My personal favorite (besides Aragorn's speech) was when Frodo and Sam were up on Mount Doom and Sam was trying to get Frodo to remember the Shire, but the Ring was so powerful at that point that Frodo couldn't get past the Ring. Sam then makes this declaration...

"Let us be rid of it then...once and for all! Come on Mr. Frodo...I can't carry it for you...but I can carry you! Come on!"

...and then lifts Frodo onto his shoulders and caries him up the mountain. I've always thought of that point as when Samwise the Brave turned into Samwise the Mighty. That scene never ceases to choke me up.

I loved the scene where Pippin signs in the hall of Denethor...The way the scene fades out to the slow motion ride against the orc-occupied fortress...Made the hair on the back of my neck rise first time I saw that scene, and I still think it’s brilliant.
