Favorite Little Things -- TTT

So now we're jaded. We're quite used to seeing Middle-earth and its inhabitants brought to life, thank you! But The Two Towers still rocked our socks off. Here's a few reasons why.

Chapter 1 ~ Prologue: Foundations of Stone

The first of many and it comes at the beginning: the shot of the Mountains at the very beginning. It is so beautiful and reminds me that I am back in ME. -- laitaine
The half frozen lake at the foot of the mountains in the opening scenes - wonderful - so wild and remote. --
How the opening of the movie just blended with the last one, easing you back in. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
New Zealand's mountains and that panoramic shot. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
"Mountains, Gandalf, I want to see mountains..." -- Lorellin
The opening footage of the mountains with the background voice of Gandalf...sort of "reminding" us of what had happened -- Shayanne
That I got to see Frodo say "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" again when Gandalf falls! -- Meri
The opening Gandalf fighting Balrog sequence....jaw dropper! --eowyner
Opening scene with Gandalf and the Balrog - very exciting -- Brydie
The wonderful ringing noise that Glamdring makes as Gandalf snags it from the air in Moria. -- silvericelf
Gandalf fighting with the Balrog while they were falling falling falling. -- Matthew
The opening sequence with Gandalf's fall and the fight with the Balrog...genius! -- Mariel
Gandalf stands on the Balrog's chest even while they both fall and strikes at him again and again. He may have the body of an old man, but in his heart he is a real fighter. -- Nerwen
Gandalf's fall with the Balrog recreated one of John Howe's paintings (I think it was Howe anyway.) -- Idril
I think the long shot of the Balrog and Gandalf falling from the ceiling of the great cavern down toward the water is amazing. The lighting and music are just perfect. It is so beautiful it makes my heart skip a beat. -- Idril

Chapter 2 ~ Taming of Smeagol

Sam is the only one who manages to wear his Lórien-Leaf the wrong way around. -- Nerwen
How in the parts with Frodo and Sam you can always see Mt. Doom in the distance looking all ominous. -- Marrim
“Lembas bread! MORE lembas bread!” -- weaverbird
How Sam tosses the lembas to Frodo. -- Marrim
The wonderful hand-woven fabrics! The Lothlorien cloaks are in a structure called shadow weave. And Frodo's jacket is a point twill. Sam and Frodo's shirts look like hand-woven linen. -- Weaverbird
“Don't hold with foreign food” -- silvericelf
“Nothing ever gets you down does it Sam...” “that rain cloud might!” --eowyner
GOLLUM!! -- eowyner
Gollum!! Everything about him! Perfect!! -- Mariel
Of course Gollum - truly astonishing performance by Andy Serkis and great CGI. -- BAS
Andy Serkis utterly and completely ROCKS! -- Idril
When we first see Gollum we hear his gurgling breathing before we hear him speak -- Lorellin
Gollum was just so pathetic. What a tragic story. -- Amy
Gollum's hands and fingers, especially when he is hugging himself or grasping at Frodo. -- BrownEyes
How Sam nearly gets his butt kicked by Gollum (sorry, hobbit fans) -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Gollum's eyes are the same blue as Frodo's. -- Idril
Gollum's eyes, so much like Frodo's it's creepy -- Brydie
I think Gollums face is based on EW, deformed and then animated to match Andy Serkis expressions. (No wonder the eyes are the same!) -- Celandine
Gollum has a nasty bruise thing on his head, and scars of lashes on his back. Looks so real, and gives such a sense of history of pain and torture. -- Meri
The marks on Gollum's back...:( -- Marrim
Gollum's teeth!! They're gross, and broken and sharp, but they are almost pitifully sweet when he smiles!! Gollum rocks all the way anyway. -- Meri
The writhing Gollum does with the rope on his neck, it's so pathetic and borders on the hilarious, especially when he perks right up and is fine when Frodo brings up the possibility of him being released. -- Meri
That rope! It's very thin and dare I say...silky and smooth? -- Meri
The scars on Gollum's back. Kind of adds even more to his pain. -- Amy
Sméagol's little wisps of hair are really long. It looks cool. -- Idril
My son really feels empathy for Smeagol. I can tell because he corrects me every time I call him Gollum. Way to go Andy! -- Idril

Chapter 3 ~ The Hunt Part 1

How pathetic and lonely Pippin sounds when he cries out for the unconscious Merry. -- Meri
Pippin tearing the leaf broach off and spitting it into the dirt -- Lady Illanir and Friends
How the little brooch that Pippin snatches off and spits gets squashed into the ground, but it's like a damp spongy ground. -- Meri
Opening shot of Aragorn stretched out on the ground listening for footsteps of the Uruk-Hai. -- BrownEyes
Aragorn lying on the ground with his eyes closed listening to a rock. -- Nerwen
This is actually a big thing! New Zealand Landscapes! All of them!! I'm from Switzerland, so I'm familiar with Mountains, but WOW! --Nerwen
The mountains! Through the entire movie the views are stunning. -- Mariel
Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli running after the Hobbits, including how the camera swoops above them and catches the wonderful scenery as well as them. -- BAS
On the Pursuit of the orcs Legolas stumps over a stone and nearly falls. -- Nerwen
Gimli falling down a rock face and he struggles to keep up with Aragorn and Legolas (just prior to comments about dwarves being excellent sprinters) -- silvericelf
Legolas: "The uruks have turned northeast. They are taking the hobbits to Isengard."-I'm sorry, he slips into his lower range there and I MELT -- Lady Illanir and Friends
When A, L, and G first stand and look down on the plains of Rohan - the wonderful music that accompanies the scene. -- BAS

Chapter 4 ~ It begins in Rohan

Christopher Lee as Saruman - his costume, hair, voice. He's just so right in that role. -- BAS
Barad-Dûr. Layer upon Layer. You can really see why it took 600 years to build it. -- Nerwen
They could have beat us over the head more with the environmental message as Sarumon is walking through the caverns, but it would have been hard... -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Eothain and Freda :) -- Marrim
Freda. She just looked so scared and heartbroken when she had to leave her mother. -- Amy
Edoras! -- weaverbird
EOWYN -- eowyner and Youko
EOWYN! There are just no words to describe how cool she is -- Amy
Éowyn never walks, she always rushes somewhere. Really a Shieldmaiden, not a Princess! -- Nerwen
How it is nothing but looks between Éomer and Éowyn when they examine Théodred, and you just know he isn't going to make it. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
The Design on Éomer's armour is the same as on the floor and the pillars of the Golden Hall. -- Nerwen
How Wormtongue kinda slides into the room when we first see him. -- Marrim
Grima's make-up. The shaved off eyebrows are perfect. So creepy, yet you're not sure why. -- Shayanne
How the helmet lands at Théoden's feet on its back first and then drops forward to reveal the white hand. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
How Grima looks utterly attentive to the King in his first scene. He looks like he loves the old man. -- Idril
Théoden's nifty crown, with the decoration on his brow. -- Idril
How Éomer SQUASHES Wormtongue’s cheeks together when he has that horrid realization that Grima was bought by Saruman, and eyeing his sister!! WHOOO you can feel the older brother defense anger seething!! -- Meri
The way Éomer grits his teeth when threatening Grima...oohh he's awesome! -- Meri
Gimli- "Keep breathing, that's the key..." -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Loved Gimli dribbling in his beard -- silvericelf

Chapter 5 ~ The Uruk-Hai

Merry and Pippin - I want to know how Merry got his scar!! (hope it appears in the extended version) -- Lorellin
The fact that Merry has a gash over his eye - that was mentioned above, but I love the _fact_ that this insignificant visual detail from the book was included -- Thran
When Merry goes "I think we may have made a mistake leaving the Shire Pippin" then they both smile it's so great -- pippins the best
The way Pippin smiles after Merry says they might've made a mistake leaving the Shire. -- Marrim
That Merry knows about the Trees talking and stuff! GO MERRY! -- Meri
I liked Snotty-the-orc's runny nose. (That's the one that ended up on the menu.) -- Idril
That horrid little Orc that spits through his teeth about wanting fresh meat outside Fangorn. -- elyndylyn
The cockney(?) accents for the orcs. What a hoot! -- Idril
They included Grishnak! I can't believe they included Grishnak! -- qkbeam
Orc: what about their legs?...they don't need em' Orc 2: just a mouthful? -- hollyannwill
"What about them? They look fresh"(nasally Orc) and "What about their legs? They don't need those. Oh they look tasty". -- FrdLives
Grishnak's facial expression when he asks for the Hobbits legs to eat. He looks just like a little child begging. Even kind of cute. -- Nerwen
One more and I won't annoy you guys anymore: The look Billy has when they talk about eating them and the look Billy has the first time he sees Treebeard, priceless -- pippins the best
The way Pippin and Merry both look down at their legs when it is said that they don't need them. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Merry looks down on his legs as if to check that he actually does need them. -- Nerwen
The look of horror on Merry and Pippin's faces as they are taunted by the Orcs, as possible meals, and the even further disgust when the one guy is served as supper! -- Meri
When the Rohirrim attack the Uruk-hai near Fangorn, there's one archer shooting from horseback. In the dark. I love that image beyond reason. -- Idril
The way you think the scene ends with the horse about to smash Pippin -- Lady Illanir and Friends

