The number one scene, imo, is when the king said to the Hobbits, "My friends, you bow to no one", then he, his bride and the entire gathering knelt down. Unbelievably powerful and touching scene.
🎉❤❤️YOU DO NOT HAVE TO FEAR DEATH IF YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST, AND TRUST IN HIM WITH ALL YOUR HEART, BECAUSE HE ATONED FOR YOU FOR ALL YOUR INSULTS, THAT YOU WOULD OBTAIN PEACE WITH ALMIGHTY GOD, AND GO TO HEAVEN BY HIS GRACE!
You can tell just how much heart and effort was put into this trilogy. We will never be able to see a trilogy be as amazing as this ever again! “We had no interest in putting our messages into this movie. But we thought we should honor Tolkien by putting his message into It” -Peter Jackson, 2002 Edit 2024: this is still the greatest movie trilogy :)
Only goes to show how everybody took their effort to get emotionally attached to the project and everbody was invested in learning more and make it better. Many of the cast members read the books

My favorite is when the Elven archers snap to attention when Legolas appears, before the battle of Helm’s Deep. I always find it incredibly moving, and we kind of forget what a big shot he is in the Elven world. That moment is a great reminder.
wraith runner I don’t watch tons of movies, because most of them are just manipulative. As a result, I tend to watch more documentaries. Of the movies I do watch, there’s probably something in one out of every four or five that I find genuinely moving.
The arrival of the Rohirrim at Pelennor Fields is without a doubt my top favorite scene in the trilogy. (Hell, the entire battle sequence was amazing!) The battle at Amon Hen (where Boromir died saving the Hobbits), Mount Doom (Sam's "I cannot carry it for you but I can carry you!"), the Bridge of Khazad-Dum ("You shall not pass!") and Bilbo's birthday speech are among my other top favorite scenes.
In the book, when Eomer believes both his uncle and sister dead on the field, he gathers up his remaining Riders and they chant/scream 'Death' as they rampage the enemy lines. It's also VERY moving soon after when Eomer learns that Eowyn yet lives and gets to the Houses Of Healing with Aragorn to tend to both she and Merry. Great stuff! Cheers! I liked all of your scenes as well.
Don’t forget the white rider when Gandalf pushes back the nazgul, when Gandalf cleanses Theoden king of saruman, when Arwen draws the nazgul to the river bruinen, when the eagles arrive and then the last March of the ents. To be fair these movies shall never be surpassed until the end of days. How this occurred because for once they didn’t stray too far from the literary work.
I like how if there is any large inconvenience, Aragorn just yells for Legolas and the situation is considered taken care of. I need a Legolas in my life
Interesting point to note, as much of a badass, empowering woman as she is and as much of an amazing feminist moment as this is, when you read the books, it's not so much. The prophesy was that no man could kill him, meaning no one from the race of men. the reason that he died was to do with merry stabbing him, which wasn't touched on enough in the films. Merry had a barrow dagger which was an elven blade imbued with magic. when Merry stabbed him, it hurt him deeply but it devered the nazguls connection to Sauron, essentially breaking the semi imortality that he had. From the moment that Merry stabbed him, he was no longer able to regenerate his form (for example, the way that they all did after Aragorn beat them on weathertop) so when she stabbed him, he was mortal and died. An interesting argument has been made in regards to the fact that Merry stabbing him was what killed him, which would also mean that he wasn't beaten by the race of men. I love the route they went for in the film though. creating this hugely empowering, natural feeling female moment. and they did it 20 years before it was normal to do. they did it 100x better than the Avengers films and made it such a powerful moment, regardless of how the books originally wrote it
For me ..the first look at the great halls of moria was breathtaking. The scene had so much history in that 4-5seconds. That scene had something strange and mystic about it.
I personally enjoyed the battle of Helms Deep more than the final battle in Return of the King. Gandalf showing up alone, Rohan appearing behind him, the streak of bright sun, the music----GOOSEBUMPSSSSS!
Watching this to sooth my troubled soul after watching rings of power. We should be eternally grateful to Peter jackson for trusting in tolkiens story and focusing on his strength, the filmmaking
Lots of great scenes, but one of my favorites is Aragon at the black gates, when he’s momentarily transfixed by Sauron, then turns around and says, for Frodo. That look on Aragorn’s face, can’t even put into words. Gives me chills every time.
