Post your favorite parts of the Lord of the Rings movies here. 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.

Meela · 06-26-2003, 01:39 PM

Fotr: The Midgewater Marshes, and the passing of the wood elves to the Grey Havens.TTT: Osgiliath.

06-26-2003, 01:45 PM

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

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>the passing of the wood elves to the Grey Havens <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>it's truly, deeply beautiful. i like the wiev of the forbidden pool too.

Duncariel · 06-26-2003, 02:41 PM

Welcome to the Downs, Victoriel!My favorited part was when Frodo gets stabbed at Weathertop. Good Times.

06-26-2003, 02:43 PM

Thank you for welcoming me, and yes, that is a good part as well.

Lily · 06-26-2003, 02:57 PM

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!!

06-26-2003, 05:58 PM

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.

Duncariel · 06-27-2003, 06:01 PM

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.

arianrod · 06-27-2003, 08:31 PM

FotR: 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 are well done). 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.TTT: 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. And the best single shot in this movie was: Gollum! Just all Gollum, all the time. Good stuff. ^_^

Horse-Maiden of the Shire · 06-27-2003, 09:29 PM

I'm ashamed of you Deadies! What about the Green Dragon? Now, there was the money shot.

06-27-2003, 10:46 PM

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.

arianrod · 06-27-2003, 11:10 PM

Nobody listens to me... *sad sigh* <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Particularily when Aragorn's friend the elf general is killed.

Hadn't noticed it in that way before. And the elf's name is Haldir. Welcome to the boards, Free_Spirit! Hope you enjoy being dead! ^_^

Meneltarmacil · 06-27-2003, 11:19 PM

I am a servant of the Secret Fire, wielder of the Flame of Arnor. Dark fire will not avail you, Flame of Udun! Go back to the Shadow!YOU SHALL NOT PASS!!!!!!!!!ohhh that scene was SOOOOO cool...

Meneltarmacil · 06-27-2003, 11:27 PM

Oh (sorry, forgot to include this in the last post. in TTT: When Theoden and Aragorn charge the orcs at Helm's Deep and when Gandalf and Eomer ride down the hill and kick the orcs' butts!

Everdawn · 06-28-2003, 12:49 AM

FOTR: The meeting of GaladrielTTT- The whole battle, oh! and, every part with Éowyn.. Mira O. is the best!

Daisy Brambleburr · 06-28-2003, 04:38 AM

FotR: THE GREEN DRAGON ALL THE WAY! That song is just the biggest legend. The party: Yes, brilliant part. Loving the fireworks! The part when the Ringwraiths stab the beds at Bree: It's just as if they are screaming 'Hobbits are made of feathers???" When Boromir is teaching Merry and Pippin sword fighting: It's nice to see Boromir smile. The Aragonath: I agree, awesome shot. And finally, Boromir's death: Not a nice scene really, but it made me cry 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.

06-28-2003, 09:58 AM

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!!

dancing spawn of ungoliant · 06-28-2003, 01:35 PM

maybe legolas, aragorn and frodo...no, it has nothing to do with that they are all soooo handsome seriously, i don't know.the elves are ofcourse interesting, fair and wise but there are something in the hobbits too - pippin is quite cute, i can't wate till RotK when he becomes a warrior!

The Only Real Estel · 06-28-2003, 04:46 PM

FotR: The Mines of Moria TTT: Helm's Deep Favorite character: Borimir ( briliantly acted ), Aragorn ( just like I thought he'd look ), & Gollum ( he looks so great! & sounds great too ).

arianrod · 06-29-2003, 12:39 AM

I thought of another one for TTT: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.

Tinuviel the Nightingale · 06-29-2003, 05:56 AM

FotR: When Gandalf falls into the abyss, or the Fellowhip enter Moria.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.

Everdawn · 06-29-2003, 09:04 PM

Hey speaking of it, does anyone know the words to the song that the hobbits sing when they are in the Green Dragon??

The Only Real Estel · 06-30-2003, 09:05 AM

"...The wind may rain (?) & the rain may pour, but there still are many miles to go. sweet to the sound of...better than rain or sleet (?) or snow, is a mug of beer to save this Took!" So in other words I don't know. [ June 30, 2003: Message edited by: The Only Real Estel ]

Lord Melkor · 06-30-2003, 09:57 AM

Hey! Ho! to the bottle I go To heal my heart and drown my woe. Rain may fall and wind may blow, But there still be many miles to go! Sweet is the sound of the pouring rain and the stream that falls from hill to plain better than rain or rippling brook is a mug of beer inside this Took!

The Only Real Estel · 06-30-2003, 11:54 AM

I was still more or less right. Nah.

Everdawn · 07-01-2003, 01:28 AM

Thanks! my friends and i have been singing it and going ...mmmmm... in the parts we dont know.

The Only Real Estel · 07-01-2003, 07:33 PM

Maybe I should just mmmm all the way through it then...

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>"...The wind may rain (?) & the rain may pour, but there still are many miles to go. sweet to the sound of...better than rain or sleet (?) or snow, is a mug of beer to save this Took!"<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Well, its sounds to me like you made it more lifelike, Estel. I mean, we can't seriously expect hobbits to be able to articulate an entire song from memory after a few glasses of that Green Dragon ale, can we?

The Only Real Estel · 07-06-2003, 12:12 PM

lol. Yeah, oh well, what the heck.

07-06-2003, 05:48 PM

Alright, now tell if you think something very important was missing from either of the movies. If you think so, what exactly? 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.)