Chapter 6 ~ The Riders of Rohan

"Hail Riders of Rohan! What news from the Mark?" -- Entowyn
The way Éomer's troop encircle the Hunters -- weaverbird

Clunking of the spears of the Riders -- silvericelf
ÉOMER -want more -- eowyner
Éomer's helmet -- Weaverbird
Éomer's Helmet. The nosepiece is a very detailed, wonderfully crafted horse head. -- Nerwen
Never mind Eómer's helmet, I like his beard! And why haven't the Wargs been mentioned?! -- peepaboyd
Éomer's exchange with Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas when they first meet. -- BAS
Gimli's “O” face at Éomer -- weaverbird
When Gimli wants Éomer's name first Aragorn gives him the exact same look he gave him in Lothlórien after the insult in Dwarfish. -- Nerwen
"You would die before your stroke fell!" -- pippins the best
Legolas so fast you blink and you miss him-"You would die before your stroke fell." -- Lady Illanir and Friends
The fact an elf is defending a dwarf -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Fact that Gimli and Legolas's friendship is visible at last. Love that dwarf! -- BAS
Legolas springing to Gimli's defence when Éomer threatens him, and Aragorn calming them both down. -- Lorellin
Legolas defending Gimli without hesitation. -- Nerwen
Éomer's steely stares, and the way he doesn't even blink when Legolas has an arrow dangerously poised between his eyes. -- elyndylyn
The way Legolas continues to glare at Éomer. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Éomer saying sorry to Aragorn, Gimli & Legolas about the hobbits. -- elyndylyn
Éomer really is sorry they have lost friends, and he helps them. -- Lady Illanir and Friends

That Éomer whistles, and calls the names of Arod and Hasufel and they come by themselves with no one leading them. -- Meri
Éomer whistling for Arod and Hasufel and them stepping forward at his gesture. -- elyndylyn

Chapter 7 ~ CSI - Middle Earth Division

That the truly grossest scenes in the whole entire movie were the Orc head on the stick, and the Orc guts flying before Merry and Pippin escape. Otherwise, no blood really, except on Aragorn. -- Meri
Legolas' words in Elvish at the pile of Orc bodies. --Marrim
When believing they're dead Legolas says a little prayer for the Hobbits in Sindarin. -- Nerwen
Legolas praying -- Lady Illanir and Friends
When Aragorn kicks the helmet and lets out that cry of despair (so what if it really is a cry of pain because he broke his tow on that take, it WORKS) -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Aragorn screaming in frustration and sorrow when he thinks Merry & Pippin are dead, and kicking the orc helmet, then noticing tracks on the ground ("A hobbit lay here...") and growing excitement as he pieces the story together -- and the way the camera cuts back and forth to show Merry & Pippin fleeing to the forest. (BrownEyes) --
Aragorn's CSI-like walkthrough of Merry and Pippin's escape. -- Marrim
The way Aragorn's tracking is interspersed with what actually happened. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Like how the fingernails of the men are always filthy --silvericelf
Merry and Pippin's bonds are these HUGE fat ropes, and then the rope looks relatively normal when Aragorn finds it...the attention to detail on the whole size relationship between little hobbits and big Orcs and Men is just amazing! GO PJ! -- Meri
The wall of Fangorn - all those twisted trees -- weaverbird

Chapter 8 ~ Treebeard

The way Pippin wails "MERRY!" when he sees him disappear, and it wakes up the Ent! So filled with despair! -- Meri
Pippins reaction to Treebeard -- silvericelf
That Pippin tells Merry to run from the Ent and that the Orc gets squished. -- Meri
Treebeard squishing the orc -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Loved how Treebeard’s feet were...strong, with toes, but sort of wiggly and really good at SQUISHING Orcs. It seems like he's got that little move down to an art. -- Meri
"The tree is talking Merry." "Don't talk to it Merry, don't encourage it." "Whose side are you on?" basically anything said by Billy (or Dom) is my favourite moment. I LOVE BILLY!!! -- pippins the best
The way Treebeard's leaves quivered when he was angry --silvericelf
The way even the smallest branches on Treebeard shake when he is angry. -- Aneya
How Treebeard is just as scary at the beginning and then the hobbits become just as relaxed as they were in the book. -- Meri
The way John Rhys-Davies managed to get his voice so gravelly for Treebeard. -- silvericelf
John 'Gimli' Rhys-Davis's voice as Treebeard. -- BAS
The looks on Pippin's and Merry's faces when they look up at the White Wizard -- Lady Illanir and Friends

Chapter 9 ~ The Passage of the Marshes

Gollum saying "Nice hobbit!" to Sam. -- Weaverbird
Gollum says 'Nice Hobbit' to Sam just like you would say 'Nice Dog' to a Doberman that is tied down just too short to bite you. -- Nerwen
The wide shot of the Dead Marshes that is MASSIVE and the teensy tiny hobbits making their way across with Gollum. -- Meri
Faces in the Dead Marshes -- wargmaster
How the faces in the Dead Marshes are mostly pretty elves -- Meri
The dead marshes! It was so gross and scary when Frodo fell in! -- Amy
Frodo's face-plant in the Marshes! -- weaverbird
The stunned look on Frodo's face as he realizes that it was Gollum who rescued him at the Dead Marshes. -- Mariel
Gollum(Sméagol?) recites a variation of the Barrow-wight's Song from the books. -- Nerwen
The depth and sadness in Gollum's eyes when Frodo first calls him Sméagol. -- Thran
Fell Beasts!! KEWL! -- Meri
"Wraiths on Wings!" -- Amy
The WHOOMP sound of the down stroke of the wings of the fell beasts. -- Weaverbird

Chapter 10 ~ The White Rider

Aragorn- "Gimli! Lower your axe." -- Lady Illanir and Friends
When they are getting ready to face the white wizard, four words: Legolas stroking the arrow -- Lady Illanir and Friends
How Legolas runs his fingers softly through the feathers of the arrow before he fires at the shiny Gandalf. -- Meri
How the voice of the White Wizard starts out as Saruman/Christopher Lee, then blends seamlessly into Gandalf/Ian McKellan. -- BrownEyes
How Gandalf's voice is morphed with Saruman's voice...makes the suspense just a tad bit longer! -- Meri
Legolas drops to his knee and Gimli bows in awe of Gandalf when they realize that he has been "transformed" -- Lorellin
Aragorn's face and Legolas kneeling down and Gimli bowing when they see Gandalf. They all realize instantly what it means that he is back and how he has changed. -- Nerwen
The Balrog (again...just soo well done) -- silvericelf
The way Gandalf holds his sword up and lets it absorb the lightning before striking the Balrog. It's like the boss (Manwe) is giving him a boost. -- Idril
Gandalf's sword blazing like it is in a furnace when he stabs the Balrog -- Lorellin
Gandalf:"...smote his ruin upon the mountain." -- Aneya
How the Balrog at the beginning is just so flaming and daunting, and that when Gandalf finally gets him, his flames go out and he's like a burnt carcass of a spider with a tail or something. -- Meri
Gandalf lying naked -- silvericelf
The line from the book, when Gandalf is reminded of his name. --eowyner and Youko
Gandalf's amused and pleased reaction when reminded of his name. -- Bunnie
I ADORE the sly little expression on Sir Ian's face when he says "Gandalf... yes... that was my name." Who else on earth could have found such a fresh way to play that scene? No one, I say! No one! -- Idril
Gandalf's mischievous smile when he remembers his previous name. -- Nerwen
The first appearance of Shadowfax - galloping in slow motion with his flowing mane; also the music during this scene - breathtaking and very moving. -- FrdLives
Shadowfax! 'Nuf said!! -- Nerwen
I like the tire tracks you can see on the field when Shadowfax first runs up -- silvericelf
Gandalf actually WINKS at Shadowfax! :D Giving credit where credit is due, Aneya actually pointed that out to me the first time, but I think it's very cool. -- Entowyn
The way Legolas and Gimli bow to Shadowfax out of respect. -- Aneya
When Gandalf introduces Shadowfax as the Lord of all horses you can see Legolas and Gimli bow their heads. Up to that point I had never really thought of Shadowfax and Gwahir as 'real' Lords, but I liked the idea! -- Nerwen
There's a burning village in the background as the four companions ride to Edoras. Such detail! -- Idril
When Gandalf meets up with the beautiful Shadowfax (hope we'll see more of both him and the horse in ROTK than we did in TTT). -- BAS

Chapter 11 ~ Treebeard Part 2

How Treebeard has lots of convenient branches for perching hobbits. -- Idril

Chapter 12 ~ The Black Gate is closed

All of Gollum's expressions, especially the subtle ones, like when he cringes at the sight of the Black Gate. -- Idril
I LOVED how PJ envisioned for us how the immense Black Gate would open, with huge Trolls being driven by Orcs pushing the lever around! Very imaginative and plausible too. -- medicrn18
The way Smeagol keeps covering his head with his hands at the Black Gate. He seems more dismayed than Frodo and Sam. -- Idril
The Trolls who open and close the Gate have helmets on but no other armor. I just couldn't help thinking that their heads are probably the part of their body they use least! -- Nerwen
The stuff that the Easterlings say when they're all marching into the Black Gate...it just sounds EVIL. -- Marrim
The very beautiful eyes of those masked "bad guy" army folks headed into the black gate. Nice eyeliner! -- Meri
Elven cloak! -- eowyner
Frodo hurling himself headlong at the Black Gate no less than three times, only to be thwarted by Gollum at each attempt. -- BunnieBugs
The way Smeagol puts his head on Frodo's arm when the Black Gate closes. He expresses so much sadness and relief. -- Idril
How Gollum pets at Frodo's arm when he is at the Black Gate, so desperate to keep him from going, and so very horrified. He's awesome. -- Meri
Slinker has bigger pupils than Stinker, it makes him look more open and honest. -- Idril
Sometimes Gollum spits when he talks. A CGI character that spits? Amazing. -- Idril
Gollums pupils are very small while Sméagol's pupils are big. So whenever he is saying something you can easily see whether he is honest or sneaky at the moment. -- Nerwen

