About FOTR
Sirindu

I think you're just plain wrong. Sorry. For one, you aren't looking at the movie as a whole. Which SOMEHOW is just different from the other movies.

Plus, more of my favorite scenes come from FOTR than any other movie.

Here are most of my fav scenes from the Trilogy. These are not in order...

The Prologue. (FOTR)
Gandalf's talk with Frodo while in the mines.(FOTR)
Weathertop(FOTR)
Balin's Tomb(FOTR)
Gandalf confronts the Balrog(FOTR)
Boromir confronting Frodo about the Ring.(FOTR)
Bilbo's "speech" and exit. (FOTR)
Sam "swimming" out to Frodo at the end of (FOTR) and the scene that follows.
Saruman and Gandalf on top of Orthanc(FOTR)
Arwen riding to Rivendell with Frodo(FOTR)

Final Tally:

FOTR: 9
TTT: 4
ROTK: 9

Ok, so I THOUGHT most of my fav scenes came from FOTR. It's actually a tie.

The fact is, I do not base how good the movies are on how many of my fav scenes are included. Rather, I base it on the whole.

I simply cannot see comparing movies by figuring up how many of the scenes would be in my "fav scenes" and deciding from that. But we're all different.
