1. Fëanor shutting the door in Morgoth's face.
2. Fingolfin's challenge. 3. Ancalagon the Black destroying Thangorodrim (even if it was unintentional ![]() 4. Eówyn revealing herself to the Witch king. 5. Húrin defying Morgoth.

Well, since I am what I am, I must say when the Eagles brought..gaah, don't remember.. to free.. was it Hurin?.. from Thagorodrim.
Eowyn yes. I'll second that. When Luthien makes Morgoth sleep. I don't remember clearly what Fingolfins challenge was, but Ellie has it on her list, so I put it up ![]()

That would be the version from the Lays. How could Morgoth refuse after that? ![]() ![]()

I always was really touched by Ulmo's words to Tuor. I think the best version is in UT, and I don't have a copy to quote from....must steal from EL the next time I visit her!
Other moments....Sam fighting Shelob, definitely. Ah...I found the version I like best....in LTII...Tuor's first veiw of the Sea, and his wandering on the beaches. And his sea longing when Ulmo calls upon him to travel to Gondolin. I know well the love of the sea, having lived beside it most of my life. (and now I'm stuck in the middle of Massachusetts. ![]() |

![]() Embladyne. Yeah, I like Tuor meeting Ulmo very well. It is something with the scene, and the pictures of it I think are fantastic.

Too late and I'm too tired to think of the proudest, but one of the proudest moments was when the Rohirrim arived at the Pellenor Fields and joined the attack. Man, I wish I could be there with them.

There are so many!
I think The Return of the King is the most emotionally charged of the trilogy.. but my favorites are.. ~..The Choices of Master Samwise. I read that chapter... all the time. ![]() ~..when Merry stabs the Witch King in the knee. It really emphasized the change in his character over time. ~..the creation of Middle Earth in the beginning of the Silmarillion. I just thought that myth was such a beautiful idea for the creation. ~..The Scouring of the Shire, when Merry and Pippin come into their own. |

I'm getting goosebumps just reading these posts!!
I agree with most, but not all of these. another one I haven't seen here - the last bit of the Lay of Lethian when Beren goes to fight the wolf with his bare hands to protect Lúthien... Quote:

When the Four hobbits (you know who) return to The Shire wise and brave and stand up to the bullies by uniting the hobbits....then Frodo's appreciation for life...all life during the battle.
