good job visually with these movies, but they changed so much. I want to see the director's cut.

[inkspot]

What happened to Dernhelm in the movie? Merry just knew it was Eowyn...argh!
I agree, that dynamic was lost, and that was too bad, because Dernhelm was almost a character in herself, with that death wish in her eyes ... Now, is the director's cut the same as the special extended edition DVD? Cuz I have all those, and it's great to watch and pick out which bits weren't in the cinema version. I have to say, although they are longer, they are much better with the additional scenes!

[Narnian Jedi]

Once I've read LOTR, the movies pale in comparison. They should have stayed true to the books. If they 'tweaked' some scenes and made them faithful to the book (scenes like Sam leaving Frodo, Arwen anything, Theoden's indecision, most of the Helm's Deep battle, etc...) It would have been much better. But I still love the movies they were very well made.

I think the directer's cut and extended version are the same. I want to see all of those scenes, and didn't they write music for the scenes as well? aghh! I want them!Once I've read LOTR, the movies pale in comparison. They should have stayed true to the books.

Arwen anything! yup, same here, but Arwen did well in RotK, alomost exactly like the book. Why did they make up that scene with Sam leaving? Don't forget Treebeard's indecision (i didn't like that :(). the battle at Helm's deep bugged me, and come on, the elves didn't fight at helm's deep. THe could have tweak a lot of the scenes to make them more lie the book, but that's okay. They are indeed good movies, just a little messy.

whew! I thought my sis and I were the only ones who voiced this frustration. :) But yeah they're great as stand alone movies (until you've read the books ;)) I just hope LWW isn't too far off from the books. *fingers crossed*

[inkspot]

I agree, you have to consider the LOTR movies as a different thing from the books, but as movies, they are just superb. I think maybe LWW will be that way, too. I am wiling for it to vary from the book as LOTR did, as long as the movie is in the spirit of the book and a good movie.

[borntofly]

Its hard for me to watch movies that have been contrived from books. I just hope the LWW is better than LotR (in the sense that it stays true to the book) I'm biting my fingernails.

[benjamin_narnialover]

oh man. don't even get me started on the lotr movies. if i'm not careful, i'll go off at just about all the scenes in the movies (while watching). i still love them though. they just frustrate me because of how good they could have been if they'd stayed true-er to the books.

but favourite scene, probably where boromir tries to take the ring and falls down and says 'frodo! I'm sorry' etc. also the bit on concerning hobbits is awesome too. i love where the one hobbit just keeps picking his ear and looking at his finger, and where the hobbit in 'love' pauses talking to his sweetheart to eat.

[inkspot]

Ha - those are funny choices, Benji!

[Checkmate]

My favorite scenes are when Gimli and Legolas are counting their kills...

[Johan 72109]

Especially at the end of the battle, where Legolas finds out he's lost the competition and starts sulking... :D

[legolas]

no! that didn't happen. it was the other way around!

[she-elfwarrior19]

oohhhh he wouldnt sulk, and he wouldnt lose a compettiton, where'd you get that from?

[legolas]

huh...

10

[Johan 72109]

It's in the extended addition, (and the book too).

Gimli sits on an Uruk corpse after the battle. Legolas comes forward and says he killed 41. Gimli laughs and says he killed 42. Legolas instantly looks moody, draws an arrow, and shoots the corpse beneath Gimli, says that's his 42nd dead Uruk, and explains that it was twitching and had to be still alive. We pan out to see that the corpse has Gimli's axe inbedded in it's skull. The scene ends with Gimli, amazingly, disallowing this so-called 'kill'.

[inkspot]

That's right! legolas loses ...

[legolas]

oh ya... DARN!

[The Magician's Nephew]

My favortie scene is when Boromir is protecting merry and pippin during the last battle in Fellowship of the Ring. You have to give major props to him. He lasted three arrows (or four, I forget the number)! And then he realizes his fault and confesses it to Aragon.

[benjamin_narnialover]

yes! that's another of mt favourtie scenes. especially in the extended version where it's longer. actually, now that i think about it, just about all of the final battle counts as my favourite 'scene.' it's much better than the fights in the later movies. i found this fighting, especially boromir's death scene, much more emotional than the large scale battles of the later movies. also the later battles all seem to be over-edited, so it's very hard to know quite what's going on at times.

[CloakedShadow]

hmmm that's true about not knowing what going on at times...

[inkspot]

Yes, Boromir was a tough guy, and he was only trying to do his best for his father and his country. That is a good scene, but it's so intense!

