Do you have a favorite moment from Tolkien, a moment that stirs the heart and refreshes the soul?
Or do you have several favorites, or can you not decide at all?
My favorite moment, in both the books and the films, is the ride of the Rohirrim.

My favorite moment, in both the books and the films, is the ride of the Rohirrim. "For morning came, morning and a wind from the sea......." Yeah, probably too many to count, although I'll list some of my faves here. -You Shall Not Pass (duh) -The Eagle Rescue from the burning trees (one of the coolest moments in The Hobbit book) -The Barrel ride (I don't even know why) -"I can't carry it for you, BUT I CAN CARRY YOU!!!" and basically everything Sam does for Frodo -The Rohan soldiers joining the Battle of Minas Tirith -and, finally, the #1 most heart-stirring, soul-refreshing anything, The Shire (Concerning Hobbits plays in the background)

I am one of those of the opinion that Peter Jackson made WONDERFUL renditions of Tolkien's works (at least LOTR), and when I watch those movies, I can never suppress tears at the end of the Two Towers, as Sam speaks to Frodo about the Great Stories, and the Ents flood Isengard, and Eomer's riders flood down the slopes into the sea of Uruks. The combination of PJ's cinematography, Howard Shore's fantastic composition, Sean Astin's acting, and Tolkien's words, all wrapped into one, makes it such a special moment!

I would agree with you on LotR, I love that rendition, but the length makes it difficult to watch them often I love the charge of Aragorn at the Black Gate and how Merry and Pippin follow him

LotR and Jurassic Park are the only things I would ever dare say that about, but it might be true.... please don't hate. I can see why. Its just they left out one of my favorite characters (imrahil) and Dol Amroth, and left out the scouring of the shire, which was my favorite chapter. The movies are amazing, I just like the books a bit more. Some things the movies did better IMO and some things the books did better.

I'm currently in the middle of rewatching the movies and I must say there are a lot of inaccuracies I hadn't taken much note of before, i.e. Faramir being a jerk and the elves coming to Helm's Deep. Frodo sending Sam down the mountain is a change I feel actually adds more depth to Sam's character and his and Frodo's relationship, so I actually kind of approve of that one.