Was definitely an all or nothing moment. That's what made it so significant and charging in first, alone, leading his army like a truly fearless warrior. Putting his King status aside.
Some scenes that could have been easily included. Balrog vs Gandalf, Rohan death charge in Penelors Fields, Gandalf calling Shadowfax for the first time, Rohan charge out of Helms deep, Boromir's final stand and interaction with Aragorn, destruction of Sauron and the One ring, Faramirs last charge with Pippin singing, Lighting of the beacons in Minas Tirith
One of my favourite scenes (though very simple) is when Gandalf's horse Shadowfax appears when he whistles. Simple, but so beautiful. I loved the liberty taken by Peter Jackson in having Shadowfax as a white horse. With a name like Shadowfax, you would think that was a black horse.
I've just always been slightly confused at the fact that Gandalf so casually rides the lord of all horses into battle. Like, he leads a charge into a pike wall of orcs at least 3 separate times. Is Shadowfax aligned with the fellowship? Or is his loyalty specifically to Gandalf? It was said in the books he wasn't Gandalf's horse, but rather a friend who came in times of need
If I had to pick the top 5 scenes from the trilogy, they'd be: 5. the battle sequence in the prologue of the extended edition. 4. Lighting of the signal fires. It's a short sequence, but the music and cinematography are epic. 3. The Last March of the Ents and their attack on Isengard. 2. The siege of Minas Tirith, when the trebuchets started swinging and then the Nazghul came flying in. 1. The charge of the Rohirim on Pellanor Field. This has to be the most epic scene in the entire franchise. Honorable mentions: The eagles are coming! Who didn't get a chill down their spine when that happened? The worg attack on the way to Helm's Deep, specifically that acrobatic scene of Legolas' as he swings onto that horse. The ending of the Battle of Helm's Deep, with Theodan riding out with Aragorn, and Gimli blowing that big horn. Orc attack on Osgiliath Retreat from Osgiliath (when Gandalf rode out and saved them from the Nazghul).
Unfortunately, in the last section, the release of the dead is omitted. This is what is the most important thing about that scene, when Aragorn states their oath as fulfilled... Another possible scene would be the march of the Ents to Isengard...
Gandalf driving back the Nine on the fields on Gondor before they can kill Faramir. The shaft of white light flashed from his staff into the sky, is depicted actually as the book describes. Easily my favorite scene.
That’s why my favorite movies are Lord of the Rings until now still amazing. I love the scene when the soul of the dead comes out to help them ❤️💕❤️🌺🌹🌷
Not sure if other people think this too but it is wild the difference the music in this trilogy makes. I'd argue that it is the music that makes most of this trilogy as the scenes have so much more impact with the insane score by Howard Shore. An amazing composer.
Now that I know more about the expanded lore of middle earth. I can appreciate it much more how amazing it is that Aragon was about to fight off 5 ring wraiths by himself.
0:24, the Nazgul hold they sword with both hands, just like Aragon usually did, perhaps it's the way of the king blood. Nazgul also was the 9 Kings of men once before.
4:13 This scene is so old and up to this day there was nothing better. It will be perfect for another 50 years. We have War from End game but it is compleatly different thing
There is one scene where Saruman has the wargs sent after Rohan as they flee to Helm's Deep in Twin Towers. Legolas is shooting down wargs and their riders with his bow and arrow as Theoden and his men ride up behind him. He looks over his shoulder, sees Gimli on their horse, grabs hold of the reins and swings himself around the chest of the horse and into the saddle. An amazing piece of CGI. I get chills no matter how many times I watch it.
Personally, when the Balrog jumps out of the depths of the mine or moria and roars, was pretty cool. The roar sounded more like a large furnace which was apropos.