Chapter 13 ~ The King of the Golden Hall

Théodred's death scene. Amazing how emotional you feel about someone whose whole film role consists of dying! -- Éowyner
Éowyn's dresses! -- Aneya
Cage line.....ooooooo -- silvericelf
Grima's seduction attempt. Icky and wonderful -- weaverbird
The look of loneliness, tragedy, and missed opportunity on Éowyn's face when Wormtongue confronts her. -- Éowyner
It seems like Wormtongue almost wins Éowyn over, right before she says "your words are poison." -- Idril
Wormtongue's conversation with Éowyn...is he DROOLING?? --
How Éowyn nearly spits out the word POISON at Wormtongue, like she has some in her mouth by being in the same room as him. -- Meri
I'll repeat. EOWYN. Miranda is awesome and she was done JUST right for me...not too much...not too little -- Entowyn
LOVE the Rohan theme - hardanger fiddle -- weaverbird
The Harpanger Fiddle in the Rohan Theme. They wanted to make Rohan a bit like the Viking culture and came up with this perfect traditional Norwegian instrument. -- Nerwen
The Rohan music with the fiddle it's beautiful, very fitting. -- pippins the best
The theme for Rohan. That Celtic feeling. Love it! -- Amy
Éowyn rushes out onto the terrace of the Golden Hall and there starts striding from left to right really like a caged animal. -- Nerwen
Edoras - beautiful, what else can one have imagined! -- elyndylyn
LOVE the Rohan theme - hardanger fiddle -- weaverbird
The fiddle that sets of the Rohan music -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Edoras, WOW! -- Meri
How Rohan looks exactly like Dartmoor in England, a place I always associate with LOTR. -- Éowyner
Wonderful Celtic type designs on the buildings at Edoras - love the gilded carvings. -- Lorellin
In Edoras horse-heads are included really everywhere on the buildings. On every ridge of a roof , every column there is. -- Nerwen
The way the ragged banner tears off in the wind and flutters down to the gate where Aragorn sees it. To me a symbol of how Rohan is fallen into disrepair. -- silvericelf
How the flag of Rohan falls at Aragorn's feet. -- Idril
The flag flying from the golden hall to the gate of the city in Rohan -- wargmaster
How the Rohan flag rips and then falls at the front gate. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
How all the people of Rohan have blonde hair. Glad they included that! -- Amy
How Éowyn is there, and then she isn't. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Hama! -- silvericelf
At the door Hama says "By order of Grima Wormtongue." I'll bet he doesn't call him Wormtongue inside the hall. -- Idril
The way Hama says his instructions to Gandalf et al as they arrive at Meduseld, as if he really doesn't want to ask them to give up their weapons, he's only saying it because he has to. Even looks like he's rolling his eyes a bit! -- Mariel
When Háma speaks the name of Gríma Wormtongue he hardly disguises his disapproval of him. -- Nerwen
How Legolas twirls his knives before handing them over. -- Marrim
All the clinks and clanks as the Company turns over their numerous weapons. It's an old gag, but a good one. -- Idril
Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli together hand in 2 Bows, 2 quivers, 1 sword, 2 axes and 3 battle knives. And they were traveling light! -- Nerwen
Gandalf's little wink at Aragorn after he convinced Hama to let him keep his staff. -- silvericelf
The look that passes between Aragorn and Gandalf after "You would not deprive an old man of his walking stick." -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Gandalf pretending to lean on Legolas's arm as they enter Meduseld (an "old man", who needs help walking - heh heh heh). -- Weaverbird
That Legolas "helps" the old man Gandalf as they walk into the Golden Hall, he is even suppressing a smile! -- Meri
Gandalf keeping his staff and leaning upon Legolas - yeah right! -- elyndylyn
The 4 Companions marching through the Hall of Meduseld side by side. -- Nerwen
The way Théoden meets Grima's gaze when he says "Stormcrow." And the way Grima praises him. -- Idril
When Wormtongue says "Ill news it ill guest" and then Gandalf's like "keep your forked tongue behind you teeth" -- pippins the best
Legolas' over-shoulder punch without even turning round! Class moment. -- Pharaz
How Legolas takes the one guy out without even turning around. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
How Gandalf walks on without even blinking while Aragorn, Gimli and Legolas bustle around him so overeagerly to protect him and get the obstacles out of his way. At one point you can see Aragorn rushing to reach a guard before Legolas does! -- Nerwen
How the loyal Rohirrim (including Hama and Gamling) won't help Wormtongue's cronies when they try to keep Gandalf away from the King. -- Idril
Exorcism of King Théoden (great acting). -- BAS
Only just saw that: When Gandalf says 'I release you from the spell' Gríma tries to stand up and Gimli sits down on him! -- Nerwen
The embroidery on Gandalf's white ensemble. Such detail! -- silvericelf
The look on Legolas' face when Gandalf reveals himself as Gandalf the White before Théoden/Saruman. -- Nerwen
How Saruman goes flying when he gets "pushed" out of possessing/controlling Théoden. -- Meri's Dad
Saruman's squeaky floor. -- Idril
The first thing Théoden does when he is cured is to smile at Éowyn. She was so ignored during this scene in the books, and resented it. It was just a nice change to have a more thoughtful and loving Théoden. -- Idril
Éowyn's teeth, they're not yucky and not perfect either. -- Meri
The moment Théoden stands for the first time, after being freed by Gandalf. -- Weaverbird
The two horse heads that form the guard of Théoden's sword. -- Idril
Théoden grasping and drawing his sword - the memories and emotions on his face. -- Weaverbird
Gandalf finally found some pants. That's a big relief given all the riding he does. -- Idril
Éowyn is the only woman in the Golden Hall whose hair is not neatly put up. -- Nerwen

Chapter 14 ~ Théoden's Decision

Théoden weeping in front of Théodred's tomb. -- Bunnie
Théoden weeping at his son's grave. -- elyndylyn
Gandalf finally found some pants. That's a big relief given all the riding he does. -- Idril
Gandalf's kicking new boots!! Stylin'! -- silvericelf
"No parent should have to bury their child"...brought tears to my eyes. -- Amy
The burial mounds outside Edoras. One of the most distinctive things in the book, and perfectly replicated here...complete with the flowers. -- Éowyner
I like how the Simbelmyne flowers look, and how it sort of twirls as Théoden drops one on the grave of his son. Nice touch to include that little tidbit. -- Meri
Éowyn's circlet and her hairstyle in the scene after Théoden visits Théodred's tomb. And the way she's in black for mourning her cousin. She's just stunning. -- Idril
The way Éowyn is childlike in one scene and a strong woman in the next, softer in one and cooler in the next. The more I see her, the more I love her portrayal. -- Mariel
How the little girl that got sent with her brother to warn Edoras isn't all passive and terrorized, she snaps "Where's my mother!" in a very aggressive spunky way. -- Meri
How Éowyn is gently tending to the needs of the refugee children who make it to Edoras and speaks for them. -- Mariel
Gandalf puts his hand on Théoden's throne, then Théoden kinda glares and he moves it. -- Amy
Gimli's burp in the Golden Hall, eating and only noting the tense conversation with his eyes. -- Meri
Gimli at the dinner table. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
And the fact that Leggy never eats...standing ever watchful --silvericelf

Chapter 15 ~ The Road to Helm's Deep

Gandalf carries a sword over his shoulder when making for the stables. -- Nerwen
Shadowfax's box in the stables is huge, just appropriate for the Lord of all horses. -- Nerwen
How Aragorn says 'The Defences will hold'. It sounds so humbly and so determined at the same time. -- Nerwen
Gandalf refers to '300 lives of Men'. If the length of a generation is set to 25 years (which is what we do nowadays), then this adds up to 7'500 years, the amount of time passed since the Awakening of Men. -- Nerwen
When Gandalf rides out of the stables at Edoras. -- BAS
Gandalf almost rides over Legolas and Gimli on his way out. -- Nerwen
Every interaction between Aragorn and Éowyn! -- Shayanne
Éowyn’s sword play -- weaverbird
How Éowyn fends off Aragorn in their little sword play. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
The wide-eyed look that Éowyn gives Aragorn as they cross swords. Cool and guarded, but you still see that she NOTICES him. -- Mariel
The look Éowyn gives Aragorn when he sets his knife against her blade. -- Nerwen
The look Éowyn gives Aragorn when he asks, "What do you fear, lady?" At last, someone takes an interest in what she is thinking and feeling! No wonder she falls for him! -- Mariel
Éowyn complains about she fears a cage and not having any valor in live. And Aragorn answers: 'You are a Shieldmaiden of Rohan, I don't think this will be your fate.' This is the sweetest and most assuring thing he could have said and so must nicer than anything he says to her in the book!! -- Nerwen
When the villagers leave Edoras, someone is taking a basket of apples with them. With no trees around Edoras...where did the apples come from? -- Aneya
When Grima is talking about the Rohirrim traveling to Helm's Deep, Saruman's eyebrows go up when he says "children." It's like he's thinking "Children? Mmmm... tasty!" -- Idril

