Sam will always be the best hero in film history. You know why? Because he shows that you dont have to be some AMAZING BUFF HOT GUY to be a hero unlike Superman and batman and all the other stereo type shit they have these days. All you have to be is willing to do the right thing. I think LOTR is a huge inspiration and is the best masterpiece ever
Alien4131 That's why we still look at this trilogy and still see a masterpiece! These movies will never be out of time! I don't see a almost 15 year old movie when i watch The Fellowship, i see something truly awesome! If you show any of the LOTR-movies to someone who have never seen them, and ask them to guess how old they are. There is no way in bloody hell they are going to guess "around 15" Look at batman, particulary look at the old batman movies, even tho they were made to be a certain way, no one is taking them serious today. Even Batman Begins with C.Bale starts to feel a bit old. *Lord* *of* *The* *Ring* *may* *one* *day* *get* *old,* *but* *it's* *not* *this* *day!*
It leaves you speechless because of how perfect this trilogy is. The last scene is one the best scenes in film history. The setting, the music, the emotion. Unbelievable
TacTundra Indeed. And that is why The Hobbit is so... disappointing. The same people who worked on the LOTR films worked on "that other trilogy"... what happened?
makin duh muhnies If you like the fact they reduced The Hobbit to (not one, but) three blockbuster popcorn flicks, then sure. They were enjoyable alright, they had some good & great moments, but overall they were lacking too much to fit next to the LOTR trilogy to me.
Missed one of the best ones. "Never thought I would die Fighting side by side with an Elf" - "What about side by with a friend" - "Aye. I could do that"
Let's not forget Frodo was carrying the ring the whole time, and that he was constantly exposed to the power of the ring. If Sam or anyone else had carried the ring from the beginning, the result would have been the same. Imagine the mental strain that Frodo had experienced while carrying the ring. In that regards both Frodo and Sam are heroes, and Frodo deserves just as much recognition as Sam does.
The result wouldn't have been nearly the same if the Ring bearer was anyone else. Frodo, among the countless creatures of Middle Earth, had an innate unexpected extraordinary resilience to it's evil. If it had been anyone else, they wouldn't have even made it to Rivendell in the first Film before the Ring took hold.
I agree that Frodo had extraordinary resiliency to the ring, and I think Sam also had the same mental fortitude, but there is a bigger message behind the roles that Frodo and Sam took on in this series remember when Frodo says to Gandolf, "I wish the ring had never come to me." and Gandolf says "so do all who live to see such times, but that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." The types of trials and tribulations don't really matter. The cards that are dealt to you is what you have. You can only decide to do something about the situation that you are in, and hopefully you can make the right decision. Frodo had to be the ringbearer so he came through with it in the end. And Sam had to make sure that Frodo finishes his mission, even if Frodo started to doubt and hate Sam bc of the ring's influence and Gollum. What I'm trying to say is that, it is stupid to argue who is the true hero between Frodo and Sam, or who is better, etc. They're both heroes in that regard.
babbattaDAdentist What you're attempting to say, is how Tolkien managed to make a Legendarium that withstood the test of time, with the greatest of all stories by having practically "No main character". Everyone had a rol to fulfill, and none could do it without the other. Or in that case I should say "Everyone" were main characters.
This is true, but while Sam was the caring, protective friend who saved Frodo many times, Sam wouldn't have gotten far if Frodo wasn't the one who was carrying the torturous ring.
Johann Wolf You have to consider that the movie makers can't include every event which tolkien has foreseen. Sure Tom Bombadil would have been amazing in the scene but there is no connection to the trilogy so nonsense. Dude just join us and say THIS TRILOGY IS BADASSSS
Number 2 will always remain my favorite. It is an extremely powerful scene, as what Sam says relates so much to the world today. I tear up so much whenever I hear it...
Well the movie came out after 911 where people were disheartened, so this speech is kinda like hey don't give up yet. I can link the article if you want
+Lakshmi Guna None that has watched Lotr and cried is cold-hearted. Someone characterizing Gandalf an old-man, Sam and Frodo gay, and Theoden a Noob, that person IS cold-hearted!