These movies are so... special.. even without special effects such as in Harry Potter (no offense tho, I’m a huge Potterhead) they managed to create something magical. And I’m not even talking about my huge crush on legolas- I MEAN-
I noticed all of these scenes are basically battle scenes, and they are outstanding. But there are some extraordinary "philosophical" scenes that should have been included. For example: Gandalf's homily, for lack of a better word, in the Mines of Moria. GANDOLF: "Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death and some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be to eager to deal out death in judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends.... FRODO: "I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened." GANDOLF: "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in the world, Frodo, besides the will of evil...." Our when Sam follows Frodo, as Frodo tries to sneak away and cross the River Anduin. And when Gandalf speaks to Pippin about what comes after death. That was in the middle of the Battle of Pellinor Fields. I find these movies incredibly spiritual.
@@pinkfloydhomer I just saw your comment. Sometimes I go back and read things that people had in response to my comment. I can see your comment as being humorous if that is where you are coming from. But I have a distinct feeling that is not your sentiment. People who correct spelling and English on the internet (or in real life for that matter) are in my opinion petty. They think too much of their own intellect, which in many cases proves they are neither intelligent nor sensitive to others. This makes them even less intelligent, as it is evidence of their lack of emotional intelligence. Gandolf is of course a misspelling of a character in Lord of the Rings. If you are unable to figure that out, you probably need some sort of remedial teaching. Your apparent need to be fastidious is asinine.
@@eowyn333womanwarrior7 you should take yourself less seriously and learn to take some humour. There is something funny about a person being so into a universe and a character that they post quotes from it, but misspell this very important and legendary character's name. My purpose was not to make you feel bad, everything is not about you. I hope you have a great day.
@@pinkfloydhomer Should I take myself less seriously? I will say you also take yourself too seriously. Is your silly observation that I misspelled a name important? Actually, no. But apparently, you feel you are so clever you must let the whole world know. You had to tell them that your ability to make a glib remark is much more critical than an observation that another person thought they could share without editing. If I wanted an editor, I would hire one. If your finesse with empty comments is so important (and they must be important), your superficial remark indeed usurped what I had to say. Perhaps it is because you take yourself so seriously; the world has to know you can spell Gandalf correctly - not this idiot who thinks anything serious does not belong here; and besides, she doesn't know how to spell Gandalf. She should be just as superficial as myself. The person that thought there were more critical moments in the film, observing that violence is overrated, should instead make a more inferior remark like mine. I believe that you are supercilious with your "casual" putdown because putdown is what it was. Okay. HaHaHa...your funny and I'm not.
Glaringly obvious 😂😂 the hobbit was far longer than it needed to be, the Kili and Tauriel love story was pointless and it relied far too much on CGI which made it seem lazy. Just my opinion I’m not arguing with you 😂
I love these movies but that is the most hollywood kind of scene and least faithful kind of scene to the books. Just silly action for general moviegoers and kids. Luckily thats about as silly as it ever gets... unlike The Hobbit which is ruined by that sort of thing, among many other problems.
Howard Shores score is the magic that makes all of these scenes so good. Everytime I watch I'm shocked at how the music truly brings all the incredible elements of this film together. Quite possibly the best move score ever composed.
The amazing amount of detail they put into the props and characters it literally looked and fell like you were watching a real story unfold. The costumes didn't look made up, or over manufactured like they do today, the CGI wasn't over saturated. This trilogy was just pure perfection.
[On Pelennor Fields, the Rohirrim are routing the orcs.] Éomer: "Drive them back to the river!" Théoden: "Make safe this city!" [As the Rohirrim drive away the Orcs, giant war Oliphaunts (Mûmakil) come into view.] [Haradrim, mounted on the Mûmakil, blow horns.] [The Mûmakil run past the retreating Orcs.] [The King of Rohan does not hesitate.] Théoden: "Reform the line! Reform the line! Sound the charge! Take them head-on! Charge!!!!" [Gamling blows his horn.]
My favorite scene is when the ents first attack saruman's tower. the music flows perfectly and is a great transition from after gandalf charges with eomer at the uruk hai
Awesome video! This is a very good list that I really enjoyed watching! I agree with it, there's only one scene which I really like in the movies that wasn't on this video and it's that scene in The Fellowship of the Ring when the Fellowship fights Saruman's uruk-hai. I think that scene is very well done! But this is a great list and it just shows the quality that The Lord Of The Rings' films have! Keep going with the amazing videos!