[Gryphon]

i like the aragorn's coronation, the ents, bilbo's party, and sam's wedding. but my absolute fav. part was from the extended version of "The Return of the King" when Eowyn and Faramir hold hands. i really liked it b'cause they were my two favorite characters and i had just let go of a boy i had fancied when i first saw the scene... i kind of already felt like Eowyn cause i'm not a sissy and i thought Faramir was the hottest guy in the trilogy so i felt sooooo much better after i saw it.

[Aslan the Wise one]

Man I have been a fan of Lotr for many Years now and i stell can;t dside well i guees all of them with Gandalf in them just becose i'm a big fan of him.......

[rohan.girl]

id have to say i love the weathertop scene, the scene where gandalf returns, and the one where pippin is singing while tey are going into battle. the whole thing is good. its hard 2 deciede

[legolas]

I like it when Legolas kills the elephant(i don't know how to spell the one in LOTR) and gimli says, "THAT STILL ONLY COUNTS AS ONE!!!

[Sam]

Two that spring to mind are both in the extended versions- in first one in the pub in Hobbiton, when Merry and Pippin are singing and dancing. It just looks like they're having such a laugh. And another one, which is quite similar- when Legolas and Gimli have a drinking competition and get to the point where Gimli collapses, whereas Legolas' hand 'feels tingly' .

[legolas]

OH THAT SECOND ONE IS MY SECOND FAV! (I only have the ex.version) it was funny because the drink barely effected Legolas!!! Because he was an elf! hehehe

[The Duck]

If I have ONE favourite scene, I think it would be the charge of the Rohirrim in ROTK, including Theoden's speech. Most of these epic movies involve some sort of cheesey "motivational" ditrade, but I actually found Theoden's to be moving. Also, "DEATH!!!!!" is just a cool pre-charge yell. It could either mean death to your enemies, or a defiant, sucicidal call showing how the army is willing to fight to the bitter end without fear.

I loved the "I am no man" line! It was wicked awesome. :D Though, I would have preferred if they used the book's wording "No living man am I". It probably would have sounded corny in the movie, but I just like the cadence better.

Cool! They are both my favourite scenes too! I love it when you hear the horn blowing and see the Rohirrim on the horizon and Theoden's speech is perfect.

[she-elfwarrior19]

ya thats a good part.

[pegasus62]

I like the scene at the end of the Return of the King where everyone's kneeling to the four hobbits-they deserved that so much! All of them looked really surprised and they were all grinning. :D Yeah, that was a great scene to top off the crowning of Aagorn.

[rohan.girl]

wow i have way to many.
i love the scene where gandalf comes back, the scene before he goes down. i like the part where he rides shadowfax to scare away the nazgules. and of course, the second breakfast scene. but above all my favorite would have to be where pippin is singing while the 2 sides are going in2 battle. the first time i saw it it sent chills down my spine. its so powerful, i love it!

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

but above all my favorite would have to be where pippin is singing while the 2 sides are going in2 battle. the first time i saw it it sent chills down my spine. its so powerful, i love it!

that seen was sad...the knights knew they didn't stand a chance...the tomato juice dribbling down denethor's chin was enough to know it went horribly... :(

my fave scenes?the entmoot...eomer taking out a mumak, and gandalf whacking denethor in the head with his staff! :D

i also enjoyed the charge of the rohirrim-not so much when they ran into the mumakil though...

[Elendil]

When Haldir dies, (The 2 towers) it's so real and sad. And where Pippin is singing and where Legolas skateboards, sorry sheildboards down the stairs at Helms deep, and Borrimir dying is great to.

[Eowyn]

oh yeah, that was an AWSOME scene! i really like the scene in the Extended Edition of RotK when Legolas and Gimli get into a drinking contes...that was great!

[waterhogboy]

Welcome Eowyn!! Its great to see you round here! If you want to, you can tell us a bit about yourself in the intro thread. Hope to see ya round here more often! :)

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

i'm fond of the last march of the ents...and the siege of isengard :D

[Eowyn]

the last march of the ents was well done in the movie! I think that the path of the dead sequence was really interesting too.

[Elendil]

Every one talks about the extended version, and I feel like the only one who hasn't seen it. *SNIFF* What are the extended bits?