Lakshmi Guna Yeah, but it's not only that! Sam states at the very end, when they think they'll die, that if he could marry sb, that would be Rose! It is how every friendship should be, with its bromance, nothing more!
Tolkien disliked homosexuality, not because of what it is, but because it ruined the idea of ''bromance''... that two men cannot show affection without being seen as ''gay''.
I can remember sitting in the cinema in 2003 watching ROTK and got shivers when Sam lifted Frodo up on the slopes of Mount Doom. Best scene of the trilogy for me!
I watched this movie back in 2003 at the cinemas I was only about 7 years old at the time and man I cried when I saw how brave Sam was. That is true friendship how he helps Frodo.
Yes, makes him think about it. But only for a moment. His glance is empty. There's nothing he has or he remembers that's good or worthy in his eyes. So worthy that it's greater than him, nothing to believe in.
i think it reminds him that he may no longer be part of that good or part of what is worth fighting for he remembers it and he yearns for it but it is not the path that he is on and he knows that idk juzt my take
one of my favorite moments "FROODOOO!" "I am here, Sam" "Destroy it! Let it go!" *silence* *blank stare* *the ring whispers* *Frodo turns around* "The ring is MINE" *puts on ring and vanishes*
That's the awesomeness of this story. I love medieval fantasy theme, with orcs and shit, yet when I think about LOTR all that comes to mind is scenes like these, great speeches and meaningful backstory.
That’s why it still is so popular and loved. Epic battles and fight scenes are awesome but what truly matters is these characters and their story/friendships.
The opening narration by Galadriel will forever be my favorite scene in the films. So great. The music, the wide shots of the armies fighting, how huge Sauron is, the history of the ring, and the Elvish, all leading into the title.
"It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because in the end how could things be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those are the stories that stay with you, that ment something, even if you were to small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, i do understand, I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something. What are we holding on to Sam? That there is some good left in this world and its worth fighting for"
PIPPIN: I didn't think it would end this way. GANDALF: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path, one that we all must take. The grey rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it. PIPPIN: What? Gandalf? See what? GANDALF: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise. PIPPIN: Well, that isn't so bad. GANDALF: No. No, it isn't beautiful...
gandalfs speech in moria is my favorite. And when Frodo remembers it on the shores of Anduin is amazing. These will always be the greatest movies of all time.
I’m just trying to imagine the sheer will and determination it took for an exhausted, famished Sam, to carry Frodo. Although small, hobbits were known to be quite plump
i also love the scene where Eowyn fights the Witch King of Angmar and he says:"FOOL, no man kan kill ME!" and then she pulls her helmet of and says:"i am no MAN!" and kills him but i also love you named ;w; i think there are a hundred lines in lord of the rings that make you get a lumb in your throat and many scenes that will make you gulp.. it is just epic!
I feel you, LOTR is my all time favorite. But GOT hasn't finished yet, give GRRa chance. Even if he doesn't do it on a grand scale he put forth a grand story even if it is not complete and might as well be never finished.
It's been over four years now, and I'd like to thank everybody who commented on the top 5, but there are certain things I feel I ought to straighten out. First of all, some of you criticised the video because it lacked some scenes that you personally find the best. I still believe that these scenes are the ones that create the whole magic, make every Tolkien geek remember what the whole trilogy is about -> “The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it still grows... ...perhaps the greater.” J. R. R. Tolkien Cheers!
Gamgeefux I appreciate your reasoning somewhat, but I just think some diversity could've been had. All of these scenes are just so similar. I feel like Helm's Deep has to be in any list of the best scenes in the movie, it was just incredible, same with the arrival of the Rohirrim at Minas Tirith. I do agree with the inclusion of 4 and 3 definitely. I love 3. I think 2 has some very nice dialogue, but it just felt stale after having already watched 5 - 3. Not a huge fan of 1. Still, I respect your reasoning.
