Re: Favourite moments in the films?

I loved the Gollum moment when he had a conversation with himself at the pool. A very well executed scene with great acting.

The whisper of the Ring as it lies on the table at Bag End. Gandalf and Frodo both look momentarily startled by it. Chilling stuff.

Other favourites are the Boromir's "Such a strange fate...." speech when he picks the ring up out of the snow and feels it calling him.

The grief stricken emergence from the mines Moria. Lovely lovely sad music there.

Passing the Argonath in the elven boats and the look of wonder in Aragorn's eyes.

The whole Paths of the Dead adventure starting from when Aragorn peers into the narrow road between the rocks and half sees the ghost king. Great tension all the way through. You can feel the fear.

Sam Gamgee's determined charge up inside the orc tower to rescue Frodo. "......And that's for my old Gaffer!". Captures the character's spirit so well.

The whole interaction between Pippin and Denethor; especially the hauntingly sad song over Faramir's men in their slow motion charge. Poignant stuff.

Far too many more favourite moments to list them all.