Chapter 16 ~ Ithilien

You can almost feel the milder climate in Ithilien when you see Sam and Frodo without their coats on -- Lorellin
Sam glowering at Gollum-using the Stinker label. -- Celandine
Frodo snapping at Sam for being unkind to Gollum when they were walking through Ithilien -- Lorellin
I love Sméagol's incredibly goofy smile in the fish-chasing scene. -- Idril
It was cool the way they worked the rhythm of the "my own, my precious" phrase into Frodo's "my task, my own" speech. -- Idril

Chapter 17 ~ Smeagol and Gollum

Gollum-vs-Smeagol. Nuff' said. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
The way Smeagol uses his hands when he walks, and the wonderful way he uses them to express his feelings. -- Idril
I love the way Gollum says "trickssy Hobbitsses". -- Entowyn
The way Gollum speaks, with all the extra "ses" on the end of things. Like "Hobbitses, and Orcses", it just makes his character just so much more perfect! -- Meri
Gollum's schizo act -- eowyner and Youko
Gollum - "Nobody likes you" comment. -- elyndylyn
Gollum/Smeagol - and the many feelings evoked from us toward him - disgust, pity, humor, anger, confusion, - you name it! -- FrdLives
Smeagol looking so proud of himself when he says "leave now, and never come back!" -- Shayanne
Gollum's dance -- weaverbird
Sméagol's capering dances. His excitement that his better side has prevailed. -- Idril
The way Gollum prances around when he's being "Smeagol" -- wargmaster
Gollum jumps exactly like a frog when he is happy. He is described as being froglike several times in the books. -- Nerwen

Chapter 18 ~ Of Stewed Rabbit

The look on Frodo's face when Smeagol drops the coneys in his lap. --Bunnie
The scene where Gollum brings rabbits to a sleeping Frodo and the look in Frodo's face when he wakes up.. a weak smile and tears in his eyes maybe some dream of home, he was having while sleeping. -- hobbitlassy
The way Sméagol screams when the Rabbits are stewed. -- Nerwen
'Stupid fat Hobbit!' -- Nerwen
How Sam glares at Gollum when he says "Stupid Fat Hobbit" whilst cooking the conies! LOL! It's the perfect offended/angry look! -- Meri
The way Gollum says 'hobbitses' and how he calls Sam 'the fat hobbit'. That made me giggle. Poor Sam. -- Pharaz
Taters... PO-TA-TOES....(was longing for that line) No idea why it strikes me...just does...very Sam I suppose...Sam is LUVERRLY! --eowyner
I know it was mentioned before but one word three syllables PO-TA-TOES -- pippins the best
Gollum asking, "What's tators?" and Sam's reply "Po-ta-tos!" -- Shayanne
'Boil'em, Mash'em, Stick'em in a Stew' is said in the Comic 'the Hobbit' -- Nerwen
When Sam is reminiscing about 'lovely big golden chips' Gollum is kneeling on the ground covering his ears like a bratty two-year old. Snicker! -- Thran
Gollum's 'we likes it raw and wrrrrrrrrrriggling' -- Pharaz
"Give it to us raw, and wrrrigggllling," and the drool comes out of his mouth. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
'Raw and Wwwwwwwrrrrrrigggeling' - so nice. -- Nerwen
"Keep your nassty tatersss" -- Amy
"Keep your nasssty chips" -- silvericelf and youko
That whole conversation about PO-TA-TOES with Sam and Gollum, and how Sam gives him this funny glare when he says "you're hopeless" LOL, it's like he's just about to chuckle. -- Meri
The bird call sounds the Rangers make when attacking the Oliphaunt bad guys. -- Meri
Frodo's and Sam's faces when they see the Oliphaunt! -- Marrim
The Oliphaunts -- weaverbird
The Oliphants. I loved how big they had made them! And they have 4 tusks! -- Nerwen
The Rangers of Ithilien attacking the oliphants -- JudLenDia
Faramir's stern and resolving look when he says: "Bind their hands!" (he looks great under his hood) -- JudLenDia
The first brief glimpse of Faramir in his hood -- oh, yes! :) -- Mariel

Chapter 19 ~ Of Dwarf Women

Gimli and Aragorn telling Éowyn about dwarf women (it's the beards). -- PSchP
The whole story Gimli tells about the dwarf women and then Aragorn summoning it all up to: 'It's the beards' -- Nerwen
The utter joy, and light on Éowyn's face when she laughs. -- Éowyner
How Éowyn thinks Gimli's story is utterly hilarious. You can tell she doesn't get out much. -- Idril
Éowyn's hearty laugh during the discussion of female dwarves. -- Mariel
Gimli falling of the back of his horse and saying he meant to do it. -- Pharaz, and Youko
"That was deliberate" Gimli falling off the horse. (I know Pharaz said it...but it's good!) -- silvericelf
Snowmane's beautiful headstall. It almost looks like the King's horse also wears a crown. -- Idril
Éowyn lets Gimli ride her horse while she leads it. We can see how she wants to mount it when the Wargs attack and later on we can see it un-ridden when she leads the women and children unto the Hornburg. I just thought maybe she was giving Gimli horse ridding lessons on the way because everyone moved so slowly anyway, this would have been the perfect moment. -- Nerwen

Chapter 20 ~ Evenstar

In Imladris Aragorn is barefooted. This is probably the only place in the world where he feels save enough to do this. -- Nerwen
Three words in the dream sequence: the purple dress -- Lady Illanir and Friends
How Aragorn and Arwen kiss and you just see the love between those two. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
How Arwen encourages Aragorn, even when he is full of self-doubt, she never falters. -- Nerwen
Aragorn's eyes look like he has cried when he talks to Elrond. -- Nerwen
When Aragorn talks to Arwen about ending their love you can see Gimli and Pippin in the Background. -- Nerwen

Chapter 21 ~ The Wargs attack

Wicked fast wargs. -- Idril
The Wargs! They're just great. -- elyndylyn
How Éowyn kind of gives Théoden a little glare when he tells her to lead the people to Helm's Deep instead of fighting. -- Marrim
The green, red and gold embroidery on the neck of Théoden’s tunic -- Lorellin
Legolas' jump onto the horse. Kinda round it's neck and onto it's back.(made me break down in hysterical laughter) -- Pharaz
Four words: Legolas mounting that horse -- Lady Illanir and Friends
absolute best: Legolas flipping onto the back of the horse during Uruk ambush...AWESOME!!! -- hollyannwill
I like the way the audience always goes "oooh" when Legolas leaps onto the horse. -- Idril
Legolas mounting the horse the way he did -- Holly
Legolas' reverse, double-twisting side mount of the galloping horse! -- Mariel
Legolas not only does his incredible horse-mounting stunt, but he also knows without checking when Hasufel will come by. -- Nerwen
Gimli under that growing pile of dead enemies -- weaverbird and Youko
The orc and then the beast thing falling on top of Gimli. -- Pharaz
Gimli: That one counts as mine! -- Idril
Gimli calls the Warg a stinking creature but then the orc leans over it and he realizes THIS is the stinker. -- Nerwen
Théoden is awesome against the warg riders. It's good to see him so young and vital. -- Idril
The way Aragorn almost floated over the cliff. -- Idril
My heart went thunk when Aragorn went over the cliff. Plus I like it that nobody noticed he was missing for a while. -- Idril
Legolas getting mad at the Orc who says that Aragorn is dead. -- Marrim
The warg rider whose mount took Aragorn off the cliff had a horrific injury to his face. But it looks like an old injury, like a huge claw mark from a warg. The freakiest part is that his head is sort of bolted back together with pieces of iron. Imagine, an orc with a medical history! The filmmakers are absolute nuts about all those details that make it feel real. -- Idril
I liked the weird metal bolted stitches or whatever that was on the gurgling Orc that snatched Aragorn's little pendant...and that he had black blood. He was very properly disgusting. -- Meri
"You LIE!" from Legolas when he's told Aragorn fell -- Amy
The look on Legolas' face when Théoden tells his men to leave the dead. Utter grief. -- silvericelf
The pure look of disbelief and grief on Leggy's face when Théoden says to leave the dead -- Amy