+Gamgeefux My personal best 9) Sam and Frodo in Osgiliath 8) Sam and Frodo in the end of ''Fellowship of the Rings'' 7) Theoden thinking out loud in Helm's Deep 6) Frodo and Sam after the destruction of the Ring, outside Mount Doom 5) Gandalf and Frodo in Moria 4) Ride of the Rohirrim 3) Boromir's Death 2) Gandalf the Gray's Death 1) Aragorn's Speech at the Black Gate xD
I would have added the scene at the end of FotR where Frodo and Sam are about to take off on their journey alone, at the river. That was incredibly moving.
I love how a lot of their acting comes through their eyes...it's like the expression of their eyes does all the acting and can express so many words without saying anything
I don't think you could ever have a better friend than samwise. these guys chose right when they chose the # 1 scene. It reminds me how God is willing to carry our burdens.
Alexandre Tostes well, of course, i know that. but however, in my opinion sam was the one that i consider chief hero, which Tolkien actually stated himself. though of course it is right that frodo carried a heavier burden. what i find remarkable about sam though is that he gives back the ring to frodo voluntarily, which is something even Aragorn had to fight with. and Galadriel didn't dare touch it. but a normal gardener could bear the ring (yes, sam is considered a ring bearer) and could give it back to frodo out of free will. the only other one i saw do something similar was Bilbo, also, whatever happened sam never lost hope but kept going and he supported frodo so he could go on. he is loyal enough to even follow frodo into the west at the end of his life (at least it was at the end of his life if i remember correctly) so i agree with you, yes, but i as well think that both are heroes, but sam is the chief to me, *just my opinion, others can have different, and actually i didn't want to turn this into a chain in the first place, so future people reading this, know it is an opinion from one person among many who does not want to get caught up in a heated argument which ends in the people bashing in their heads over trivial matters, for no good reasons, who don't listen to each other until it just consists of people throwing swear words at each other for which you don't need any intelligence whatsoever.... because for each of those messages i get a notification, and god it gets annoying^^ i am not saying that you are one of them, i am not saying the future readers are of that kind, but i do not want to risk it. so please, be decent everybody and respect that.* (this is so that no one can overread this)
Actually, JRR Tolkien considered Sam the absolute true hero of The Lord of the Rings trilogy for the countless of times he helped, hoped for, and saved Frodo, the ring bearer. More importantly, he was his friend; a true one. Such an amazing story isn't it?!
Holy fuck I cry every time 😢. This is just that one movie I wish I could unsee, just to experience it for the first time all over again. I don't know if its nostalgia because this was a movie I saw and loved when i watched it with my family as a child, but these three movies are in my opinion, the best movies to ever exist.
If there had been another scene (like top 6), I think the scene where Gimlee was "complaining about dying alongside a dwarf and Legolas asks "how about dying beside a friend?". Wow! It could be the 6th best!
Goosebumps "and then you see it" and "there's some good in this world and it is worth fighting for"(started crying) and "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you"(more crying) Oh God lotr are full of so emotional and beautiful scenes:')
I always tear up so much when Frodo says, "Frodo wouldn't have gone far without Sam." I guess it just reminds me of how without some of the most important people in my life, I wouldn't have gotten to where I am today.
Sam is the most likeable character in movie history. He made the lord of the rings to that what it is: the best trilogy ever made. Cheers to sean astin and all the other amazing actors. Damnn... Lotr will always be a part of me..
Sam is the best hero for me, because even though he wasn’t the main character or the greatest warrior, he saves Frodo. And he is as important as the other characters and it shows his struggles as well as everyone else 🥰 the main characters in films wouldn’t have been able to get through tough things without their friends so it really emphasizes how important they are 🥰
amazing actors all of them but at the end of the day the real hero with his huge and bestifull mind who was able to write this emotional story offcourse sir Tolkien thank you
My feels ;_; This really shows that the best scenes aren't always the most exciting (Rohirrim Charge, anyone?) but the quieter moments with emotion and meaning behind them :)
I know this book was written by a devout christian man, but can we just take a moment to think about sam's quote in the last scene, "I can't carry it for you, but i can carry you." How much does that reflect how christians believe God interacts with us. We may be tried throughout our lives, but it is God who can carry us through. Beautiful writing Mr. Tolkien.
