Silmaril Favorite Parts of Movies

Post your favorite parts of the Lord of the Rings movies here. <P> My favorite part of Fellowship of the Ring was probably when they Fellowship arrived in Lothlorien. My favorite part in The Two Towers was the bettle of Helm's Deep.

I love that part as well. I also like the part when Legolas, Gimli, and Aragorn meet the Rider of Rohan.

My favorite part in TTT was when Frodo and Sam were talking about whether they would be put into stories. And my favorite part in FOTR was when they were at Bilbo's party! I liked the music in that part!!

During that party I was dancing so much! I had high-heels and danced all over the room, my parents thought I was crazy. I ended up falling in a chair.

My other favorite part is in Moria when they're all jumping over the broken part in the bridge. There are like seven or eight orcs shooting at them, and Legolas just kicks their butts. I love the arrow sticking in the stone.

<B>FotR:</B> Passing of the Elves, the drinking song at the Green Dragon, Boromir at the Council of Elrond, the Argonath (such an excellent shot), the shots of the Riders chasing Asforloth (true, I hate Arwen being in it, but the shots themselves <I>are</I> well done). <BR>But the best shot in the movie was: The shot of the Fellowship right after they exit Rivendell. Y'know, the one that starts with Gandalf and slowly moves as to finish at Aragorn. Excellent shot.<P><B>TTT:</B> Frodo and Sam talking about stories, Sam's little speach at the end, that second right after the Theoden exocism(sp?) when he reaches out and grasps his sword (I love the music right then; the two together give me shivers), Aragorn comanding the Elves to 'Charge!' at Helm's Deep.<BR>And the best single shot in this movie was: Gollum! Just all Gollum, all the time. Good stuff. ^_^

My favourite part in The Fellowship has to be when the fellowship reaches Lothlorien. In The Two Towers it's the Battle for Helms Deep. Particularily when Aragorn's friend the elf general is killed. It's just so moving and you see death from an immortals point of view.

FotR: THE GREEN DRAGON ALL THE WAY! That song is just the biggest legend. <BR>The party: Yes, brilliant part. Loving the fireworks!<BR>The part when the Ringwraiths stab the beds at Bree: It's just as if they are screaming 'Hobbits are made of <I>feathers???</I>"<BR>When Boromir is teaching Merry and Pippin sword fighting: It's nice to see Boromir smile. <BR>The Aragonath: I agree, awesome shot.<BR>And finally, Boromir's death: Not a nice scene really, but it made me cry <P>TTT: I can't think of any! My brain just decomposed on the spot. I'm too lazy for my own good. Sorry, I'm in an odd mood today. I think it's the boredom of being home alone on a saturday.

You all have so much to say! Unlike me, I'm the shy type..but I'm getting over it..anyway now tell me who your favorite character is and why. My favorite is Legolas of course. I think Elves are the most amazing creatures of Middle-Earth, not to forget his skill in archery and the looks. I just love those eyes!!

I thought of another one for TTT:<P>The scene when Legolas, Aragorn, and Gimli arrive at the edge of Fangorn. I just love how they have Aragorn sort of narrating the actions while the shots switch from Merry/Pippin-o-vision to Three-Hunters-o-vision. That was deffinatly one of my favorite parts.

FotR: When Gandalf falls into the abyss, or the Fellowhip enter Moria.<P>TTT: When Elrond tells Arwen of her fate on Middle Earth or every single scene at Helms Deep. Especially when the Elves arrive. Made my heart burst with pride, for some odd unknown reason.

Alright, now tell if you think something very important was missing from either of the movies. If you think so, what exactly?<P> I think what was missing was the sad part when Arwen and her father, Elrond, had their little 'sad and upsetting talk.' Arwen had tears when she was talking with her father, and Elves are suppose to be brave and strong, (including female elves.)