Chapter 22 ~ Helm's Deep

The fact that Éowyner help to carry chickens to Helm's Deep in a basket on her back. No airs and graces! -- Éowyner
The statue of Helm Hammerhand before the doors of the keep at Helm's Deep. -- Weaverbird
How you get the shot of that statue of Helm Hammerhand holding his horn as they enter Helm's Deep. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
The statue of Helm Hammerhand. -- Nerwen
The crude repair stonework done by the Rohirrim here and there at Helm's Deep, in stark contrast to the finer, earlier masonry. -- Weaverbird
The men on the wall of Helm's Deep filling barrels with bushels of arrows. (You can see them in the panning shot of Helm's Deep after Éowyn arrives) -- Amy
The addition of the two little kids warning Edoras and how wonderful it was to see them reunited with their mom! -- Meri
How Éowyn asks for Aragorn already scared and suspecting the worst. -- Nerwen
I love the way Gimli looks when he takes his helmet off -- Brydie
Gimli's voice when he says "he fell." -- Idril
How Théoden can't look at his niece when she finds out about Aragorn -- Lady Illanir and Friends
There always seems to be someone very vulnerable in the frame behind Théoden before the battle begins. When he arrives he pauses in front of a woman that's very pregnant. Later when he's talking with Aragorn there's a family with a small child on a wall behind them. They're playing patty cake with the baby. It just keeps reminding me of how responsible he is for his people. -- Idril
There's rats in the culvert. -- Idril
There're rats at Helm's Deep...talk about attention to detail! -- Marrim

Chapter 23 ~ The Hordes of Isengard

It's funny when Grima comes a bit too close to the black powder with the candle. -- Idril
After having learned that the Black powder-like substance works with fire, Gríma approaches with his candle. He is clearly not the sharpest tool in the box! -- Nerwen
The gravel in Grima's voice when he says it would "take thousands". -- elyndylyn
Saruman hardly moves his hands and 10'000 orcs are silent. -- Nerwen
The white hand design on the orcs' banners is v. cool. -- Idril
Wormtongue's single tear! -- weaverbird
Grima's tear as he looks out at the Uruk-Hai army, and thinks...what have I done? -- Éowyner
Grima's tear- probably mentioned before -- wargmaster
Gríma, the twisted little worm even cries a tear at the greatness of Saruman's army. -- Nerwen

Chapter 24 ~ The Breath of Life

That Arwen is near water when she sort of does the saving Aragorn mind meld thingie when he's in the water. -- Meri
How Arwen comes to Aragorn, kisses him...and then Brego appears, nuzzling his face... -- Lady Illanir and Friends

Chapter 25 ~ The Leave Taking

Elrond's wonderful voice. -- BAS
A breeze of air goes through Arwen's hair while Elrond lays out her future. -- Nerwen
How Aragorn in death merges into the statue thing, and the utter grief of Arwen. -- Meri
The part where Elrond was going on about how Arwen was gonna be left alone when Aragorn dies. And the music was just so...*sniffle* It was just very touching -- Amy
The whole scene of foretelling was breath-taking. It had me crying every time I saw it. -- Nerwen
Aragorn with his white beard but still unwrinkled. Even at the age of 210 he looks soo astonishing. -- Nerwen
Elrond speaks of 'before the breaking of the world' referring to the fall of Numenor. So he thinks that Elendil and Isildur already belonged to a diminished kind of Man. -- Nerwen
Arwen wandering through the deserted Lothlorien...straight from the appendices *sob* -- Éowyner
Arwen weeping in Elrond's arms. -- weaverbird
The little teeny flinch Arwen does when the tear begins down her face, and how she is just SO crushed and needs a hug from Daddy! SNIFFLE! -- Meri
Arwen's scene with her Father. I never thought I'd hear anyone cry in elvish. -- Idril
Arwen has these little scenes, and really great costumes in all of them. -- Meri
The curtain/tapestry thing in Arwen's room with the two trees is just lovely. -- Idril
The tapestry of the two Trees with the sun and the moon in Arwens Room. It fits perfectly with the building-style of Imladris and the motif is a wonderful idea. So Arwen is constantly reminded of the grace of Valinor and yet chooses to stay. -- Nerwen
Image of elves leaving with lanterns -- silvericelf
Galadriel repeats her poem from the first movie. I think it wonderful that they did not subtitle it. -- Nerwen
When Galadriel says "the quest will claim his life." It's true, but in an odd way. -- Idril
Frodo's obvious pain and despair throughout the entire film at the daunting task facing him, of which he really doesn't seem to believe will end successfully. -- FrdLives
During Galadriel's mind-speech with Elrond, when the hobbits are shown being lifted into Henneth Annûn, Galadriel's eye is superimposed on the scene next to Frodo and instantly the scene cuts to Sauron's Eye. -- Weaverbird

Chapter 26 ~ The Forbidden Pool

The sound of the waterfall inside the cave at Henneth Annun. -- Weaverbird
How Faramir reminded me of Boromir. -- Meri
It's kinda creepy how Faramir looks so much like Boromir -- Amy
I had so much trouble with the geography of the story the first several times I read it. The maps in my paperbacks were horrible! I like the way the map is used in Henneth Annun to very efficiently get the audience oriented. -- Idril
"His gardener." [And the look Sam has on his face.] -- Thran
Faramir to Sam "Are you his bodyguard?" Sam "No, his gardener!" -- Medicrn
How Faramir was very businesslike in his role as protector of Gondor. Using everything to his advantage to figure out these two strange visitors. -- Meri
How Faramir eyes Frodo, and the unspoken words seem to pass between their eyes. "You lied." about Gollum. -- Meri
Sam's sidelong glance at Frodo when Frodo lies about knowledge of Gollum. -- FrdLives
The Tree and stars on Faramir's costume. -- Idril
The White Tree on Faramir's chest...nice firm chest! -- Meri
Faramir's armour shows the white tree just like Boromir's wrist-guards did. -- Nerwen
Faramir's eyelashes, how they were thin and stood out against his eyelids. -- Meri
Gollum in forbidden pool -- silvericelf
The cave-behind-the-waterfall in Ithilian looked just the way I imagined it from the book! -- BrownEyes
The way the Forbidden Pool is set up so accurately as described in the book, helps me visualize it better. -- Mariel
How the near full Moon rises behind the Window Waterfall spot in Henneth Annun before we see Gollum splashing around. -- Meri
The forbidden Pool is exactly how I had imagined it. -- Nerwen
Gollum's fish song! -- Marrim
Gollum's song at the Forbidden Pool -- Weaverbird?
Gollum's Song! -- Celandine
Gollum's fish song -- wargmaster
Gollum and the fishing song at the Forbidden Pool; what an image! -- Mariel
Gollum sings a part of the Riddle-Song he sings in the Book in the Dead-Marshes and witch is also one of the riddles he had asked Bilbo in 'The Hobbit'. -- Nerwen
Faramir's face when Frodo suddenly asks him not to give the command to kill Gollum. -- elyndylyn
When Frodo is trying to get Smeagol to come to him at the pool, Sméagol's expression is priceless. He just stares and blinks. Andy Serkis is a genius. -- Idril
Smeagol puts the fish in his mouth when he follows Frodo. He looks so cute with it. -- Nerwen
When Gollum is arguing with himself in Faramir's cave, his Stinker side caresses his shoulder, comforting the poor betrayed Slinker. -- Idril
When Gollum is questioned by Faramir he puts his right hand on his shoulder and the other one rubbing his head. Like one of his personalities is trying to physically comfort the other. -- Nerwen
When Gollum is brought in...for questioning by Faramir, separated from Sam and Frodo, that Faramir just watches the scene until a spot arrives he can use for the answers he seeks. -- Meri
I like that Faramir never EVER reaches his hand toward the Ring. -- Idril
The tiny edge of the mithril-coat that just shows when Faramir lifts the ring and chain at Frodo's chest. -- Celandine
The way Faramir says "to show his QUALITY", love the look on his face and the WAY he says it. -- hobbitlassy
I like how Faramir says "to show his quality" and the close up on his teeth even. And most especially the look in his eyes. He seems to be sort of...testing the hobbits somehow, pushing the envelope as far as he can. And then how taken aback he is at Frodo's reaction. -- Meri
The way the Ring seems to reflect in Faramir's eyes -- you see a golden band. Kind of like the "starfields" in Galadriel's eyes. Awesome lighting! -- Shayanne

Chapter 27 ~ The Hornburg

The look on Aragorn's face when he sees the forces of Isengard. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
The shot of Aragorn on Brego as it swings around from Helm's Deep looking at him, around, and then down at Helm's Deep. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Gimli: "Where is he? I'll kill him!" upon Aragorn's return "from the dead." -- Bunnie
When Aragorn isn't wearing his cloak, he just pins it to his shoulder with the brooch. -- Idril
When Gimli hears about Aragorn's arrival he shouts: 'I 'm going to kill him' but then he hugs him and shouts 'Bless you, Laddie'. This so reminded me of the reaction a worried parent would show. -- Nerwen
“You're late” -- silvericelf
"Le abdolin...you look terrible." Nuff' said. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Aragorn getting his sense of humour back and Leggy too - "You're late" -- Brydie
Legolas' reaction to Aragorn's arrival is the absolute opposite. He really doesn't want to show his relief. It is so nice how the difference between the effusive temperament of the dwarfs and the restraint one of the elves is shown. -- Nerwen
Legolas returning the Evenstar to Aragorn upon his return and the look on his face. -- silvericelf
Poor Éowyn! Just when she is so happy about Aragorn's return she is reminded of his love to an other woman. I think that really breaks her heart. -- Nerwen
Aragorn opening the door to the throne-hall. He is so hot!!! -- Nerwen
Aragorn's entrance into the throne room. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
When Aragorn pushes open the doors at Helm's Deep. *sigh* he's so wonderful! -- Shayanne
Aragorn doesn't even bother to bind his arm-wound, he just carries it on while he talks to Théoden. -- Nerwen
When Aragorn says "It is an army bred for a single purpose, to destroy the world of men." -- pippins the best
'Where was Gondor, when the Westfold fell, where was Gondor, when our enemies closed in around us, where was Gone...' -- Nerwen
Théoden doesn't finish this phrase, although we all know what he was going to say. But before blaming Gondor on the death of his son (which so many of us would have done), he stops himself, which I think is really noble. -- Nerwen
The crebain seen circling in the sky at Helm's deep, just before the orc army arrives. -- Celandine
There is a horde of birds flying over the Hornburg. Probably crebain from Dunland again who spy for Saruman. -- Nerwen