[Pendelton_the_cook]

mmmmmm what are the extended bits, well if u can spare the 120 bucks they have brought out a trilogy of the SEE's so yeah, i wouldnt just get them for the extended bits of the film the special features are so good, like you really feel closer to the production of the film after that and i think i really appreciate the film more.

your video store might have them aswell, but i really suggest u buy them :)

[Pendelton_the_cook]

ha forgot to say my fav scene, im a chop

id have to say mine would def be when boromir dies and frodo and sam run away. id never even heard of lord of the rings before i saw that film, so id just sat through 2 and a half hours of this cinema spectacular and i loved every minute and then with the death of boromir and the breaking of the fellowship music with sam and frodo in the boat, i was a really moving peice of cinema, one i wont forget im sure. :)

[Eowyn]

can we just say that the entire movie is our favorite sceen? :D

[she-elfwarrior19]

I like all the battle scenes, im not sure about a fave though :(

[Saruman]

Although (like most everyone here) I have several favorite scenes in the movies that I enjoy, I think the tragic scene between Denethor and Faramir in the extended ROTK is one of my favorites (there is a dialogue between them concerning Faramir's choice to let the Ring go and Denethor suddenly sees Boromir in the distance). That was powerful (and tragic).

[she-elfwarrior19]

I loved that part, when they showed Denethor seeing Boramir, i love the extended edition.

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

can we just say that the entire movie is our favorite sceen? :D

i'd like to!

[windstorm87]

I love when Gandalf shouts "You shall not pass" but I don't think the Belrog should have had horns. I also love it whan Gandalf leads the charge down the hill and the light and dark armies crash like waves at the battle of helms deep.

[glamel]

i love the every part of the movie too!!!!!!!! :D

[unleavened]

i love the every part of the movie too!!!!!!!! :D
I don't like the part where Aragorn and Arwen are being all sentimental. I thought it was great in the book where we found out at the end and said, "What the heck! Oh well."

[glamel]

ooh, :( i love that one too, every part of it, every minute, every fight, every laughter, every cry, everything!!!!

[Saruman]

I enjoyed the love scenes between Aragorn and Arwen in the movie, although I don't think it was as chivalrous a love as Tolkien may have envisioned it. At any rate, you get the entire story of their meeting in the Appendices at the end of ROTK; it tells of their meeting and - eventually - their parting. What a beautiful (and tragic) tale.

[sweetpumpkin87]

I really liked those parts too, but favorite part was in ROTK with like the big elephant looking things i can't remember there names anyway i really liked that battle scene with them in it :D

[Saruman]

That was such a hard battle scene to follow - ROTK had me in tears, and still touches me deeply. Those were called (apparently in the tongue of the Men of Harad) mûmakil.

[sweetpumpkin87]

Thanks for the name, i can't believe i couldn't remember it , thanks again :)

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

I enjoy the whole of the movies as well!!! I think Mumakil is the Elven name for them.....(the Oliphants) one of my fave scenes is Helm's Deep-the deeping wall, er, before the mine explodes and the elves get whooped :p . When Gimli and legolas start their counting match again! "What!! I'll have no pointy-ear outscoring me!" He says this among the elves....hehe. :D

[ElectricJello]

I just love the part where the Rohan riders come down in ROTK and trample all of the orcs. I also love the part where Awen kills that one wrath(sp?) guy! Die steriotypes!!!

[DryadofLanternWaste]

I just love the part where the Rohan riders come down in ROTK and trample all of the orcs. I also love the part where Awen kills that one wraith guy! Die stereotypes!!!

Éowyn, its Éowyn, who kills the Witchking, not Arwen. Arwen was sitting home in Rivendell waiting for Aragorn to gain her father's blessing *coughthethronecough*

Yay for fey, fair women! (Éowyn was insane)
"Éowyn I am, Eomund's daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him."

(They should have put that in the movie)

[ArrowsOfSilver]

i love the part at the end of FOTR, with Sam and Frodo in the boat!

"im going to mordor alone."
"of course you are. and im coming with you!"

its So sweet, and i cry every time.

~AOS~

[ElectricJello]

Éowyn, its Éowyn, who kills the Witchking, not Arwen. Arwen was sitting home in Rivendell waiting for Aragorn to gain her father's blessing *coughthethronecough*

(They should have put that in the movie)

Whoops, sorry, its been a while since I saw it, and there is an Awen in there, I was hoping I got it right, guess not :o . Yeah they should have put that quote in the movie:)

[Wings of Vanity]

I love every scene from the movies- cause i am like a fanatic!! But especially enjoy when Legolas does anythng special cause I love him!!

[Christine~Pevensie]

the battle scenes defintely !!
oh and also the FOTR when they had a party in Hobbiton. that was pretty cool. And when they first arrived at Rivendell. that place is soo pretty i wanna live there ! hehe !!

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

I saw the extended ROTK rec :D ently, and I liked the houses of healing scene!

[DryadofLanternWaste]

that scene made me so frustrated, they showed a clip so short and pointless that they might as well not have put it in. If you're going to include the scene at least show some real dialogue. I mean Faramir wooing Eowyn dialogue, book dialogue. *excuses self* I'm a purist. Or the healing of Faramir and Merry at least. They filmed it you know.