I get goosebumps at #4 when Sam says: "... But in the end, its only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer..." Such powerful writing. Also very true to life.
Thank you so much for not just doing a bunch of fight scenes. These are all brilliant pieces of dialogue! Thank you Tolkien for bringing us this world!
Most amazing trilogy I have ever seen... The storyline and production of this movie is inspiring and it will always be a master piece.. I would like to create something like this in the future ..
The best scene for me is "Gondor calls for aid!" "And Rohan will answer!" This is when Men, who must assume the stewardship of Middle Earth finally come together, and then the payoff at Pelannor Fields just when all hope fades the cavalry literally arrive in the nick of time and rout Mordor. Théoden realises that Men must unite to fight despite the odds. The Elves are leaving, the Dwarves are isolationists, as are hobbits and with orcs/goblins/Uruk-Hai and Nazgul defeated Men (whose hearts are easily corrupted to quote Galadriel) finally prove to be Isildur's redemption.
I read once that Tolkien based Sam on the British soldiers he met in the trenches in World War 1, particularly the batmen - the soldiers assigned as servants for the officers. Loyal and enormously capable, Tolkien greatly admired them.
Such an amazing list because it focused on the most moving and impactful scenes. Yes, the Ride of the Rohirrim, Eomere at Helms Deep, “You! Shall Not! PASS!”, “For Frodo” at the Black Gate, etc. are all AMAZING scenes, but I respect that this list chose to focus on the lesser-appreciated scenes that are less action-oriented. Sams speech to Frodo on the slopes of Mount Doom is arguably the most moving 90 seconds of film in history
Gurdev Suwali It's not. Like Gandalf said, true courage comes in knowing not when to take a life, but when to spare one. However, I believe true courage comes in the form of our everyday interactions, whether it's greeting a neighbor, or even doing kind things for one another. People seem to equate courage with weapons and defending the weak. While defending the weak is a form of courage, it's not really true courage.
Oh Goodness! Those lines are touching! It was not just an epic fantasy story but it was a story of friendship, courage, hope and bravery to stand firm against evil and a strong faith that after all, it'll come to an end either good or bad as long as you remained fighting.
omg!!! I LOVE LOTR. I have seen all the movies at least 50 times. I cannot get enough of them. They just feel my heart up with so much joy and happiness
i think that any legitimate list of best movie lines/dialogues ever would have to have at least these three of sam's quotes. beautifully written and performed.
these are the stories that stay with us, they inspire us in every way and remind us that in dark times all we have to is decide what is the best thing we can do with our time. may they never be forgotten
The best scen is when Sam is carrying frodo up to throw the ring, according to me. I've watch this movies like 100 times now and I'm never getting tired of them. SO FKN GOOD
How to make an exciting, touching, absorbing, thought-proviking masterpiece of literature into a brilliant film masterpiece. Well done, Mr Jackson, and thank you.
Omg I remember watching this all the time as a kid when I was obsessed with these movies, this is so nostalgic, so happy this popped up in my recommended
Elijah impression of Frodo would always left me speechless. The number 1 and the one missing where Frodo say that he is happy to be with Sam at the end of all is incredible. I am emotional
i dont even care saying it that sometimes i think about how much lord of the rings saved my life and made me who i am today and cry about it to my mom i really do. thank you tolkien thank you
Sam will always be the best hero in film history. You know why? Because he shows that you dont have to be some AMAZING BUFF HOT GUY to be a hero unlike Superman and batman and all the other stereo type shit they have these days. All you have to be is willing to do the right thing. I think LOTR is a huge inspiration and is the best masterpiece ever
Totally agree
Open World Gamer Sam is a fucking hero.
Could't had said it better
Alien4131 That's why we still look at this trilogy and still see a masterpiece! These movies will never be out of time!
I don't see a almost 15 year old movie when i watch The Fellowship, i see something truly awesome!