Chapter 28 ~ Entmoot

That the really cool big rock in the middle of the Ent Moot looks a heck of a lot like a sundial! -- Meri
The sound the Ents make when they gather for the Ent-moot. All those very deep droning noises! -- Nerwen
How all the Ents had really long thin legs, dunno, just looked really cool. -- Meri
The Willow Ent looks fiercer than the others. I'm sure the Professor would appreciate that! -- Idril
Treebeard has little mushrooms sticking out of his head. -- Nerwen

Chapter 29 ~ Waiting for the Night

Legolas getting angry about how the Rohirrim are "all going to die!" -- Marrim
The whole argument between Aragorn and Legolas. -- Nerwen
When Legolas says: 'You can see the fright in their eyes', everyone falls silent, so he switches to Elvish which probably just manages to frighten the men even more. -- Nerwen
And then Aragorn switches back to Westron and shouts how he will die one of them which just takes the rest of courage out of them. -- Nerwen
(Just as a side mark, there is a nice little thing about this in Swiss movie theaters: They show the Movie in English with German subtitles, and whenever something is said in elvish the English translation appears above the subtitles. And in this scene when Aragorn shouts 'Then I shall die one of them', this is still subtitled in English, really adding to the impression that he switched without wanting to.) -- Nerwen
I like that Gimli calls Legolas laddie now, even though he's a couple of millennia younger than the elf! -- Idril

Chapter 30 ~ Where are the Horse and the Rider

That amazing scene where Gamling helps Théoden on with his armor. The light streams in, and Théoden recites the poem. That one scene is worth the price of a ticket. -- Idril
The way they used light in the scene where Théoden is getting his armor on. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
The poem in the soundtrack. -- eowyner
I love it whenever Théoden starts reciting a poem. -- Idril
The children being armed. Their little scared faces -- eowyner, silvericelf, weaverbird
Théoden reciting the song of the Rohirrim as he dons his armor ("Where is the horse and the rider... The days have gone down in the West..."). Gave me chills! -- BrownEyes
The Rider-Poem with the Soundtrack underlying it! -- Nerwen
Aragorn just sits on he stairs to the Hornburg while everyone else is bustling around. That really must add to the courage of the Rohirrim! -- Nerwen
Aragorn telling young boy that his sword is good: gives boy hope --silvericelf
The fact that the young man Aragorn speaks to before the battle is Hama's son Haleth! -- Celandine :
The young teen talking to Aragorn, he's so trusting, and so untested. And I'm not sure, but I think he said his dad was Hama! SNIFF! -- Meri
The sound Aragorn can make even with an old, rusty, jagged sword. He is such a skilled swordsman, he could probably get that sound out of a wet mushroom!! -- Nerwen
Aragorn arming himself at Helm's Deep. -- Weaverbird
And Aragorn is always covered in dried blood -- silvericelf
Legolas apologizing to Aragorn for losing hope. -- Marrim
Aragorn's grim look of determination when he puts on his battle-gear. -- Nerwen
Plus he has still not even bothered to wash the blood from his hands. So he must have walked around like this all day! -- Nerwen
The way Legolas sticks a pin in his elfin pride...especially when he picks up the sword and holds it for Aragorn -- Lady Illanir and Friends
How Legolas apologizes. It's so restraint and yet so touching. -- Nerwen
Gimli in the chain mail. -- Lady Illanir and Friends

Chapter 31 ~ The Elven Army

How they changed the Lothlorien song to a battle song! I was practically jumping out of my seat! -- Amy
The music for the arrival of the Elves at Helm's deep; a militarized variation of the Elves' usual ethereal theme. -- Mariel
The altered Lothlórien theme! -- Marrim
How the Elves that arrive at Helm's Deep are SO precise and well organized, and that they arrive just after we realize that morale has just about hit rock bottom at Helm's Deep. -- Meri
The look of uncertainty on the face of one of the human warriors as the Elves march into Helm's Deep, and the welcoming look on the face of the another. -- BAS
The looks on the faces of the Rohirrim when the Elves arrive! -- Marrim
The grin on the face of the long-haired Rohan soldier standing back against the wall, as the army of elves marches in front of him. -- BrownEyes
I liked Haldir much better in this movie, he wasn't as much as a shmuck. hehe -- Amy
Splendid Elven armor. -- Weaverbird
Haldir in Golden Armour!!! -- Nerwen
Haldir's face : the hug! -- silvericelf and Youko
Aragorn giving Haldir a big hug, and Haldir's expression. Like he thinks Aragorn is a wee bit touched in the head. -- Idril
How Haldir doesn't quite get the whole touching thing when Aragorn hugs him...at first -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Aragorn just hugs Haldir, who is totally taken aback by this. Elves would never show so much emotions! But then he tries to be nice by patting Aragorn on the back just once. -- Nerwen
Noise of the elven army as they all turned at once --silvericelf
The sound it creates when all the Elves turn their heads to the left as one man and then make one step to face the king. That took my breath away. -- Nerwen
During all the scene Legolas can hardly disguise his pride and joy at the arrival of Haldir. He looks as if he is going to start grinning every second. -- Nerwen
Legolas's look from over Haldir's shoulder, like "Yeah, we elves rock, and we are coming to save your human a -- es!" -- Lady Illanir and Friends

Chapter 32 ~ So it Begins

when Gimli can't see over the wall -- weaverbird and Youko
The way Legolas smiles when Gimli says "You could have picked a better spot." -- Marrim
Legolas gets to smile AND sneer! -- Meri
MASSIVE!! The program that is. -- eowyner
Helm's Deep was the coolest battle I've ever seen! -- Amy
Line of Elf, Elf, Elf, Part of Gimli's Helmet, Legolas, Elf, Elf, ... -- Nerwen
"Well lad, by the luck you live by, let's hope it lasts the night." "Your friends are with you Aragorn." "Let's hope they last the night." -- Lady Illanir and Friends
The look on Legolas' face when a lightening shows the orc army in the dark. -- Nerwen
When it starts raining on Théoden, I just always expect someone to say "Oh GREAT, just what we needed!" -- Idril
The look on Théoden's face when it starts raining. It's really like 'Yeah, like we don't have it hard enough already, why not add some rain?' -- Nerwen
The sound of rain falling on helmets and armour at Helm's Deep. -- Weaverbird
The Rohirrim stand really proud when they're waiting for the orc army. But when they see just how many of them have come, it seems like they slouch in dismay. -- Idril

Chapter 33 ~ The Glittering Caves

Katie and Billy -- weaverbird
Glittering of the glittering caves -- silvericelf
The subtle glimpse of the Glittering Caves as the women and children hide in them. -- Thran

Chapter 34 ~ Isengard Unleashed

Aragorn's speech to the Elves starts with the address 'Oh Children of Eru'. This clearly refers to Elves AND Men, even if the people of Rohan can't understand him, he means them as well. -- Nerwen
After Aragorn has given his motivation speech, the Captain of the Orc-Army lets out a long grunt which feels as if he is giving the exact same motivation speech to the orcs. -- Nerwen
“Would you like me to describe it to you or should I find you a box!”-- silvericelf
"Do you want me to describe the action to you, or shall I find you a box?" Heheh! Then Gimli's laugh. -- Idril
Legolas' smirk when he asks Gimli if he wants him to describe it or get a box! LOL! -- Meri
Legolas-"Shall I describe it to you, or would you like me to find you a box." -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Leggy's sense of humor! -- Bunnie
The sound Aragorn's sword makes when drawn from the sheath. -- Nerwen
Aragorn puts his fierce face on right away, before the first arrow is fired. -- Idril
The man at Helm's Deep firing the first arrow. -- Pharaz
When Théoden says "So it begins" that is just so kick ass -- pippins the best
All the Orcs stop hitting the ground with their spears when the first arrow is shot. -- Nerwen
The grunt the first killed orc makes into the silence when falling forward. -- Nerwen
Aragorn shouting orders in elvish. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Legolas telling the other elves where to hit the uruks. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
During all the battle at Helm's Deep in all the commands he is shouting, Aragorn's voice never even slightly breaks. He sounds soo firm and solid. -- Nerwen
Aragorn announces that Ladders are coming up and Gimli answers: 'Good!!', because this means he finally gets to hit something. -- Nerwen
The Wilhelm-Cry one of the Elfs gave. To see what a William-Cry is check here. -- Nerwen
when Gimli hits the orc in the groin with his axe. -- Freakazoid
How someone finally gets it in the...sensitive area (can you tell we are all girls?) -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Gimli- "Legolas, two already!" Legolas-"I'm on seventeen!" Gimli-"Wha-!? I'll have no pointy eared outscoring me!" (two seconds later) Legolas- "Nineteen!" -- Lady Illanir and Friends

