I defy you to find another instance in film where the score and imagery were so well aligned.

ending with...

THE BEACONS ARE LIT!!! GONDOR CALLS FOR AID!!!!

pause

And Rohan Will Answer...

MUSTER THE ROHIRRIM!!!!

I still get so pumped every single time.

How far apart were those fires supposed to have been? The inhabitants of Middle Earth had stronger vision than most of us post TV, laptop and smart phone folks. We all wear glasses, have contacts or surgery by 40.

The inexplicable downvote must be from someone upset I didn't post the scene.

So, here

The scene that gets me amped is in the Two Towers when Gimli blows the horn of Helm Hammerhand.

Just imagine how awesome it would be to hear that horn on the first light of the 5th day at dawn while you're looking to the east.

Another trilogy that good and that dedicated to the source material will probably never be made again.

I swear if I ever wrote a novel, any contract with a studio to turn it into a movie or TV show would have clauses that allowed me to veto changes.

Ride of the Rohirrim is by far the greatest scene in all of LOTR. And there’s quite a few great scenes.

Theoden’s speech is incredible, and then the charge has incredible score aligned with the plot of the rising sun blinding the orcs

I started watching Fellowship of the Ring this week. It will take a while, but I want to watch all 3 over Christmas. It’s been a few years. Probably my favorite movie series of all time. Perfect.

I’ve got another that I like, but yeah maybe not as good.

Excalibur, when Arthur finally drinks from the grail and speaks to his brother, culminating in, “Guards, Knights, Squires …. Prepare for battle!” Then the ride out, set to Carmina Burana, that heals the land. Would be perfect if the special effects were a little better in 1980.