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

I didn't know they filmed that part.....there were parts of the movies i didn't like being so far from the book(like the lack of the scourging of the shire), but overall i think they did very well! I also enjoyed Lothlorien... :D AND WHEN THE ENTS STORMED ISENGARD AND MERRY AND PIPPIN BONKED ORCS W/ ROCKS! :D

[Saruman]

The singing by Liv Tyler during the extended scene at the Houses of Healing was just too beautiful. Excellent addition.

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

I had no idea up till a few days ago that she sang that, she has a lovely voice :)

[DryadofLanternWaste]

Now if only they had let her sing in Rivendell. I don't think the elves got much of a chance to sing, pity.

[DropkickJake]

In RotK when the rohirrim tell their king that they can not defeat the armies of Sauron:

"No, but we will meet them in battle none the less."

[Elizabeth Pevensie]

This may sound lame but, my favorite scene is from Return of the King, is at the end when Frodo and Bilbo are in the carriage journeying to sea,where the ship is waiting for them to go to the west,to the Gray Heavens. Bilbo asks if he can see his ring one last time and Frodo tells him he lost it. Bilbo is all like pity,I wish I could hold it one last time. I like that scene because now that the one ring is destroyed, Bilbo and Frodo can finally have peace.

[You_set_my_soul_on_fire]

Hmm... i think my fave scene was...oh dang it had to be anything that Legolas was in! psssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhh...Orlando Bloom is soooooooooooooooo...you get the idea :)

[faithful1]

in fotr: the mirror, the nazgul/ringwraiths in the shire, moria, and the bridge/evenstar scene. the mirror of galadriel because galadriel is so scary in it and it looks so cool! lol.the bridge/evenstar scene since it's so romantic and sweet...the nazgul/ringwraith scene because they are so terrifying! and moria because of the balrog and when gandald says: all you have to decide is what to do with the time given to you..
in ttt: the funeral of theodred (it's in the exteneded version), the simbelmyne on the burial grounds, and when sam says "it's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo."
the funeral because eowyn sings good and because it's so sad..the simbelmyne on the burial grounds for the same reasons as theodreds funeral and nd when sam says "it's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo." because it is bittersweet. it shows hope and courage...
in rotk: the grey havens scene. because it makes me cry...lol.
most of the scenes i like because they are sad...

[You_set_my_soul_on_fire]

yeah I watched the scene where haldir dies over and over when i got the DVDs. I got so mad that jackson killed him off. It wasn't followingtthe book at all.

[Twilightdryadhobbit]

In FOTR: The end, because everyone is off to do impossible tasks to save the world, but they're going to hunt orc because they know that even if they wish that none of it had happened, that they hadn't gotten into theses situations, all they can do now is do what's right, "all they have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to them" as Gandalf says. I also like when Boromir takes down like sixteen orcs after getting shot three times. That part is so sad, and so inspiring. Also, I still love Aragorn's first scene with Frodo. It was the first time I'd heard him properly, not in a spliced together version for a commercial, and his voice was so different from what I'd expected, and a lot lot better than any other Aragorn I'd seen that it made me love him, and the scene.

In TTT: Sam's speech at the end, and Aragorn's "Ride out with me" I also like Merry's speech to the ents, when they tell him that "This is not our war" and he says "But your part of this world! You have to help!" It really reminds me of current events, and how we shoudl have the courage to help others if it's the right thing to do, even if it's not technically "Our war."

In ROTK: When the Rohhirrim come to Gondor. They see that thier friends are in huge trouble, and most likely a lot of them are dead, but they know what they have to do, what is right to do, and what they can do to save future generations. It's an incredible act of love and heroism, and even hope to shout "death!" before they let evil win. They realize that too late is not worse than never,(To quote Merry in the book) and they may not be too late. I also adore the part where Arwen turns back from the Grey Havens, she stops not because of her undying love for Aragorn, not because she wants to help save Middle Earth, though these are all part of it, but what tips the scale overwhelmingly is the possiblity that she will have a child. She gives up her immortality irrevocably not only for Aragorn, but because she wants to stay and have her child. She considers that unborn, unconcieved life so precious that she gives up her own for it. That is such a powerful, powerful message to our world today. Also, I cry through the last ten minutes of the movie, so that's also my favorite part.

P.S. I may think Mr. Tumnus has nice eyes, and Peter is very handsome, but I also have Aragorn, Legolas and ring letters bracelets on my arm, so that's where my true loyalties lie. :)

[high_kingpeter]

In the TTT: Gandalf comes with Eomer and the Rohirrim. Absolutely amazing, I felt myself tearing with joy as Gandalf came to the aid of the Rohan warriors.