AMAZING. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Legolas is so cool he just surfs down the stairs on a shield *chef kiss*. And how Legolas fights the oliphaunt... *another chef kiss*.
to stop 4 nazguls together when you are only one against them.....it can only Isildurs heir....I am sure that there wasnt many other men at that time in Middle Earth who could do this
I love LOTR but Return of the King is my favourite. Imo it’s a cinematic masterclass, there’s a reason it got like 32 nominations at the Oscars and won 12-13 awards (joint highest wins). The run time doesn’t bother me, I’ve even watched the 4hr extended edition which made it even better 👌👌
Gimili is a comic relief character that actually contributes to the success of his party to the point where without him the others would have a more difficult time
This shit was everything as a 13 year old at the time. Honestly there has not been a series to date that I have been into more than lotr. Just a badass movie.
clearly you like the big battle scenes. My favorite would be the council of Elrond where the flames appear in the reflection of the ring. It captures so well the distrust between the races.
Check out the amazing LOTR MERCHANDISE in the Description
The music in these movies is brilliant. So many scenes are elevated because of it
That is so true
Even the writer said that it was the second half of the movie , the music!!!
Btw did u see them reunite on a video. The lotr cast. It was awesome.
I think you mean all of them
Zimmer has entered the chat.
The number one scene, imo, is when the king said to the Hobbits, "My friends, you bow to no one", then he, his bride and the entire gathering knelt down. Unbelievably powerful and touching scene.
Don't forget when Gandalf said you shall not pass I can't remember flame monster name. Just remembering saying it alot when I was younger lol
I still think the scene "The Ride of the Rohirrim" is one of the best scenes in the entire trilogy.
@@damianemiller9975the monster was a Balrog
Which movie was this in?

that is a great scene haha
DEEEEAAAAAATH!!!!
Aragorn fighting orc
Gandalf : on your left
Still the best charge in they history of movies.
Still get the chills
You can tell just how much heart and effort was put into this trilogy. We will never be able to see a trilogy be as amazing as this ever again!

Top 5 Cool Scenes In Lord Of The Rings
Part 1/1000
Lmao
Yes you are totally right!
Soo true
description says: "just watch the entire trilogy"

My favorite is when the Elven archers snap to attention when Legolas appears, before the battle of Helm’s Deep. I always find it incredibly moving, and we kind of forget what a big shot he is in the Elven world. That moment is a great reminder.
Exactly how often do you watch a movie that actually moves you?
Well considering who Legolas’ father is , he’s a big shot , even Haldir doesn’t hesitate to give control to him
Ikr 🥺
wraith runner I don’t watch tons of movies, because most of them are just manipulative. As a result, I tend to watch more documentaries. Of the movies I do watch, there’s probably something in one out of every four or five that I find genuinely moving.
Yes, Legolas was not just an elf. Him being sent to the Fellowship showed his status, I love all his scenes .... they're so cool!!!
No other film has ever made me feel so many emotions like the LOTR trilogies. Jackson and his crew did the source material justice.
I Know That Is Why They Are My Favorite Films of All Time.
Sus😊
Better off putting all 3 movies into this video
hahaha so true
No!
Gotta love how Eowyn's line can be both taken as epic and as a dad joke
Lol
I'm no man great
cool right
I guess it's that time again to binge all three movies, extended editions.
lowkey wanting to do that right now
Is it ever not that time?😆
I assume you only just finished them, how were they 😂🤣
The arrival of the Rohirrim at Pelennor Fields is without a doubt my top favorite scene in the trilogy. (Hell, the entire battle sequence was amazing!)

Same whenever I think of lord of the rings I always think of this and the naziegal scenes from fellowship
I like how if there is any large inconvenience, Aragorn just yells for Legolas and the situation is considered taken care of. I need a Legolas in my life
You have a Sam, Frodo. Is that not good enough?
Me too! I wish if I could summon him on Earth somehow..😌
I love that Aragorn has every confidence in his elf friend that he can take out the oliphant thing. Wonderful teamwork between them all.
“No man can kill me”
“I am no man”
wow sis that IS epic 😭😭
That was badass.