If you show any of the LOTR-movies to someone who have never seen them, and ask them to guess how old they are. There is no way in bloody hell they are going to guess "around 15"
Look at batman, particulary look at the old batman movies, even tho they were made to be a certain way, no one is taking them serious today. Even Batman Begins with C.Bale starts to feel a bit old.
*Lord* *of* *The* *Ring* *may* *one* *day* *get* *old,* *but* *it's* *not* *this* *day!*
Crafoord V Passion and love never gets old, and that's what these types of movies were made of :)
It leaves you speechless because of how perfect this trilogy is. The last scene is one the best scenes in film history. The setting, the music, the emotion. Unbelievable

Missed one of the best ones. "Never thought I would die

"What about side by with a friend" - "Aye. I could do that"
I... I can do that.

That’s exactly right I couldn’t have said it better myself
"Frodo wouldn't have gone far without Sam" DAMN STRAIGHT
And SAM wouldn't have gotten far without Froddo and GOLLUM
To which Sam replies that he was being serious then Frodo says he's also being serious then I cry like a bitch for 5 minutes.
This is true, but while Sam was the caring, protective friend who saved Frodo many times, Sam wouldn't have gotten far if Frodo wasn't the one who was carrying the torturous ring.
@Samuel Astic he was the one who showed them the way
DEAR GOD THIS TRILOGY IS PERFECT
Yes!!!! I agree
Yes, yes it is!
analothor FREAKING AMAZING
best ever
Johann Wolf You have to consider that the movie makers can't include every event which tolkien has foreseen. Sure Tom Bombadil would have been amazing in the scene but there is no connection to the trilogy so nonsense.
Dude just join us and say THIS TRILOGY IS BADASSSS
No movies like these will ever be made. Ever.
Your right. Once in a lifetime films.
I love sam's speech, you know its a tearjerker when even gollum looks sad.
Frodo and Sam resemble what real friendship is. I think these days its very hard to find real friends
I totallg agree with you. To find a real friend is very hard these days
I totally agree with you. Real friendship is a rare thing these days
Totaly agree with you
Alien4131 Yes... X,3
But it exists.
For someone who has been alone his entire life, it warms my heart to see the friendship of Frodo and Sam.

The ending of LOTR 3 was just too emotional and that's something coming from someone with quite a cold heart.

Someone characterizing Gandalf an old-man, Sam and Frodo gay, and Theoden a Noob, that person IS cold-hearted!

I know!! That scene surprised me ...i didnt expect sam to do that..so awesome.
I got shivers from when I saw Shelob.

I watched this movie back in 2003 at the cinemas I was only about 7 years old at the time and man I cried when I saw how brave Sam was. That is true friendship how he helps Frodo.
never read the books?
That last scene with Sam is just ridiculously good. I can't see these scenes without tearing up, there isn't a better trilogy.
amazingly done i loved sam's speech when it touched Gollum's heart for a moment
I like Sam's speech to Frodo too. I listen to it whenever I am going through a tough time it gives me another dose of courage.
Yes, makes him think about it. But only for a moment. His glance is empty. There's nothing he has or he remembers that's good or worthy in his eyes. So worthy that it's greater than him, nothing to believe in.
i think it reminds him that he may no longer be part of that good or part of what is worth fighting for
he remembers it and he yearns for it but it is not the path that he is on and he knows that
idk juzt my take
Shemgols heart gollum didn't come back till the end remember when shemgol told gollum to go away
Same here. Gollum was literally emotional.
Too many good scenes to fit in a top 5 or even a top 20
someone should make a top 50
Whole film is top scene
Ján Mikušinec apart from ents and elves
top 3, the fellowship of the ring the two towers and the return of the king
one of my favorite moments
"FROODOOO!"
"I am here, Sam"
"Destroy it! Let it go!"
