This one is probably my favourite in the series, though it's very close with RotK.
To start us off, [b]what is your favourite scene from the film?[/b]
Mine is probably the council scene where they're deciding what to do with the One Ring. I love when Legolas stands up and defends "Strider". [url=https://youtu.be/RRzVYYESyv4?t=2m8s]Click here to watch the scene.[/url]
Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) was honestly the perfect Aragorn for me. He travelled just about everywhere by foot to get the weathered, travelled look; he always carried real metal weapons and proper gear (armour) so that he could always feel the weight of it and be conscious of it; and he even deflected a real knife that could have done some serious damage to him (or even killed him) during the film. For those who don't know, when he's fighting the Uruk-hai leader, the actor playing the Uruk threw a real knife at him (not knowing it was real). Additionally, it slipped at a full speed throw and went straight at Viggo's head. His instincts kicked in and he perfectly deflected the knife, even shattering part of the blade.
[u]For those who have not watched it or want to watch it again, sound off when would be good for you and we'll set a date and create a live chat so that we can all talk as we watch![/u]
Please also ask any discussion questions that you might have!

He actually deflected areal knife? That's amazing.
