We all know that it is impossible to convey the utter beauty of Middle-Earth, or portray the descriptions that Tolkien writes about, in a mere film. However in an attempt to give Peter Jackson some credit, the question I would ask of you is this:

What scene, for you, in any of the films shows that someone on the staff was reading the book?

For instance: I saw the walls in the caverns beneath Helm's Deep glitter. There are many more, but what was the most important for you personally.