*silence*
*blank stare*
*the ring whispers*
*Frodo turns around*
"The ring is MINE"
*puts on ring and vanishes*
I love how in the movie filled with epic battle scenes and gorgeous special effects the best scenes are dialogues and monologues
That's the awesomeness of this story. I love medieval fantasy theme, with orcs and shit, yet when I think about LOTR all that comes to mind is scenes like these, great speeches and meaningful backstory.

GANDALF: White shores, and beyond, a far green country under a swift sunrise.
PIPPIN: Well, that isn't so bad.
GANDALF: No. No, it isn't
beautiful...
And I love how the play the music of the Grey Havens as Gandalf makes the speech. Amazing foreshadowing .
gandalfs speech in moria is my favorite. And when Frodo remembers it on the shores of Anduin is amazing. These will always be the greatest movies of all time.
Might not be a speech, but Aragorn bowing to the hobbits in the end is one of the best things in movie history
“My friends, you bow to no one”
I’m just trying to imagine the sheer will and determination it took for an exhausted, famished Sam, to carry Frodo. Although small, hobbits were known to be quite plump
They both must be very skinny at the end of their journey
I love this list but I have to say my favorite scene is you bow to No one, I get a lump in my throught every time.
couldnt agree with u more!
Mine is "I made a promise, Mr. Frodo! A promise! "Don't you leave him Samwise Gamgee..." And I don't mean to."
i also love the scene where Eowyn fights the Witch King of Angmar and he says:"FOOL, no man kan kill ME!" and then she pulls her helmet of and says:"i am no MAN!" and kills him
but i also love you named ;w; i think there are a hundred lines in lord of the rings that make you get a lumb in your throat and many scenes that will make you gulp.. it is just epic!
Throat?
That is also one of my favorites. Man, there are so many good scenes I can't really pick one favorite, but this one is near the top of my list
Game of Thrones is such an amazing story. But I feel this is what it lacks. The Poetic Beauty of LOTR.
Taste Lard i feel like that has to do more with the realism aspect that everything can change for the good or bad with no apparent reason
I feel you, LOTR is my all time favorite. But GOT hasn't finished yet, give GRRa chance. Even if he doesn't do it on a grand scale he put forth a grand story even if it is not complete and might as well be never finished.
RJ Tiger I’ve come from the future to apologize on behalf of all game of thrones fans. It didn’t live up to the hype. I’m sorry my friend.
@@crotascleanupcrew3683 I am talking about the books moron, not that you even picked up a book in your life.
RJ Tiger my man... chill
It's been over four years now, and I'd like to thank everybody who commented on the top 5, but there are certain things I feel I ought to straighten out. First of all, some of you criticised the video because it lacked some scenes that you personally find the best. I still believe that these scenes are the ones that create the whole magic, make every Tolkien geek remember what the whole trilogy is about -> “The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it still grows...
...perhaps the greater.” J. R. R. Tolkien
Cheers!
Gamgeefux You are right. The best book and also a film.
Gamgeefux I appreciate your reasoning somewhat, but I just think some diversity could've been had. All of these scenes are just so similar. I feel like Helm's Deep has to be in any list of the best scenes in the movie, it was just incredible, same with the arrival of the Rohirrim at Minas Tirith.
I do agree with the inclusion of 4 and 3 definitely. I love 3. I think 2 has some very nice dialogue, but it just felt stale after having already watched 5 - 3. Not a huge fan of 1.
Still, I respect your reasoning.
+Gamgeefux My personal best
9) Sam and Frodo in Osgiliath
8) Sam and Frodo in the end of ''Fellowship of the Rings''
7) Theoden thinking out loud in Helm's Deep
6) Frodo and Sam after the destruction of the Ring, outside Mount Doom
5) Gandalf and Frodo in Moria
4) Ride of the Rohirrim
3) Boromir's Death
2) Gandalf the Gray's Death
1) Aragorn's Speech at the Black Gate
xD
How do you pick up the threads of an old life?
What do you mean? Number 1 is the best scene in movie history.
God, #2 was tear jerking.
I would have added the scene at the end of FotR where Frodo and Sam are about to take off on their journey alone, at the river. That was incredibly moving.