Got him on a technicality

Scenes for feminists lolz

that is a great scene
Agreed
There are so many great scenes that it's impossible to choose just five
I was waiting for the speech at the black gate. From King Aragorn
Forgot how many incredible scenes were in Return of the King
I personally enjoyed the battle of Helms Deep more than the final battle in Return of the King. Gandalf showing up alone, Rohan appearing behind him, the streak of bright sun, the music----GOOSEBUMPSSSSS!
Totally. Also the feeling of hopelessness, they are about to fall when they arrived at the very last minute
Favorite line in the entire set of movies:
“That still only counts as one!” -Gimli
Whole trilogy is a masterpiece
At the end, when the whole court kneels b4 hobits (;
that gives me goosebumps
Watching this to sooth my troubled soul after watching rings of power. We should be eternally grateful to Peter jackson for trusting in tolkiens story and focusing on his strength, the filmmaking
Top cool scenes in TLOTR: the entire trilogy
Top 3 cool scenes from LOTR
All Scenes from FOTR, All scenes from TTT, All scenes from ROTK.
In short, LOTR is 💯
Lots of great scenes, but one of my favorites is Aragon at the black gates, when he’s momentarily transfixed by Sauron, then turns around and says, for Frodo. That look on Aragorn’s face, can’t even put into words. Gives me chills every time.
Yeah me too. This scene speaks 10,000 silent words. It captures my heart, imagination and makes me anxious for victory.
Was definitely an all or nothing moment. That's what made it so significant and charging in first, alone, leading his army like a truly fearless warrior. Putting his King status aside.
Some scenes that could have been easily included. Balrog vs Gandalf, Rohan death charge in Penelors Fields, Gandalf calling Shadowfax for the first time, Rohan charge out of Helms deep, Boromir's final stand and interaction with Aragorn, destruction of Sauron and the One ring, Faramirs last charge with Pippin singing, Lighting of the beacons in Minas Tirith

Boromirs last stand?
Aragorn vs Lurtz?
Gandalf vs Balrog?
“They have a cave troll”?
“You shall Not pass”?
Well... To be honest, you can't narrow it down to 5, or 10, you just can't narrow it down
There’s too many to count, let’s be honest. Ahhh I love these movies.
better put the whole trilogy in there!!!
“One does not simply go into Mordor”
Charge of the rohirim at minas tirith
I’ve seen these movies at least 3 times a year over the past 18 years. And every time still feels exactly the same as the first one.
If I had to pick the top 5 scenes from the trilogy, they'd be:
5. the battle sequence in the prologue of the extended edition.
4. Lighting of the signal fires. It's a short sequence, but the music and cinematography are epic.
3. The Last March of the Ents and their attack on Isengard.
2. The siege of Minas Tirith, when the trebuchets started swinging and then the Nazghul came flying in.
1. The charge of the Rohirim on Pellanor Field. This has to be the most epic scene in the entire franchise.
Honorable mentions:
The eagles are coming! Who didn't get a chill down their spine when that happened?
The worg attack on the way to Helm's Deep, specifically that acrobatic scene of Legolas' as he swings onto that horse.
The ending of the Battle of Helm's Deep, with Theodan riding out with Aragorn, and Gimli blowing that big horn.
Orc attack on Osgiliath
Retreat from Osgiliath (when Gandalf rode out and saved them from the Nazghul).
Unfortunately, in the last section, the release of the dead is omitted. This is what is the most important thing about that scene, when Aragorn states their oath as fulfilled...
Another possible scene would be the march of the Ents to Isengard...
Gandalf driving back the Nine on the fields on Gondor before they can kill Faramir. The shaft of white light flashed from his staff into the sky, is depicted actually as the book describes. Easily my favorite scene.
There are multiple still shots from the scene that could have easily been an landscape painting from the romanticism movement.
That scene will always give me chills
And then don’t forget about the amazing soundtrack that they paired with that scene… one lone angelic operatic voice…..
Soooooo good!!
LOTR wasn't the first to create epic battle scenes, but it was the movie that completely changed and redefined how movies made epic battle scenes.