[Saruman]

The music and the singing of Ben Del Maestro as Gandalf, Éomer and the Rohirrim rode down the hill to finish off Saruman's army was a beautiful addition to the scene! Music is so powerful, and when it is beautiful it makes a movie shine and glisten brilliantly!

[InstantRamen]

liek woah so hard to answer

um well considering pippin was like my favorite charater mostly all the scenes with him i guess..hehe

[WillsGirl]

All THREE movies?
Okay well this is going to sound SUPER corny but the Two Towers came out when my brother had cancer so yeah....
Um in the first one I liked the whole Weather Top scene just because it was UBER cool and Strider is a whole lot like my awesome brother!
In the Two Towers I loved Sam's little speach that "All darkness must dast." That was good for me to hear at that time. But I also loved the whole theme of hope that was in that movie.
of course the Pellenor battle was AWESOME in the ROTK and it was SO sad bet well done where Eomer holds Eowyn and is like screaming!
But before that I love the scene where Pippin and Gandalf are on the balcony talking and Pippin says.
"I don't want to be in a battle. But waiting on the edge of one I can't escape is worse."
That really hit home when we thought my brother's cancer came back.
BUT luckily it didn't. so that's good.
Ok sorry for such a sentimental post. LOL :D

[InstantRamen]

aww that sucks...aw i would be so sad if someone i was close to had cancer T.T im glad he is oki though ^.^ i hope it never comes back!~

Well, thank you very much!!!

[Andrew the Magnificent]

The most powerful scene in the movies is in The Two Towers at Helm's Deep - Forth Eorlingas.

[WillsGirl]

True because it's another one of those "light in the darkness" "hope" pictures.
Very powerful... very good!

[mrstumnus99]

"I am no man" I make everyone shut up at the part! and any parts with the hobbits! oh yeah and the Grey Havens!

[christine]

In Two Towers there is the scene where Elrond tells Arwen what will happen in her life if she doesn't leave Middle Earth with other elves. and decides to marry Aragorn. I love the shot where Arwen is standing beside Aragorn's body, tears in her eyes. Absolutely beautiful. :rolleyes:

And in the same film the scene where Gandalf and the Rohirrim arrive to Helm's Deep and ride down the slope.

[oceanborn]

the battles in general.

[polly&digory]

the best scene hands down is when sam carries frodo to finish the job. I cried and i never cry at movies.

[Twilightdryadhobbit]

My favorite scene from LOTR was when the Rohirrim charge the orcs who are laying siege to Gondor. It just made me think about what I love about these characters, that they will fight to save thier friends, even if they know that they're probably dead inside the burning city. It was filmed so beautifully, and moved me emotionally so much, that it is my favorite scene. Of course, I also love Sma carrying Frodo, and Sam's wedding, and Aragorn and Arwen's kiss in Return of the King. I have a lot of favorite moments, but I really like the first one a lot. I also love a bunch of scenes in the other two movies, but Return of the King is my favorite. It made me really cry, and I had never cried at any movies except for the Lord of the Rings movies.

[Elvess_Leawyn_Greenleaf]

My favorite scenes are any between pippin and merry and Gimli and LEGOLAS<3!!! :D :D :D

[Gondor Knight of Narnia]

Some of my faves?The Rohirrim rushing in at Helm's Deep, the Mumakil of Harad on the Pelennor fields, uuhhhh what else?
The whole Siege of Minas Tirith, Gimli knocking Legolas' bow n' making hit PJ the Corsair, uuhhh The Houses of Healing,
The elves on the Deeping Wall, Galadriel.:D
uuhhh, Gimli being most uncourtious to Haldir in LothLorien....there are plenty of others. Including Smeagol having a spazzy attack in Emyn Muil(when he gets ahead of Sam n' Frodo n' mutters), and when he eats the worm in the Dead Marshes. I also like the ship at the Grey Havens...that was so sad...:D

[DaydreamBeliever]

The end of the Return of the King thats in my banner.Pippin catching the boquet :D and all the funny scenes with Pippin and Merry,esp. the firewroks!:D

[Crunchine]

I love the whole trilogy, but my favorite would probably be at the end when everyone bows to the hobbits.

[fernshirehobbit]

that was such a great sceen. i love the different faces of the hobbits when everyone bows.:D

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

The scene with grond :D When the orcs start calling Grond! I never knew orcs could swing :eek:

[fernshirehobbit]

or when merry is giving his motivational speech to the ents.

[DaydreamBeliever]

I also love Sam's "I made a promise" scene in the Fellowship.

