I liked "You look terrible!"

Priceless. And the smiles Aragorn and Legolas gave each other looked so genuine and pure, it was a pleasure to watch. Hollywood's signs of affection between men are usually so full of innuendoes that it was like a breath of fresh air to witness what looked like genuine male friendship.

And I'm glad you liked Faramir. I did too and actually understood why Jackson had to do it: if you cut Shelob, Frodo and Sam's adventures in the second part wouldn't be very exciting except for the presence of Gollum, and would turn Frodo into a minor character in Jackson's TTT.

I just like that they all smiled more in this one than in FoTR... (We got a couple of smiles out of Legolas in the Extended Edition) There were light moments in the books, and I didn't notice the lack of smiles until they put some in.

It is interesting that they seemed to smile and joke more in TTT, given the darker turns in the story. Perhaps that is PJ's way of not making it so bleak it isn't good entertainment anymore.