I love how a lot of their acting comes through their eyes...it's like the expression of their eyes does all the acting and can express so many words without saying anything
I don't think you could ever have a better friend than samwise. these guys chose right when they chose the # 1 scene. It reminds me how God is willing to carry our burdens.
Amen
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (and especially the Return of the King), deserved the oscars that they won. The chills...every time.
sam is the real hero for me... frodo wouldn't even have come half the way without sam.. Samweis the brave :)
Yep Sam sure is just like the way he fought Shelob and rescued Frodo from the Cirith Ungol tower.
Korra Frodo's burden was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay heavier. They're both heroes in their own ways.
Alexandre Tostes well, of course, i know that. but however, in my opinion sam was the one that i consider chief hero, which Tolkien actually stated himself. though of course it is right that frodo carried a heavier burden.
what i find remarkable about sam though is that he gives back the ring to frodo voluntarily, which is something even Aragorn had to fight with. and Galadriel didn't dare touch it. but a normal gardener could bear the ring (yes, sam is considered a ring bearer) and could give it back to frodo out of free will. the only other one i saw do something similar was Bilbo,
also, whatever happened sam never lost hope but kept going and he supported frodo so he could go on. he is loyal enough to even follow frodo into the west at the end of his life (at least it was at the end of his life if i remember correctly)
so i agree with you, yes, but i as well think that both are heroes, but sam is the chief to me, *just my opinion, others can have different, and actually i didn't want to turn this into a chain in the first place, so future people reading this, know it is an opinion from one person among many who does not want to get caught up in a heated argument which ends in the people bashing in their heads over trivial matters, for no good reasons, who don't listen to each other until it just consists of people throwing swear words at each other for which you don't need any intelligence whatsoever.... because for each of those messages i get a notification, and god it gets annoying^^ i am not saying that you are one of them, i am not saying the future readers are of that kind, but i do not want to risk it. so please, be decent everybody and respect that.* (this is so that no one can overread this)
kenneth mcgriff yes, the relationship indeed *is* very interesting, as well as the character development of both, i agree with you :)
Korra He probably wouldn't of have made even the quarter of the way without Sam. Frodo is so lucky to have a friend like Sam :)
No... Jesse you have to study for finals... YOU HAVE TO! You don't have time to watch all three movies in one da- ... Awe damnit go ahead...
I can relate to this. Same name, same actions. Are you my clone?
To me I think Sam is the real hero of The Lord of the rings
Samweis the Brave. Frodo wouldn't have gone far without Sam.
Legolas...
Thats what Tolkien believed too,
Actually, JRR Tolkien considered Sam the absolute true hero of The Lord of the Rings trilogy for the countless of times he helped, hoped for, and saved Frodo, the ring bearer. More importantly, he was his friend; a true one. Such an amazing story isn't it?!
Xfusion201 it is absolutely a beautiful and amazing story.
I feel the coronation of Aragorn should be in here to, but the problem is, there are too many amazing scenes in the Lord of the Rings!
Holy fuck I cry every time 😢. This is just that one movie I wish I could unsee, just to experience it for the first time all over again. I don't know if its nostalgia because this was a movie I saw and loved when i watched it with my family as a child, but these three movies are in my opinion, the best movies to ever exist.
If there had been another scene (like top 6), I think the scene where Gimlee was "complaining about dying alongside a dwarf and Legolas asks "how about dying beside a friend?". Wow! It could be the 6th best!
Every scene here, hit me in the feels.
"even darkness must pass" cuts to the waters cleansing Isengard *shivers*
Goosebumps "and then you see it" and "there's some good in this world and it is worth fighting for"(started crying) and "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you"(more crying) Oh God lotr are full of so emotional and beautiful scenes:')
People say I need a friend like same, in reality, we need to be like sam.
I feel like this is so applying to our world, our bright world filled with darkness... I beleive one day the world will shine!
White shores...and beyond. "That doesnt sound so bad" ...no...no , it doesnt
I always tear up so much when Frodo says, "Frodo wouldn't have gone far without Sam." I guess it just reminds me of how without some of the most important people in my life, I wouldn't have gotten to where I am today.