Best 3 movies ever filmed
The final stand at helmsdeep followed by the cavalry charge will always be my favourite scene
That’s why my favorite movies are Lord of the Rings until now still amazing. I love the scene when the soul of the dead comes out to help them ❤️💕❤️🌺🌹🌷
So awesomely done these scenes. "To the king", just mesmerizing. What a masterpiece..... I'm still rewatching these movies.
Not sure if other people think this too but it is wild the difference the music in this trilogy makes. I'd argue that it is the music that makes most of this trilogy as the scenes have so much more impact with the insane score by Howard Shore. An amazing composer.
Actually the best 3 scenes in the LOTR are...
Scene 1: the Fellowship of the ring
Scene 2: The Two towers
Scene 3: the return of the king
Now that I know more about the expanded lore of middle earth. I can appreciate it much more how amazing it is that Aragon was about to fight off 5 ring wraiths by himself.
There can't be cool scenes when the entire trilogy is a masterpiece
The best scene for me it's when the ring is destroyed and Barad Dur falls. That shit gives me goosebumps to this day XD
When pipin start lighting the beacons tower, you realize never see something cool like that.
0:24, the Nazgul hold they sword with both hands, just like Aragon usually did, perhaps it's the way of the king blood. Nazgul also was the 9 Kings of men once before.
Its a man sword. Its heavier than elvish swords and its supposed to be weilded with both hands
Not all swords are arming swords and short swords
I bet he meant the manner of carrying a sword vertically in front of the face. Not the actual combat stance.
Nazgul use longswords or bastard swords your ment to hold those with 2 hands
4:13 This scene is so old and up to this day there was nothing better. It will be perfect for another 50 years. We have War from End game but it is compleatly different thing
The witchking dropping that mace out, damn that's some nasty looking weapon, to stand against that is freaking awesome, always gets me
Aragorn vs 5 Nazgul, sometimes you forget just how OP Aragorn is
Numenorean.
The seen with Boromir saving the hobbits and then fighting the orcs. Him taking those arrows is the most heart wrenching of the whole trilogy. 😞
There is one scene where Saruman has the wargs sent after Rohan as they flee to Helm's Deep in Twin Towers. Legolas is shooting down wargs and their riders with his bow and arrow as Theoden and his men ride up behind him. He looks over his shoulder, sees Gimli on their horse, grabs hold of the reins and swings himself around the chest of the horse and into the saddle. An amazing piece of CGI. I get chills no matter how many times I watch it.
Omg yes. I replayed this scene so many times! It’s just for a split second too!
Personally, when the Balrog jumps out of the depths of the mine or moria and roars, was pretty cool. The roar sounded more like a large furnace which was apropos.
The friggin ring wraith swinging his arms at 2:48 always cracks me up :D
IM DEAD
I don’t think there will ever be such a masterpiece created again, if one of your friends never watched this. TAKE THEM ON A MARATHON
These movies are so... special.. even without special effects such as in Harry Potter (no offense tho, I’m a huge Potterhead) they managed to create something magical.
And I’m not even talking about my huge crush on legolas- I MEAN-
Tell me about it! Also Legolas is just so amazing and so cool
I love love love clip nr 4!!! Gandalfs War scream with the music, the epicness everything!!!
I noticed all of these scenes are basically battle scenes, and they are outstanding. But there are some extraordinary "philosophical" scenes that should have been included. For example: Gandalf's homily, for lack of a better word, in the Mines of Moria.
GANDOLF: "Pity? It was pity that stayed Bilbo's hand. Many that live deserve death and some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be to eager to deal out death in judgement. Even the very wise cannot see all ends....
FRODO: "I wish the ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened."
GANDOLF: "So do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in the world, Frodo, besides the will of evil...."
Our when Sam follows Frodo, as Frodo tries to sneak away and cross the River Anduin.
And when Gandalf speaks to Pippin about what comes after death. That was in the middle of the Battle of Pellinor Fields.
I find these movies incredibly spiritual.
