For me, it's very close between Return of the King and Fellowship of the Ring. Fellowship had a lot more adventure in it, and some fairly emotional scenes, but Return of the King had the big epic battles, the majority of the emotional spots, and... the lighting of the beacons. I LOVED that music in that scene, AND the cinematography. I also liked the scene where Aragorn is presented with the sword that was broken, by Elrond. We were sitting at the front of the theatre, so when he unsheathed it, I literally had to look up to see the whole thing.
I like Return of the King the best, because it's really Sam's moment to shine in it. It's a shame Sean Astin got snubbed at the Oskers; he didn't even get nominated for best supporting actor, or anything. I thought he did an awesome job in that roll. Although my brother thought it was cheesy, for whatever reason, I love the line "I can't carry the ring for you, but I can carry you! Come on!" Makes me tear up when I see it/hear it.
Fellowship also had Boromir's death scene, which is one of, if not the most emotional scene in the entire trilogy-along with the journey through Moria-but I think the stuff in RotK beats all that out for me.
