LotR Film Quotes

[Mark]

"You shall not pass!" - Gandalf on the Bridge of Kazad Dum

Oh, yes. And, "Fly, You Fools!"

 

[Squire James]

I think the overall WORST quote of LoTR (still on topic, see?) is IMO the infamous, "Go away, Sam!"

When I heard that line in the movie theater, I immediately said (out loud), "What is Mr. Jackson SMOKING?" It wasn't anything as benign as Longbottom Leaf, I can say that!

 

[Mystery Man]

"I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve."

 

[Mystery Man]

oh, geez.

more dwimmerlaik references.

Actually, maybe you can help me:
What do you see in that word/phrase?

Because it sounds like the height of Tolkein geekiness to me.
When you say "Begone, foul dwimmerlaik", I hear "ridiculous-sounding, made-up dork-term."

It means "phantom".

"Begone, foul Dwimmerlaik, lord of carrion! Leave the dead in peace!"

A cold voice answered: "Come not between the Nazgûl and his prey! Or he will not slay thee in thee turn. He will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shrivelled mind be left naked to the lidless Eye."

A sword rang as it was drawn. "Do what you will; but I will hinder it, if I may."

"Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!"

Then Merry heard of all sounds in that hour the strangest. It seemed that Dernhelm laughed, and the clear voice was like the ring of steel. "But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Éowyn I am, Éomund's daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you, if you touch him."
- Eowyn defies the Witch King of Angmar

Well, I was going to reply to reaper, but then I saw Eridanis' request, and I have to confess to being a bit baffled. A discussion on the merits of a Tolkien quote is off topic on a thread about favorite Tolkien quotes?

Is this some new definition of topic that I haven't seen before?

Ya, that kind of befuddled me, too, to be honest.
Kinda stops you in your tracks.

Theoden's line is almost a direct quote from the original text. In general, it seems as though the movie's dialogue is better the closer it is to the dialogue contained in the books, and has less power and impact whenever Boyens and Walsh go off on their own.

as much as it pains me... and for those not in the know... Storm Raven and I have been at odds for years on multiple places on the net....

i completely agree with him.

I don't know the quote, but the "slo-mo" scene of Theoden dressing for the Battle of Helm's Deep, giving that speech always moved me.

Same with the scene of Faramir riding to battle while Pippin sings to Denethor was moving as well.

"Where is the horse and the rider?"

That's the start of Theodens monologue in TTT.
