We've had so many rankings posts but this has some interesting questions
Possible the least interesting first and honestly I don't think theres a great deal between any of the films of each trilogy, LOTR being better.
Films -
1. FOTR
2. ROTK
3. TTT
4. BOTFA
5. DOS
6. AUJ
I would tend to agree with your songs, although I think the last one of the trilogy has the benefit of the portraits in the credits that adds to the impact.
Songs -
1. Into the West by Annie Lennox (ROTK)
2. May It Be by Enya (FOTR)
3. The Last Goodbye by Billy Boyd (BOTFA)
4. Song of the Lonely Mountain by Neil Flynn (AUJ)
5. Gollum's Song by Emiliana Torrinni (TTT)
6. I See Fire by Ed Shireen (DOS)
Honestly I think Smaug's attack in the last film doesn't really fit here as its not a flashback like all the others, its a jump into the actual plot.
Openings -
1. Prologue (FOTR)
2. Fire and Water (BOTFA)
3. Foundations of Stone (TTT)
4. My Dear Frodo (AUJ)

1. The End (ROTK)
2. The Breaking of the Fellowship (FOTR)
3. Smaug Unleashed (DOS)
4. The Land of Shadow (TTT)
5. There and Back Again (BOTFA)
6. A Good Omen (AUJ)

3 .Thorins arrival and song
DOS:
1. Bilbo and Smaugs conversation
2. The showdown in Erebor