[Kahleina]

I like where Legolas "skateboards" down the stairs on an orc's shield :D

[Aravis Kenobi]

Wow, this is a hard one.

Fav scene in FOTR: the two scenes between Frodo and Sam ("Sam, we're still in the Shire; what could possibly happen?" and "and I don't mean to. I don't mean to.")

Fav. Scene in TTT: (EE and regular edition) (EE first) the beginning, the scene between Aragorn and Arwen, all the Eowyn scenes (regular and EE), the EntDraft scene,Faramir and Boromir scene, Legolas' and Gimli's contest (EE and regular), and the ending speech made by Sam.

Fav. Scene in ROTK: Eowyn scenes,where Legolas kills the Mumakil ("That still only counts as one!"), and the coronation.

[~dancing with fauns~]

Yes, a very hard question indeed! I love the movies in general, but let me see if I can think of some of the scenes that I like to admire more than others:

lets see, I have always admired the scene with sam and frodo on Mount Doom. It is the sweetest and one of the strongest moments in the whole trilogy, because friendships are put to the test, and Sam proved his friendship to be unbreakable. He wasn't about to give up on Frodo, or the mission. Not only did he probably have those two in mind, but the rest of the friends he knew. He took that to heart, and was determined to save them, and save his best friend from death and corruption. *smiles* Sam is the best! Everytime I watch that scene on the third movie, I normally get teared up. It's very touching! :o

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

You have to love Sam. If there is one character who touches the hearts of everybody, it is Sam. You gotta love him.

The king of death coming outside to Aragorn and say" We'll fight" just at the moment when Aragorn thought everything was lost.

[Kahleina]

Oh yeah, and I also like The Coucil of Elrond at Rivendell in FotR "No, indeed, it is hardly possible to separate you from him, even when he is summoned to a secret Council, and you are not." and then...Elrond: Nine companions. So be it! You shall be the Fellowship of the Ring. Pippin: Great! Where are we going? :D love those lines :p

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

One heartbreaking scene where Gandalf felt down while fighting the balrog. The voice on the background.........AWESOME!!! I always get shivers when I hear that part.

[fernshirehobbit]

One heartbreaking scene where Gandalf felt down while fighting the balrog. The voice on the background.........AWESOME!!! I always get shivers when I hear that part.

yes, it is an impressive scene.:rolleyes:

[Mrs Gil-Galad Took]

Maybe even more because of the music when he falls and Frodo screams.

[fernshirehobbit]

yes, the music of the movies is very effective in portraying the right mood:)

[Smaug]

I like the part when Shadow Fax comes. hes my fave!:D

[Neevil]

I love all of the scenes in Lothlorien... that's my favorite part of the books, too.

[Telcontargirl]

I like the scene when Aragorn is first talking to Frodo and Sam is so distrustful of him.

[iminlovewithedwardcullen]

I like the bit right at the end with all sams kiddies!!! their soo cute!!

[KathrynJanewayChakotay]

Its hard for me to Narrow down scenes i like they are all good i guess my favorte are the secense With Legolas and Gimli doing there body count. And Lorian and rinvedell wit the elves.

one of my fave quotes is one of Halidir when they first hit lorian "The dwarf breathed so Loud we could have shot him in the Dark"

[Lord of Light]

My favorite scene would have to be when Frodo, Gandalf, Bilbo, and the Elves are sailing away on the White Ship, into the west.:)

[DaydreamBeliever]

The Fellowship: a tie betwen Sam's "I made a promise" scene,and Pippin&Merry lighting the fireworks.:p

The Two Towers:Sam's speech at the end.

The Return of the King:TONS!The eye falling from the tower,the eagles rescuing Sam&Frodo,Aragorn's coronation,Sam&Rosie's wedding....

All time favorite scene:The ending when Sam goes home.I love when he picks up and hugs Elanor.:D

[Elentari]

Fellowship: The Flight to the Ford (beginning with "What's this, a Ranger caught off his guard?") and everything between Lothlorien and when they ride past the Argonath.

Two Towers: The Aragorn/Arwen flashbacks, Gimli/Legolas and Merry/Pippin humor, the scene when Eowyn finds out how old Aragorn is (the soup!), and the Ents attacking Isengard.

Return of the King: Arwen's Vision, the Reforging of Narsil (Anduril), the Lighting of the Beacons, when Aragorn leads the Army of the Dead against the Black Ships, then when they get off the boat and the orcs think it's just the 3 of them...Aragorn's speech at the Black Gate, his coronation, and the Grey Havens. I know, it's practically 1/2 the movie...;)

[Josh]

Here are my favorite scenes.
In FotR: The prolouge/ the scene where Gandalf tells Frodo "Many that live deserve death and some that die deserve life."/ every scene with the Ringwraiths(especially Arwen's chase scene)/and the death of Boromir(well done).