Chapter 35 ~ Long Discussions

The mists that hang over the forests at Fangorn forest. Make it even more...well, mystical! -- Meri
How during the long wait, Pippin has untied his scarf, yet still keeps it on. His little Shire Security Blanket. -- Aneya
Billy Boyd's hairy chest -- qkbeam's not telling
The stars over the entmoot. -- Idril
The clear sky of stars at the Entmoot. -- Mariel
That the sun is up when the Entmoot starts and it's very dark when they finally decide Merry and Pippin aren't little Orcs after all! -- Meri
How Treebeard falls asleep in the middle of talking to Merry and Pippin. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Pippins cheerful 'That's good news' as the Ents agree that he and Merry are not Orcs. Then he looks at Merry and realizes that there is more at stack than that. -- Nerwen
Treebeard's speech about old Entish. It's... so... drawn... out. -- Idril
The slow way Treebeard talks. It's straight from the books and it really manages to strain my nerves every time. Especially when it takes him full 24 seconds to explain that things take time to say in Entish and that the Ents only speak when it's worth it. -- Nerwen

Chapter 36 ~ The Walls are Breached

17-18-19-20… Gimli counting out his kills -- silvericelf and youko
How you can hear Gimli counting on the walls. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
How you hear Gimli yelling "Twenty-one!" and "Twenty-two!" over the noise of battle as the camera pans back away from the wall. -- Mariel
Gimli has his own two ladders from which he hits down every orc coming up. -- Nerwen
I liked the part where the orc was running with the torch. Legolas shot him and he fell forward, then the whole wall exploded. -- Matthew
The orc with the big torch so reminds me of an Olympic torch-bearer. -- Nerwen
When the wall blows up, lots of the stones fall on the orc army. It's so typical that they wouldn't fall back for safety. Who cares if a bunch of orcs get squashed? -- Idril
Théoden's look of disbelief and horror as the wall is breached. Just 20 seconds after he had mocked that Saruman hadn't conjured enough to take Helm's Deep. -- Nerwen
How the Orcs trying to cross the bridge with their shields above their heads look like roaches creeping along...eeww! -- Meri
The movement of the ram up the causeway, rippling the shield roof and tossing orcs off the edges. -- Weaverbird
When the orcs bring the ram up the causeway, it knocks a bunch of the orcs off. I'll bet those guys have trouble getting life insurance. -- Idril
It's so typically Orc-like to push down your own people from the gateway to get the ram to the door faster. -- Nerwen
PJ throwing the spear -- silvericelf
Wondering if PJ picked that particular spot for his Helm's Deep cameo because it wouldn't require him to wear long pants or shoes with his chain mail. (He leans out of an opening over the causeway gate and throws a rock.) -- Idril
The young boy who you see looking terrified and getting a helm put on his head later shows up during the battle gritting his teeth and dropping rocks on the orcs. -- Thran
Gimli's heroic jump! -- Idril
Gimli's leap from the shattered wall into the Deeping Stream. (heroic little maniac!) -- Weaverbird
Gimli sees Aragorn lying on the ground and just jumps into a horde of orcs with their spears up to protect him. But he jumps too far and then has to be rescued by Aragorn. -- Nerwen
Legolas sliding down the stairs on a shield, shooting arrows at the same time. Who needs Tony Hawk when you have Legolas? -- Screamingviolets
Legolas can skateboard! -- Matthew
Legolas surfing the stairs. He shoots 4 arrows while he does so! -- Nerwen
Legolas with his two blades, slashing left and right. -- Meri
The multiple times I was holding my breath during a battle, and then it cut to another scene, like Fangorn, and I sort of went Whewwwwwwww! -- Meri

Chapter 37 ~ The Ent's Decision

How you can see time passing by watching Merry's scar go from hideous and bloody to nearly all the way healed. -- Meri
When Merry goes "How can that be you decision?!" I love the fire in Dom's eyes -- pippins the best
The way Merry's eyes are practically flaming with anger and frustration when he says "How can you say that?" about the Ents refusal to go to war. -- Meri
Merry's plea to the ents. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
The tears that are forming a puddle in Merry's eyes when he says to Treebeard, "You're part of this world, aren't you?" -- Aneya
Merry telling the Ents, "you're a part of this world" -- Shayanne
The abashed look on the faces of the Ents when Merry chides them about not wanting to help the humans. How did PJ and co. manage that? -- BAS
The wonderful expressions that Merry has. He's so determined when trying to roust the Ents, and then SO depressed when he is rejected. -- Meri
How Merry's clothes are nice hobbity clothes, but not so fine that they look store bought. The collar on his little jacket is sort of limp and worn. -- Meri
Merry's speech to Pippin about how "there won't be any more Shire". -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Pip’s rude awakening...no Shire -- eowyner
How Pippin's face goes through a realization when Merry speaks about the Shire burning. And the way Merry finishes his statement quick and desperate. -- Meri
Merry talking of the devastation of the Shire and Pippin being horrified by it. Like he realizes for the first time what this war means. -- Nerwen

Chapter 38 ~ Haldir's Death

The scene where two elves are dragging Gimli away from the fight. He's a nut! -- Idril
Two man have to drag Gimli back from the orcs. -- Nerwen
The light in Haldir's eyes breaking when he dies. Death even in battle comes to the elves as much more of a shock than to men. -- Nerwen
How my sister almost screamed when Haldir got sliced open. It was quite scary (Even if it never happened in the book! grrrr) -- Amy
How Haldir looks at all of the Elves lying dead before dying himself.-- Marrim
The music at Haldir's death scene. -- Marrim
Haldir's death scene, period! *sob* -- Marrim
There is this one amazing shot during Haldir's dying of the bodies of several elves and orcs. The elves look so beautiful even in death. -- Nerwen
Realizing how emotionally involved you really are when you get v. upset when Haldir dies (esp. as he doesn't really appear very much) -- Lorellin
How Aragorn holds Haldir as he dies. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
How Aragorn takes a moment in the middle of the battle to softly rock Haldir in his arms and then ferociously attacks again. -- Nerwen
Gimli to Aragorn, outside the postern of the Hornburg: "We can take em!" Utterly fearless. -- Weaverbird
When Gimli sees the orcs on the gateway is so eager to take them on. Does this dwarf ever see enough enemies to hit? -- Nerwen
"Toss me." -- weaverbird
"Toss me" and "But...uh...don't tell the elf" -- Amy
"Toss me!"..."Don't tell the elf!" Nuff' said. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
'Toss me!' 'Don't tell the elf!' -- Nerwen
The face of Aragorn when Gimli says "Toss me" -- silvericelf
Gimli's "Don't tell the Elf." and Aragorn's very serious "Not a word!" LOL! -- Meri
Aragorn's expression during that whole "toss me" scene. -- Idril
I like that the orc army has such superior technology. That's the way a wizard would fight. -- Idril
That Legolas can pull a dwarf and a man up the side of Helm's Deep with no help! -- Meri
Legolas still shooting arrows as he runs up the causeway for the retreat. -- Mariel
On the way to the Hornburg Aragorn has to pull Legolas who is very reluctant to stop shooting orcs. -- Nerwen
The ever decreasing circles of Helm's Deep defences. -- Éowyner

Chapter 39 ~ Closer to Danger

Pippin got a brain! -- eowyner
Pippin's profound, or perhaps insane comment, "The closer we are to danger, the further we are from harm." -- Meri
Pippin coming up with the idea to get them south to the outskirts of Isengard. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Of course this is totally not in the book but I just liked how Pippin is so sure everything will turn out right if he gets Treebeard to see the Spoiling of Isengard. -- Nerwen

Chapter 40 ~ Last March of the Ents

Treebeard talking about the tickly family of field mice. -- Idril
Treebeard howling in pain and rage when he sees the destruction of his friends. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Treebeard says that he had known the trees from 'Nut and Acorn', just as we would say 'from when they where children'. -- Nerwen
The sky looks so odd in the scene where Treebeard discovers the downed trees. It's hard to tell what time it is. It looks like night, but there's a lot of light peeking underneath the clouds. Very nice! -- Idril
"The last march of the ents" *sniff* -- silvericelf
That Merry gets yanked out of his glum mood when he realizes what Pippin has done, actually rousting the Ents! -- Meri
The music as the Ents were on their way to "Their Doom". It was sad, but also so cool! -- Amy
How the Ents march down to Isengard ('the last march of the Ents', in Treebeard's words). -- BAS

Chapter 41 ~ Osgiliath

Osgiliath is very grey. It's like the life has been sucked out of it completely. -- Idril
How Osgiliath looks like a carcass of a once great city. -- Meri
Frodo's creepy "they're here" -- silvericelf
They're here. woooo goose bumps. -- qkbeam
When Frodo goes deaf, there's a "whump whump" sound effect that sounds like a drum or a heartbeat. But then as the Nazgul comes, you realize it's the sound of the fell beast's wing beats. -- Idril
Sam talking to Frodo but we can't hear what he says just like Frodo is already too much taken by horror and the wish to put on the ring to hear him. -- Nerwen
Faramir crying out "Nazgul!" as the winged Rider sweeps down over Osgiliath. -- BrownEyes
Faramir shouting 'Nazgul' . -- BAS

