Oh, there are so many...

Wormtongue's lines to Eowyn (not really a monologue, I suppose, but she doesn't say much..)

Who knows

what you have spoken to the darkness
In bitter watches of the night, when
all your life seems to shrink, the walls
of your bower closing in about you,
like a hutch to trammel some wild thing....

So fair, so cold, like a morning of
pale spring still clinging to winter's
chill.

I loved them in the book and I thought giving them to wormtongue was inspired. Carl was great and it really gave his character an edge of insight that made him even more convincing and consequently more creepy. Love, love, love that bit.

Theoden's bit at Theodred's grave -

'Simbelmyne. Ever has it grown on the tombs of my forebearers.

Now it shall cover the grave
of my son.

Alas that these evil days should be mine.

The young perish and the old linger.

That I should live......to see the last days of my house.'

and especially when he does 'Who am I, Gamling' followed by 'Where is the horse and the rider' at Helm's Deep. I was disappointed that they didn't include more of that poem - one of my favourites - but the fabulous cinematography, the atmospheric edit and Bernard's wonderful performance make that scene an outstanding one for me. I personally think Bernard Hill was somewhat miscast as Theoden, but I can't fault his performance.

Those are the three that instantly come to mind, but I'm sure there are more.

(As you can probably tell, TTT probably my favourite of the three films.)