Who is Gandolf
@@pinkfloydhomer I just saw your comment. Sometimes I go back and read things that people had in response to my comment. I can see your comment as being humorous if that is where you are coming from. But I have a distinct feeling that is not your sentiment. People who correct spelling and English on the internet (or in real life for that matter) are in my opinion petty. They think too much of their own intellect, which in many cases proves they are neither intelligent nor sensitive to others. This makes them even less intelligent, as it is evidence of their lack of emotional intelligence. Gandolf is of course a misspelling of a character in Lord of the Rings. If you are unable to figure that out, you probably need some sort of remedial teaching. Your apparent need to be fastidious is asinine.
@@eowyn333womanwarrior7 you should take yourself less seriously and learn to take some humour. There is something funny about a person being so into a universe and a character that they post quotes from it, but misspell this very important and legendary character's name. My purpose was not to make you feel bad, everything is not about you. I hope you have a great day.
@@pinkfloydhomer Should I take myself less seriously? I will say you also take yourself too seriously. Is your silly observation that I misspelled a name important? Actually, no. But apparently, you feel you are so clever you must let the whole world know. You had to tell them that your ability to make a glib remark is much more critical than an observation that another person thought they could share without editing. If I wanted an editor, I would hire one. If your finesse with empty comments is so important (and they must be important), your superficial remark indeed usurped what I had to say. Perhaps it is because you take yourself so seriously; the world has to know you can spell Gandalf correctly - not this idiot who thinks anything serious does not belong here; and besides, she doesn't know how to spell Gandalf. She should be just as superficial as myself. The person that thought there were more critical moments in the film, observing that violence is overrated, should instead make a more inferior remark like mine. I believe that you are supercilious with your "casual" putdown because putdown is what it was. Okay. HaHaHa...your funny and I'm not.
@@eowyn333womanwarrior7 I hope you are well, go out into the sunshine and be with other people
Better than The Hobbit!
Yeah, true. The Hobbit is so confusing. I don't know if it was before or after they wiped out Sauron.
Mick Carson i think it’s 50 some years before they wiped out Sauron.
@@fatimaiqbal7965 60
Glaringly obvious 😂😂 the hobbit was far longer than it needed to be, the Kili and Tauriel love story was pointless and it relied far too much on CGI which made it seem lazy. Just my opinion I’m not arguing with you 😂
The hobbit is Pretty boring to watch because its Go so slow in the story
LEGOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!!!!! YOU ARE BETTER THAN ANY OF US!!!!!!!!
Lighting of the beacons. ...one of the greatest combinations of image and music in movie history.
my fav and coolest scene is when Gandalf arrives to Minas Tirith with Pippin and the background music playing....oohhh... goosebumps ❤️❤️❤️
My favorite line in the entire trilogy....
"I am no man." -Eowyn
It can be either taken humorously or defiantly.
We just know this scenes by memory but yes, we need to re-watch them over and over again
Good list, but in my opinion, Aragorn's fight with Lurtz is easily the coolest moment in the trilogy.
It is a cool moment hahaha
@@EverythingInMiddleEarth why did you say hahaha?
I always think the scene where gandalf rides out of the gates of minas tirith is one of the most exciting as well
4:45 half died of Gimli weight lol
Boromir has no fear.... Sounds the trumpet of gondor as he fights courageously 🙌
The part where Legolas surfs down the stairs is the best!!❤️❤️
hahaha its a great scene
I love these movies but that is the most hollywood kind of scene and least faithful kind of scene to the books. Just silly action for general moviegoers and kids. Luckily thats about as silly as it ever gets... unlike The Hobbit which is ruined by that sort of thing, among many other problems.
That’s probably when I first fell in love with Orlando Bloom 😂😂😂
It took you that long?
@@mella8296 it wasn’t actually him plus they were connected to a bunch wires and shit, still a cool scene though
Howard Shores score is the magic that makes all of these scenes so good. Everytime I watch I'm shocked at how the music truly brings all the incredible elements of this film together. Quite possibly the best move score ever composed.
Just when you see the Nazgul’s iron clad foot slowly approaching out of the shadows..., or when he turns his head when he senses the ring. goosebumps
I love when the Uruk-Hai start hitting the ground with their spears and weapons in front of Helm's Deep
Ha! Yes! I thought the 'birth' of the Uruk-Hai was cool as well.
That scene was improvised
But then kept in the movie.