TTT: The Battle of Helm's Deep(best part in all three movies)/Sam's speech/The scene where Frodo tells Gollum his real name/ Elrond describing to Arwen how Aragorn will die and she will live on(cause it uses many lines from the book)/and the scene where Gandalf casts Sauruman out of theoden.

RotK: The Siege of Gondor and the Battle of the Pelenor Fields/ the scenes with Faramir and Denethor/ Aragorn's speech at the Black Gate/ The Charge at the Black Gate(for Frodo)/ Shelob's scenes/ all the footage at Mt. Doom/the death of Sauron/ the scene where Gandalf and the Witch King have a confrontation(in the EE only).

[Elentari]

I was on YouTube the other day looking up LOTR videos, mainly Arwen ones as she is my favorite. I came across two vids (one for TT and one for ROTK), both titled similarly...The scenes for "Best Dialogue. Occasionally during the video a "For Your Consideration" will come on the screen. ;)

The best part--for me--is both of these scenes are favorites, both dealing with Arwen/Aragorn & Arwen. The best part for LOTR fans is that these have LOTS of book quote/material and also dialogue/information from the LOTR appendices (from the book not movie ;)).

Anyway, here are the links to the two clips.

Lord of the Rings Two Towers Best Dialog:
(Focuses mainly on scene of Elrond telling Arwen what will occur if she chooses mortality, also includes Galadriel :))
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LWnoOWS-SzI&feature=related

Lord of the Rings Return of the King Best Dialog (also called Elrond's Vision):
(Arwen's Vision, her confrontation of her father, and the reforging of Narsil)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bs0vJGlEG3E&NR=1

Now I'm going to watch them again! ha ha! :D

[Josh]

Speaking of Arwen, they edited out several scenes with Arwen and they did not put them in the extended editions. From previews, trailers, and clips I have seen

1.Some scenes with her in Rivendell:http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/extra_rivendell/5.php

2. Some scene with her and Legolas touching each others faces:http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/extra_rivendell/3.php

3. A scene where Aragorn and Arwen first meet each other. Aragorn's beard is shaven:http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/aa_meeting/1.php

4. A scene in Lothlorien where she talks to Galadriel:http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/arwen_hd/3.php

5. A scene in Lothlorien with her and her father:http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/arwen_hd/4.php

6. Famous footage of her at Helm's Deep. She was originally going to fight beside Aragorn during the battle. Her scenes were filmed, but angry fan reaction led to the writers coming up with new scenes for Arwen in the Two Towers:http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/arwen_hd/6.php

7. A scene with Arwen and her father on a bridge in Rivendell. Elrond leaves saying "I cannot protect you anymore:http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/reforged/6.php

8. A scene of Arwen looking for a book in the Rivendell Library. The book is probably the one she dropped:http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/reforged/3.php

9. A scene where Arwen hugs her father. This is probably once the RIng is destroyed, and she begins to feel better(remember how she was dying):http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/reforged/2.php

[Elentari]

They edited out several scenes with Arwen and they did not put them in the extended editions. From previews, trailers, and clips I have seen

4. A scene in Lothlorien where she talks to Galadriel:http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/arwen_hd/3.php

I have seen something with #3 and #4, #1 wouldn't surprise me, but NOTHING with #2...Not sure what the purpose of THAT would be in the film.

[Elentari]

Speaking of Arwen, they edited out several scenes with Arwen and they did not put them in the extended editions. From previews, trailers, and clips I have seen

1.Some scenes with her in Rivendell:http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/extra_rivendell/5.php


This is probably a result of filming a scene different ways and then deciding which one is best.

2. Some scene with her and Legolas touching each others faces:http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/extra_rivendell/3.php

They aren't touching each other's faces. ??? I know it SAYS they are, but yet no picture of it. Besides, since when do they even KNOW each other? I can understand why that was dropped...No book ANYTHING to back it up. ;)

3. A scene where Aragorn and Arwen first meet each other. Aragorn's beard is shaven:http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/aa_meeting/1.php

I wondered at this one. I have it on my computer, yet I never could place it. I doubt we'll see it in the connector either since it doesn't follow Tolkien's account of their meeting (though, maybe the 2nd time when they are betrothed, definitely not the first when Arwen hasn't fallen in love yet).

4. A scene in Lothlorien where she talks to Galadriel:http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/arwen_hd/3.php

I've seen this too. It makes sense they'd cut it when they--thankfully-cut out her fighting at HD.