Chapter 42 ~ Forth Eorlingas

The GREAT segue from Osgiliath to Helm's Deep, these two strong stone buildings...made me blink. -- Meri
Aragorn never eases to fight. Even when all seems lost he still drives everyone on to keep up. They're already using the furniture to barricade the door and he still doesn't give up. -- Nerwen
Théoden: "What can men do against such reckless hate." That line gets me. -- Aneya
How the sun comes streaming in with Gandalf's voice over. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
'Fell deeds Awake! Now for Wrath, now for Ruin and a red Dawn.' -- Nerwen
Théoden's armor -- Weaverbird
'This is the hour when we draw swords together. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and a red dawn!' Or words to that effect. -- BAS
Gimli blowing the Horn -- weaverbird
The Horn of Helm Hammerhand! -- Nerwen
The Helmet of Théoden is crafted even more carefully than Éomer's. -- Nerwen
The Rohirrim keep their horses in the innermost part of their stronghold. Seems just right for the horse-lords. -- Nerwen
When Aragorn charges down the gateway he cries 'Elendil' just like he did at Amon Hen. -- Nerwen

Chapter 43 ~ To the King

How Éomer appears behind Gandalf, and then all his men appear behind him. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Éomer commanding his men "to the King". -- elyndylyn
Where Éomer at Helm's Deep calls, "Rohirrim! To the King!" Gets me every time! -- Mariel
The ride of the Rohirrim and Gandalf at Helm's Deep! This was one of two scenes that brought tears to my eyes. -- Mariel
Gandalf standing on the mountain-top. I cheered at that. And then when he and Éomer and the Riders charge down, I cheered even more. -- Nerwen
Shadowfax's ears-back face, when they ride out at the end. Stud being crowded and cranky -- weaverbird
The sun rising to blind the Uruks just as Gandalf, Éomer and the Riders crash into them. -- Weaverbird
The moment when Gandalf, Éomer and army ride down to help the defenders of Helm's Deep in the nick of time; how the light of the Dawn lights up the Uruks and makes them cringe; the way Shadowfax looks when he leads the charge; how a couple of the horses leap over the Uruks (all brilliant). -- BAS
How the sun blinds the uruks at just the right moment.. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
The way the Uruk-hai are stunned by the light of Gandalf as he and the Rohirrim cascade down the hill toward them. -- Mariel
When breaching the spears of the orcs it seems for a moment as is Gandalf and Shadowfax cease to be concrete. First I thought this a bit odd, but then I remembered how in the book ridding Shadowfax once was described (by Pippin) as if they were standing still and the world moved beneath them. So there is more than meets the eye to this horse. -- Nerwen
Gandalf's smile as he is battling the Uruks at Helm's Deep. -- silvericelf

Chapter 44 ~ The Floating of Isengard

I like the short Ent that jumps off the wall around Isengard and right onto some orcs. -- Idril
One of the Ents holds an orcs as a club and hits the other orcs with it -- Nerwen
Merry and Pippin throwing rocks at the orcs. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
Treebeard: A fine hit! -- Idril
One of the Ents has a big belly. Cute! -- Idril
Saruman looks so unhappy that the Ents are destroying his lovely machines and orc pits. Poor thing. -- Idril
the flood at Isengard -- weaverbird
The way the clouds over Isengard break up as the Ents attack. -- Idril
The Ents are just not at all bothered by the flood. They dig in their toe/roots and stand firm. -- Idril
How the Ents brace themselves and sway in unison when Isengard is flooded. -- BAS
The ent that dunks its flaming head in the oncoming water from the broken dam. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
The ent putting his fire out in the flood! -- silvericelf and Youko
The Ent that is on fire that uses the flood waters to put himself out!! -- Aneya
The ent clanking two orc heads together. -- silvericelf
Ents tearing down wall and throwing it -- weaverbird
Hobbits throwing stones...a theme... -- eowyner and Youko
Ents throwing boulders at Orthanc with no effect --silvericelf
When the water covers Isengard it turns black and dirty from washing all the horrible things away. -- Nerwen

Chapter 45 ~ The Fell Beast

In Osgiliath it seems as if the only color left is the red in the sky over Mordor. -- Nerwen
Nazgul beast's wings flapping (should have made quite a draft you'd think). -- elyndylyn
I loved the sound the winged creature makes when approaching Frodo. In the movie theatre you could actually feel every flap the wings made. -- Nerwen
The Nazgul causes everyone to cower, except the valiant Faramir and Sam. -- Idril
That I realized this time that Frodo was NOT offering the ring to the Nazgul, just giving in to the 'calling'! -- Meri
Frodo falling more and more under the spell of the Ring. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
The claws of the Fell Beasts. Very big and perfect for snatching up little hobbits -- Amy
Faramir finally doing something right and taking out the fell beast. -- Lady Illanir and Friends
The chill of horror I felt when Frodo comes a hair's breadth from slitting Sam's throat. -- Éowyner
Smeagol looks really miserable with his hands tied behind him. -- Idril
The look on Frodo's face when he holds Sting to Sam's throat, then again when he comes back to himself. -- Celandine
Frodo: I can't do this!*sob* -- Celandine

Chapter 46 ~ Samwise Speaks

Sam's speech at the end! -- Amy
I know it's been mentioned already - Sam's speech. --
The tears in Sam's eyes during his speech. -- Amy
Sam "By all rights we shouldn't even be here!" ;D -- Entowyn
Sam's speech at the end, where he declares that there is something worth fighting for, fighting for good in the world. -- Meri's Mom
Sam's speech it makes me cry every time "... and the sun will shine that much clearer..." -- pippins the best
The music during Sam's speech there's just that hint of hope, on the soundtrack it's called Samwise the Brave -- pippins the best
Smeagol seems so moved by Sam's speech. I guess he didn't think "the fat hobbit" had that much heart. -- Idril
A person would have to made of stone not to be moved by Sam's speech. -- FrdLives
Sam's speech at Osgiliath. Maybe a bit corny, but he is RIGHT. -- Mariel

Chapter 47 ~ A New Dawn

The Orc-Blood on Aragorn's sword is clearly black, as can be seen in daylight. Orcs do have black blood. -- Nerwen
Éowyn's greeting of Aragorn (calm down Arwen fans, we all know who ends up with who.) -- Lady Illanir and Friends

Chapter 48 ~ The Choices of Captain Faramir

The look on Faramir's face as he listens to Sam's speech at Osgiliath and then approaches Frodo; he looks very moved, an expression full of empathy and understanding (there's my Faramir!) -- Mariel
"I think, at last, we understand each other, Frodo Baggins." -- Lady Illanir and Friends
"You know the laws of our land, the laws of your father. If you let them go then your life is forfeit." The way you see Faramir making the decision and "Then it is forfeit". -- Lady Illanir and Friends
The look on Faramir's face when he finally takes his stand and says, "Then it is forfeit!" -- Mariel
When Faramir sets the hobbits free, Sam gives this annoyed shrug to get the guard's hand off of his shoulder. -- Idril

Chapter 49 ~ Samwise the Brave

The conversation between Sam and Frodo near the end, about kids wanting to hear their story...just SO adorable!! Made me see a little of the Frodo and Sam from the Shire! -- Meri
When Sam’s like "Do you think we'll ever be put into songs or stories? Tell me about Frodo and the ring. Yes that's one of my favorites. Frodo was sure brave wasn't he dad. Yes m'boy (that's my fav part) the most famousest of hobbits." It's so sweet, I adore Sam he's just so lovable -- pippins the best
"I wonder if we'll ever be put into songs or tales?" -- Marrim
"I want to hear more about Sam. Frodo wouldn't have gotten far without Sam." -- Amy
Frodo's smile at the end, the first one you've seen from him in a long while. -- Thran
The way Sam says to himself 'Samwise the Brave'. So nice, so touching. -- Nerwen
"The fat hobbit knows! He's always watching!" Snicker. -- Idril
Gollum-vs-Smeagol pt. 2- "We could let HER do it..." -- Lady Illanir and Friends
The ending shot.. -- Lady Illanir and Friends

Chapter 50 ~ Credits

The soundtrack is absolutely and through and through wonderful. I added so much to the film. Especially how the different themes are repeated and woven together. Howard Shore has my eternal respect for the music he created here. -- Nerwen
My kudos also to the Sound-department and the Sound-editing-department. Those guys are forgotten so often when it comes to the praise of a movie and they did an outstanding job here! -- Nerwen
Sitting and hearing everyone laugh in the movie, and knowing that after all this time they finally got a clue as to how cool Middle-earth really is. -- Idril
I remember going into the movie thinking "This will be great, but undoubtedly a very doom and gloom sort of atmosphere" and I came out excited and split at the seams- not excessively humorous and some things that I laughed at probably weren't meant to be such side splitters (such as the ent dousing his head in the flood) but it was just enough humour to make you want to keep coming back knowing that your heart wouldn't be too burdened to go on- it was emotional and captivating but to all emotions, not just one. -- LeggoraLemoreuxl
My mom actually liked it! -- Amy
Gollum's Song. Enigmatic, weird vocals, but I find it works for me. -- Éowyner
Least favorite thing: Not enough Gandalf! -- Idril
The way the movie has brought us all here to share our favourite things! -- silvericelf
The fact that I can write my fav moments down for no reason. -- pippins the best
THE MUSIC! I loved the music throughout the whole movie. Had to buy the soundtrack the next day. -- Amy
Hobbits of steel -- eowyner
