I'll just finish with
The Two Towers now. Or try to. Treebeard is one of my favorite characters.
I like him because he goes "hm hm hm...hm hm"
And he's all over like that.
My favorite scene is probably when Gandalf the White appears.
It would be hard for me to rank the characters, but I'll try.
1. Frodo Baggins - i just had to do it, he's the ring-bearer, I love Eliah Wood, he's a hobbit (nuf said) and he in fact sort of represents Jesus because it was up to him to defeat Sauron who represents the devil. I hope I'm not being sacriledgeous.
2. Sauron - ok, ok, it's him, i know, but he's probably the most fascinating vilain in cinema history for me. The Eye itself would be more than enough.
3. Gandalf - I just LOVE, LOVE him. The most positive character.
4. Aragorn - The same here, plus he's human, the archetypical hero. He's valiant, brave, smart, a fighter, a stoic, never takes the easy way out, yet he's quiet and humble. I love him and Orlando Bloom was perfect for the role, imho.
My god, now it's impossible for me to decide between Sam, Merry and Pippin, ok.
5. Sam - Who could not love him? He'd give his life for Frodo any day of the week.
I love Pippin. He's the most ridiculous and hobbitest of them all. Impossible to decide between the three.
