Favorite Scene From The Lotr Movies

Yes, with the extended versions, it's fun to watch and pick out the scenes which weren't in the cinema versions-- they're very good!
 
I liked the battle at pelennor, i love all the battles. In the first one it was clos to tears when boromir died. I forget where they go when they leave middle earth can soemone answer my question? lol
 
My favorite scenes are...
1. TT: Helm's deep when Gandolf arrived with Eomer's crew
2. ROTK: When Theoden's army came to aid Gondor
3. ROTK: Aragorn sailed in with the army of the dead

Just thinking about it all gives me chills...great movies!

Where who goes -- Frodo, Bilbo and the elves?
Where are they going? Are they going to the Grey Havens, or are the Grey Havens that port where they are sailing from? They're going back wherever the original Eldar (elves) came from, it's in that dreadful Simarillion book...

Ents, trees, same thing ... Tee-hee.
I like the Ents, but they make my husband mad! Whenever we are watching the DVD and they come on, he storms off mumbling, "Not those *$@!&% trees again!" He thinks they look fake or cartoony. Shows what he knows! :p
 
Mine is in the extended ROTK. Liv Tyler sings. Eowyn commands each story arc, from Eomer the King of Rohan crying over her body, to Aragorn the New King come again, working to save and heal her, to faramir, part of the future of Men agreeing to blend his Numenorean blood with hers.

I am editing the video to make the Eowyn movie.

The Grey Havens is the port from which they set sail - Bilbo and Frodo are destined for Valinor - the undying lands. Where the Valar have ruled since before the coming of the elves.

The elves lived in Valinor for a while, (they were brought there from Middle Earth by one of the Valar - all except the Silvan) but the Nolder (Galadriel's race) were banished after the ordeal with the Simarils. Very complicated stuff - I've just grossly oversimplified it; no other Ringers whack my head of please! ;)
 
My my. Lovers of LotR really are a different race of people all together arent you!

I had no idea what you just said - its like your speaking another language. Im used to it tho - Ive got a friend whos always trying to explain the history and stuff in the books. I just glaze over and think about bunnies!

Ive got a question. Do you know where Tolkein got his idea for 'Middle Earth' from?? (i mean the name, not the stories!)

The term 'Middle Earth' is one used in both Celtic and Norse mythology I believe. Refering to the lands between the heavens and the otherworldly realms. I always wondering if that's where Tolkien got it. Uh..I think...help anyone?
 
Awww poo - you got it straight away....

Its from the Viking term Midgard (or Middengard) - the name the Vikings gave to the owrld in which they lived. Translated Middengard is Middle Earth.
 
I don't doubt Tolkien drew from Norse mythology...
...The other day I picked up a book at an antique sale called "West of the Moon and East of the Sun" (a phrase Tolkien used in one of his poems) it is a children's book from the '50s full of Norse fairy tales. I haven't even bothered to give it to my little sister yet..I want to read it.

I just started reading LOTR for the 4th time...It is so nice to get back into that world again..
..Any info on whether the Hobbit is going to be made into a movie?

Ya i forgot about that, rats......... well i hope they are that was my first tolkien book i had ever read like in grade 6. And it is such a lovely story. I was all excited about the hobbit movie being made but after a while the excitement died out cuz i hadnt heard anything else if they actually were. I sure hope they do./
 
I think right now the Hobbit's all tied up in legal issues - I heard a while back there was a dispute over who owned the rights to it - and how much it would cost for New Line to buy them. I hope it's done soon, however, because Sir Ian Mckellen HAS to play Gandalf, and Ian Holms is the perfect Bilbo.

It would look kinda strange if Bilbo and Gandalf were significantly older in the prequil to LOTR...
 
I recently saw Ian Holms in "Aviator"...a movie I wouldn't recomend to anybody...but he did look remarkably well preserved.

I never did see what girls saw in Leonardo DiCaprio (or DiCraprio as my sister says)...the only good thing about him is his name.