5. A scene in Lothlorien with her and her father:http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/arwen_hd/4.php

I've seen this also. Again, probably cut since there were "better" ways of having Elrond and Arwen discuss her choice.

6. Famous footage of her at Helm's Deep. She was originally going to fight beside Aragorn during the battle. Her scenes were filmed, but angry fan reaction led to the writers coming up with new scenes for Arwen in the Two Towers:http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/arwen_hd/6.php

"Famous"? Rather, INfamous. ;) Shudder. I'm SO glad they decided on other scenes. Those "others" are my absolute favorites...I would NOT have liked her being at HD.

7. A scene with Arwen and her father on a bridge in Rivendell. Elrond leaves saying "I cannot protect you anymore:http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/reforged/6.php

I've seen this in the trailers. Obviously connected to the other "red dress" scenes in ROTK. I guess they thought they already had the point across. :)

8. A scene of Arwen looking for a book in the Rivendell Library. The book is probably the one she dropped:http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/reforged/3.php

I have this one. Same as above I think. I DID expect to see it in the extended, but oh well.

9. A scene where Arwen hugs her father. This is probably once the RIng is destroyed, and she begins to feel better(remember how she was dying):http://wings-immortal.net/lote/information/lost_scenes/reforged/2.php[/QUOTE]

Either that, or something from her other "red dress" scenes. Goodness, I'm sure the girl didn't wear the SAME DRESS that WHOLE TIME. ;)

Thanks for fixing the links so I could see the "evidence"!

[Josh]

Mabye there was originally going to be a love triangle between Aragorn, Arwen, and Legolas? And mabye in the scene where Legolas takes the Evenstar from the orc(after Aragorn fell off the cliff) he would have realized that Arwen loved Aragorn, not him?

"Famous"? Rather, INfamous. ;) Shudder. I'm SO glad they decided on other scenes. Those "others" are my absolute favorites...I would NOT have liked her being at HD. I know it would be out of character for Arwen. But I still would like to have seen her Helm's Deep footage in the Special Features.

"Either that, or something from her other "red dress" scenes. Goodness, I'm sure the girl didn't wear the SAME DRESS that WHOLE TIME. ;)

Well she was dying. After the scene where she dropped the book, mabye she felt very sick and she fainted or something. In the middle of the film we see footage of her lying on her bed saying "I wish I could have seen him one last time." So my guess is that if she is so sick that she has to stay in bed, she had no reason to change her clothes.

By the way you said you have seen several of these scenes. Do you have a link to them or something so I could see them.

[Elentari]

Okay, I'm going to have to do this again...I lost my previous attempt. :(

According to fanfic and humor, there apparently is enough "evidence". ha ha. Seriously, the Aragorn-Arwen-Eowyn love triangle is enough with adding Legolas into it. If PJ had went that direction, combined with Arwen fighting in HD, I probably would not own the movies. I like Legolas as a character, but Aragorn would not be Aragorn without Arwen and tampering with that is just wrong.

I know it would be out of character for Arwen. But I still would like to have seen her Helm's Deep footage in the Special Features.

The appendices of TT does show behind the scenes footage, enough to give me an idea and to be thankful they didn't go in that direction. What they had was not only more faithful to the book, but also more faithful to the character of Arwen that Tolkien created.

In the middle of the film we see footage of her lying on her bed saying "I wish I could have seen him one last time." So my guess is that if she is so sick that she has to stay in bed, she had no reason to change her clothes.

After the scene where she dropped the book, Elrond discovers her hands are cold, which apparently is a sign she is or is becoming mortal. Since the book did not tie her life to the fate of the ring, as the movie did, I don't know exactly what was wrong with her other than the shock. I am still not sure if that particular scene (I wish I could have seen him) was actually happening THEN or if it was a "this is what will happen if you don't succeed" type thing. Sauron did use that visual against Aragorn through the palantir, but Sauron would have had no way of seeing that actually taking place. (His vision was not as "far seeing" as people thought...Rivendell was still hidden from him.)

And as for her not changing her clothes...Even when I'm incredibly sick I can't keep wearing the same clothes for more than 2 days, if that. :p

By the way you said you have seen several of these scenes. Do you have a link to them or something so I could see them.

YouTube, my good friend. Here is what I know for sure--

Super Trailer (includes Elrond and Arwen's hug and 2 "2nd age" girls running during the prologue):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPmwyRNw2Ao

ROTK trailer (includes all scenes mentioned between Elrond and Arwen, except the one pic of him standing behind her):

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=biBfGS-C8EM

I don't recall where I saw the Aragorn and Arwen picture, but I'm pretty sure if was in some fan made music videos. Not on my personal favorites, but others I've seen. I've been watching them for the last hour. ;)
