Oh, why the deaths??? [In reply to] Can't Post

I mean, granted they were well-acted, but not my favorites. Gotta think, OK, here goes in almost chronological order:

1. Thorin singing in Bag End
2. Trollshaws fight
3. Company leaves Rivendell & walks under a gorgeous waterfall
4. Thorin vs. Thranduil in Murkwood
5. First shot of Laketown
6. Smaug's reveal
7. Smaug attacking Laketown
8. Galadriel in Dol Goldur - I know alot of people hate that scene, but I LIKE IT!!!
9. Bilbo saying "I may be a burglar, but I'd like to think I'm an honest one" - LOL!!!
10. And of course, Bombur's bouncing barrel scene.

Honorable mention to the giant bell smashing through the gate.

Why yes, I DO look like Anna Friel!

An Unexpected Party (AUJ)
Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Fire + Eagles (AUJ)
Smaug and Bilbo chat (DoS)
Smaug attacks Lake Town (BotfA)
Thorin & Company charges from Erebor (BotfA)
The Journey Home (BotfA)
The Lake Town Four arrives at Erebor (BotfA)
Mirkwood capture/imprisoning the dwarves + escape (DoS)

I'm useless at this.... [In reply to] Can't Post

But here goes.... (not in order of preference, just the order I thought of them)


Smaug and the golden statue
Feast of starlight
The eagles
Bilbo and Smaug
Beorn's house (especially in the extended version)
Bard,Bain and the black arrow
Bilbo and Gandalf's pipe (taking in the mourning dwarves and the horns of Dale)
Dale and Erebor in the AUJ prologue
The dwarves singing 'Far over the Misty Mountains' in Bag End
Thorin and Balin re-entering Erebor


And if BlackFox can have honourable mentions so can I - we critters must stick together! Here are a few:

Bilbo's homecoming; Bilbo taking leave of the dwarves;
Fili and Kili's arrival at Bag End (post-BotFA it is unbearably poignant);
Gandalf confronting Sauron; Gandalf in the High Fells;
The acorn
Thorin breaking free from the dragon sickness and returning to the dwarves out of the golden light
The raven flying from Erebor and the confrontation at the gate
Bilbo and the Arkenstone
The deaths of Fili, Kili and Thorin

The truth is that I would rate all these and a great many others equally. As the novelty settles and we start to get to know The Hobbit as a whole I realise even more than I did before how much I love these films.

No Riddles in the Dark? No Good morning? [In reply to] Can't Post

That's why I don't do these types of things. No matter how many "honorable mentions" there is always something left out that shouldn't be.

And yes, Riddles in the Dark..... Good Morning...... Rivendell..... - and oh! the scene in front of the Town Hall in Laketown..... Thranduil's halls...... Bilbo and the barrels ....... "I am a Baggins of Bag End"..... Bard and the Prophecy..... Bilbo rushing out without his handkerchief....... the Mithril coat

That's another ten without any effort at all!
