It's easy to pick favorites but hard to number them 1. Breaking of the Fellowship (basically the whole ending of FotR, flawlessly done IMO) 2. TTT opening scene 3. AUJ prologue with Smaug, Dale and Erebor 4. The "I can see the Shire" scene at the end of RotK 5. The part in RotK where Frodo and Sam are struggling to climb Mt. Doom, while the beautiful flute(?) music is playing 6. Smaug's reveal and conversation with Bilbo 7. Balrog scene in FotR 8. Gandalf's arrival at Helm's Deep 9. DoS titledrop + Beorn chasing the dwarves 10. "For Frodo" scene in RotK There's loads of other great scenes aswell, but i figured i'd just stick with a top10 for now. Also, like 95% of all my favorite scenes (including those not on the list) are probably because of Howard Shore's music.

1. The Ride of the Rohirrim 2. The Bridge of Khazad-Dum 3. Forth Eorlingas 4. A Far Green Country 5. The Lighting of the Beacons 6. The Tales That Really Matter (Seems almost magical remembering all these moments.) Plus: 7. The Black Rider scenes in FotR (amazing). 8. Mines of Moria (first reveal by Gandalf, showing their splendour), FotR. 9. Gandalf talking to Frodo in the Mines, FotR. 10. First glimpse of Strider at the inn at Bree, FotR. 11. First glimpses of Rohan (fabulous music, beautiful outdoor scenes rather than all CGI studio filming), TTT. 12. Faramir riding out of Gondor against desperate odds, RotK. 13. Misty Mountain song, AUJ. 14. Eagles, AUJ. 15. Whole scene with Thorin and Bilbo at the end, AUJ. 16. Smaug and Bilbo, DoS. 17. AUJ prologue. 18. FotR prologue. (There are probably other iconic moments for me, but I can't think of them at the moment.) NB The numbers don't indicate any kind of grading – these are in no particular order since it is difficult to decide on absolute favourites.

Aragorn and Theoden's conversation at Helm's Deep is fantastic. "If this is to be our end, then I would have them make such an end as to be worthy of remembrance." - LOVE that line. Gets me every time.... IMO, I think Theoden has most of the best lines in the entire trilogy.

Ones that I forgot when making my list: - the gifts of Galadriel - the beacons - the moon runes (so fun to watch this - iconic scene from the book) - Bard finding the tapestry and reciting the prophecy (nice non-book addition, I think)

Just twenty? Pretty hard to narrow it down.... Eowyn running up the steps of Edoras Eowyn standing at the top of the steps of Edoras. “Will you do nothing?...” “Leave me alone, snake!!” “Rick Cottontree.” Eowyn crossing blades with Aragorn. “He fell…” Eowyn arming Merry. Eowyn pulling Merry up onto Windfola. “Death!” “Take the reins!” “I will kill you if you touch him!” Eowyn chopping off the fell beast’s head. “I am no man!” Eowyn smiling one last time for Theoden. Eowyn crying for Theoden. “The city has fallen silent. There is no warmth left in the sun.” Eowyn at the coronation. Eowyn’s portrait in the credits. But what would have been my most favorite scene was left on the cutting room floor: From IMDB trivia: "A scene was cut from the finished film that showed Eowyn (Miranda Otto) stripping away her regular clothes and then dressing herself in the armor of a Rohan warrior." *Darkstone bangs head against wall*

I have to list mine in order of favorites which was very hard to do but: 20. Seeing Lake-town for the first time 19. All things Beorn :) 18. First scene in DOS (from Unfinished Tales) 17. Aragorn's coronation 16. Faramir and Eowyn in the House of Healing 15. Riddles in the Dark 14. Smaug/Bilbo conversation 13. Azog introducing Bolg in Dol Guldur 12. An Unexpected Party (AUJ) 11. Gandalf coming back to the three hunters 10. Thorin and Thranduil's interaction ("One king to another") 9. Tauriel's "Feast of Starlight" speech (I hate her character but this speech is a great insight into the Woodland Elves) 8. Concerning Hobbits 7. Gandalf and Elrond discussing Thorin's fate just before White Council in AUJ 6. Ride of the Rohirrim 5. Sam carrying Frodo up Mt. Doom 4. Sam's speech at the end of TTT (I did this speech as a monologue for a theatre class once) 3. Eomer finding Eowyn on the Pelennor Fields (breaks my heart every time) 2. Breaking of the Fellowship/Boromir's death And my favorite scene thus far is without a doubt Thorin parting ways with Fili and Kili. I know it is NOT in the books but the first time Thorin mentions in the book that they are his nephews is in Lake-town so it is only fitting that also in Lake-town we find out in the movie they are related. I love Tolkien's theme of family and this scene is heartbreaking and wonderful all at the same time. End of nerdy rant :) Nice post though!
