The first time I saw it I didn't cry at all; but the second time, I totally lost it when the Hobbits were mourning Gandalf, and also when Boromir died. In fact the whole movie had more of an emotional impact the second time.

I'm hoping to see it again on Saturday; maybe I'll get to see the TT trailer.......

The first time I saw it... the most impacting scenes were when Aragorn turned to fight the Urak Hai by himself and what followed after up until the death of Boromir.

I remembered the "it comes in pint?" scene as well.

Even now after seeing it 8 times, the most stunning visual is Legolas. I am still amazed at how fast he fired those three shots. I don't think it was editing either. (Of course, if you don't have to aim it might make things go faster) And when he stuck the arrow in the Urak Hai's head and then shot it.

The whole fight between Aragorn and Lurtz. The first time I saw it, when Lurtz was going to fire point blank at Boromir (and even though I knew Boromir died) I kept saying "come on Aragorn.. come on Aragorn." When Aragorn comes flying into the scene and body slams Lurtz, I pumped my fist in response.

It really is a fabulous movie. Then the next couple of times I saw it, the more emotional scenes overwhelmed me.

The last time I saw it, I watched Frodo on the beach getting ready to leave the fellowship. What I love about Elijah Woods' acting is that it is so subtle. He is holding the ring and he hears Gandalf's face. The reaction of his face is sublime and wonderful...

I can see it again. I'm just waiting for the Two Towers trailer.
