You're making me pick? That's just wrong! I love them all. Since I have to pick one...I'll pick Return of the King. It was a wonderful film and was quite emotional for me to watch, even my brother said that and he's tough lol. It was a magical journey from movie one. I went to a LOTR marathon a couple of years ago and it went for nine hours!

Return on the King had the ultimate battle and it was just amazing to watch. I loved it. Watching Frodo destroy the ring, along with Gollum was a great scene. Aragorn becomes the King of Gondor while Arwen becomes his Queen. It's a happy ending. The hobbits are lovely creatures! They thought Frodo would never make it but he proved them wrong. Gollum is such an annoying character. He drives me insane. Sam is a nice character. I like Pippin lol.

Fellowship of the Ring would be my second favourite. It's humorous at times and just great to watch. I love the extended versions of the films. They're excellent! Peter Jackson did an GREAT job on these films, so did all of the actors and crew.

Return of the King gets my vote!

OH dear, no I did not make you pick this is a multiple choise poll.
Now, I voted for two movies and I know it's hard to pick 1 favorite amongst the three, so I decided to do a multiple choise poll as I said.

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.

You're talking to the biggest LotR fan here! Like the loser I am, I voted for all of them. I am not one to choose one. When someone asks me, "What is your favorite LotR movie?" I say, "All of them." Why? Because all of them were different in a way. Yes, some of the music stood the same (though, it is different in a way.) but it is all very enchanting.

Why is the Fellowship of the Ring my favorite? Okay, I know some people who only saw the first movie and didn't bother with the other two only because they found it boring, yatta yatta. PaH! When I saw the first movie, I was in awe; I always did dreamed of a fantasy world with many different races (this was before LotR came out mind you) and behold! Lord of the Rings has been released. Curiosity lead me to see this movie and when I first set my eyes on it, it was love at first sight. I loved absolutely everything about the movie; the setting, the music, the clothing, the special effects--everything! Then when it ended--what did I do? See it again until it was off theaters of course. ^^;;

Why is The Two Towers my favorite? The same reasons, but I absolutely loved the new setting of the movie. How everything was focused on the Rohirrim and the battle at Helms Deep. Even though I read the second book before watching the movie, I was still in awe when Gandalf came back. Everytime I see the movie, I always have a smile on my face because I know there will always be hope for them. You see the deep on going battle, and you think its over but nope, because there is hope. Again, I love the music (especially Gollum's song) the special effects and the new creatures that popped up. It was awesome. And yes, I did see this movie until the person who worked at the theater told me to get it out.

Ahahahaha! Return of the King! The first movie that EVER made me cry! What can I say? It's a kick ass movie, in my opinion. Again, I read the book before the movie, but I still cried when the friendship between Frodo and Sam was shattered for a moment. I cried when I believed all would be over during the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, then I cried when all the good stuff happened. And--man, I was just in tears (maybe because it was going to be the last movie as well). Even though a lot of people complained about the ending since it were really long, I still loved it. Hell, the ending was absolutely phenomenal. Everything--I can't say what--is my favorite, because it's absolutely breath taking. People in theater hated me though, because I already knew half the script when I was watching it the second time. *sigh* Lord of the Rings is my life, to this day, when I watch this movie, I still cry; and that is very rare for me. Let's face it, Return of the King was a very emotional movie...

All right, I'm going to stop there because I think people are sleeping in front of their computers right now. Hey, just be glad one didn't ask me how many LotR stuff I have. I'll be here forever x..x;

That's odd, the poll didn't show up when I looked this morning.

Anyways, I'm actually a Two Towers fan. In trilogies, I usually find the second installments to be little more than a bridge between the first and the last, but I really enjoyed the second LOTR. Helmsdeep was my love in LOTR Risk until they added Gondor and Mordor, hehe.

Hmm well I really can say I like Fellowship the best. It kept my attention through the whole movie and I just really liked everything about it. They're all good movies but I felt that the Two Towers had a ton of fighting which to me just wasn't my sort of thing. Return of the King was also good, I just think the first one was better.

Its a same u cant vote twice in a poll then I would have selected RoTK and FoTR. The fellowship of the ring set the scene and begun the whole story. I was absolutely gutted when the third one finished. It had some awesome scenes in it! .

I heard that they are making The hobbit into a movie, so that should be fascinating.

The return of the king was the best in everything but the fellowship of the ring was the funny one. I didnt like the second one, it was boring and I disliked Gollum a lot(or however you write it, it has been a while since I dont watch that movie)

The Fellowship Of The Ring. That was the first one and since I am a big LOTR fan, watching Tolkien's universe really come alive for the first time was magical really.

How can you make me choose?!

I chose the Two Towers. That was when Eowyn came into play, and she was my favorite character in the book series. Plus it was the stepping stone into the maturity of all the characters. So, I loved it.

I really like The Return Of The King was good. It was action packed, with sword fights and what not. Plus Frodos finger gets bitten off!!!! That was a pretty supriseing part. Man that would suck, getting your finger bitten off!