That's the advantage of using real human as orcs than just CG Character like in the hobbits..
The amazing amount of detail they put into the props and characters it literally looked and fell like you were watching a real story unfold. The costumes didn't look made up, or over manufactured like they do today, the CGI wasn't over saturated. This trilogy was just pure perfection.
3:40 to the KIng is one of best cinematic scenes ever....epic and get chills alwayssssss
'That still only counts as one!' Love it!!
[On Pelennor Fields, the Rohirrim are routing the orcs.]
Éomer: "Drive them back to the river!"
Théoden: "Make safe this city!"
[As the Rohirrim drive away the Orcs, giant war Oliphaunts (Mûmakil) come into view.]
[Haradrim, mounted on the Mûmakil, blow horns.]
[The Mûmakil run past the retreating Orcs.]
[The King of Rohan does not hesitate.]
Théoden: "Reform the line! Reform the line! Sound the charge! Take them head-on! Charge!!!!"
[Gamling blows his horn.]
Frodo: oh look creepy death guys lemme put on the ring they won't see me or feel me
8:25
"Legolas"
Challenge accepted.
My favorite scene is when the ents first attack saruman's tower. the music flows perfectly and is a great transition from after gandalf charges with eomer at the uruk hai
Awesome video! This is a very good list that I really enjoyed watching! I agree with it, there's only one scene which I really like in the movies that wasn't on this video and it's that scene in The Fellowship of the Ring when the Fellowship fights Saruman's uruk-hai. I think that scene is very well done! But this is a great list and it just shows the quality that The Lord Of The Rings' films have! Keep going with the amazing videos!
Thank you so much and that is an amazing scene
Peaches&cream, salt&pepper, squash&pumpkin, cilatro&parsley, onion&celery, beet juice&orange juice, ice & cream.....magnificent
We have salt and pepper here.
That scene is so awesome! Gandalf is The Man from Snowy River!
Whenever Aragon smells trouble...he shouts LEGOLAS =) ...Brilliant franchise!
I would add the Lighting of the Beacons and the Bridge of Khazad Dum.
Just a Howard Shore appreciation comment!
I believe the best scene of "The Lord of the Rings" (movie, not book) is fighting Gandalf vs balrog.
AMAZING. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Legolas is so cool he just surfs down the stairs on a shield *chef kiss*. And how Legolas fights the oliphaunt... *another chef kiss*.
to stop 4 nazguls together when you are only one against them.....it can only Isildurs heir....I am sure that there wasnt many other men at that time in Middle Earth who could do this
Whoa, it sounded like he said f*ck you guys” at the end there. But apparently it was “Thank you”, well more like “Fank you” lmao
Do not come between nazgul and its prey 6:30
Nazgul: my time has come.
I love LOTR but Return of the King is my favourite. Imo it’s a cinematic masterclass, there’s a reason it got like 32 nominations at the Oscars and won 12-13 awards (joint highest wins). The run time doesn’t bother me, I’ve even watched the 4hr extended edition which made it even better 👌👌
The Fellowship of the Ring is the most consistent. Second is The Two Towers, last is RoTK but they're all good.
@trueblue96CFC Return of the King is a LOTR film though
Nothing compares to these films. Remember I was so blown away by its scope, that It was sort of an epic video game or sumit
"Well, it still only counts as one!" -- That line gets me every time!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
That still only counts as 1...😂😂😋
Gimili is a comic relief character that actually contributes to the success of his party to the point where without him the others would have a more difficult time
This shit was everything as a 13 year old at the time. Honestly there has not been a series to date that I have been into more than lotr. Just a badass movie.
“That’s still count as one”
Ahahah le nain est degz 😂
The scene where the Ents march towards Isengard is by far the most ''fuck yeah'' moment in the trilogy for me. Treebeard soloed Isengard on a whim.
aww and the eagles appears scene is also magnificent
clearly you like the big battle scenes. My favorite would be the council of Elrond where the flames appear in the reflection of the ring. It captures so well the distrust between the races.
The musical score is the narrator in these films. It’s truly epic.
very cool thanks
I love all these scenes too. The scene were Gandalf kills balrog is amazing too
