It’s hard to pick one best moment in ROTK, but here are my top five (major spoilers ahead!):
Number 5: When Legolas fights a huge elephant plus all its riders.
Number 4: When Gimli tells Legolas, “That only counts as one.”
Number 3: When Eowyn and Merry defeat the Witch King.
Number 2: When Sam jumps up to go hit on Rosie Cotton.
Number 1 and absolutely best: Outside the movie, afterward, when my husband says, “Poor Aragorn. He really picked the wrong girl.”

Can’t argue with your list at all. Had the same thoughs myself.

Well, while I agree with your #1, since I didn’t have that one, I’d have to bump the very end of #3 up to #1:
“You fool! No man can kill me!”
“I am no man!”
You go, girl!
Hey, Betsy — thanks for the nod on the FOTD graphic. Y’all keep up the good work!

Oh yes. I’m with Scott. That was my very favorite part. I actually let out a loud hoot in the totally packed movie theater in downtown Boston. (My son-in-law took me out to the movie on a Saturday night; my first Saturday night date in more than three years!)

Wow! Number 1 is a tough one. They are BOTH fantastic choices. I would’ve killed myself if I had to make a decision.
However, there was no decision to make for Aragorn as he was betrothed to Arwen, which is fine by me as I would be happy with Eowyn! :-) I love strong women that believe in something as strongly as both Eowyn and Arwen. We need more people like that in the world.
Cheers,