Sam is the most likeable character in movie history. He made the lord of the rings to that what it is: the best trilogy ever made. Cheers to sean astin and all the other amazing actors. Damnn... Lotr will always be a part of me..
"That's not so bad..."
Oh Pippin, you're awesome ! :D
The score is always right on point
Sam is the best hero for me, because even though he wasn’t the main character or the greatest warrior, he saves Frodo. And he is as important as the other characters and it shows his struggles as well as everyone else 🥰 the main characters in films wouldn’t have been able to get through tough things without their friends so it really emphasizes how important they are 🥰
amazing actors all of them but at the end of the day the real hero with his huge and bestifull mind who was able to write this emotional story offcourse sir Tolkien thank you
i need a Gandalf in my life
Adri
Jesus
Adri me too
My feels ;_; This really shows that the best scenes aren't always the most exciting (Rohirrim Charge, anyone?) but the quieter moments with emotion and meaning behind them :)
Sam is the true hero who save 'em all, because he has courage to follow his friend and his hearth where no one else would go.
I know this book was written by a devout christian man, but can we just take a moment to think about sam's quote in the last scene, "I can't carry it for you, but i can carry you." How much does that reflect how christians believe God interacts with us. We may be tried throughout our lives, but it is God who can carry us through. Beautiful writing Mr. Tolkien.
"a far green country under a swift sunrise"... gives me peace
I CAN'T CARRY IT FOR YOU... BUT I CAN CARRY YOU
I get goosebumps at #4 when Sam says: "... But in the end, its only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer..." Such powerful writing. Also very true to life.
Thank you so much for not just doing a bunch of fight scenes. These are all brilliant pieces of dialogue! Thank you Tolkien for bringing us this world!
They made 3 movies out of the Hobbit. To think there could have been 9 LOTR movies
It should have been made into 6 IMO.
best movie ever!! I'm simply in love with this movie!!
Most amazing trilogy I have ever seen... The storyline and production of this movie is inspiring and it will always be a master piece.. I would like to create something like this in the future ..
Loved the fact that this didn't focus on the battle and action, but the true heartfelt parts of this magnificent story.
The best scene for me is
"Gondor calls for aid!"
"And Rohan will answer!"
This is when Men, who must assume the stewardship of Middle Earth finally come together, and then the payoff at Pelannor Fields just when all hope fades the cavalry literally arrive in the nick of time and rout Mordor. Théoden realises that Men must unite to fight despite the odds. The Elves are leaving, the Dwarves are isolationists, as are hobbits and with orcs/goblins/Uruk-Hai and Nazgul defeated Men (whose hearts are easily corrupted to quote Galadriel) finally prove to be Isildur's redemption.
Sam is my favourite character definitely...Well, after gollum.
TO TASTE A FISH SO JUICY SWWEEEEETT!!!
Sam has always been the protagonist for me. It’s a reminder that sometimes the most noble people don’t always get the spotlight
An amazing choice of scenes, really. They're all really deep and intense. It's so good to see them again in HD.
i need no superman, no batman or someone else. Sam is the hero! every time i watch LOTR, sam made my day
#Samwise Gamgee
I cant carry it for you ....but i can carry you!
I base my life on Lord of the rings,
Like samwise quotes, " there's some good on this world and it's worth fighting for"
I read once that Tolkien based Sam on the British soldiers he met in the trenches in World War 1, particularly the batmen - the soldiers assigned as servants for the officers.
Loyal and enormously capable, Tolkien greatly admired them.
Such an amazing list because it focused on the most moving and impactful scenes. Yes, the Ride of the Rohirrim, Eomere at Helms Deep, “You! Shall Not! PASS!”, “For Frodo” at the Black Gate, etc. are all AMAZING scenes, but I respect that this list chose to focus on the lesser-appreciated scenes that are less action-oriented. Sams speech to Frodo on the slopes of Mount Doom is arguably the most moving 90 seconds of film in history
Number 4 should be number 1 in my opinion. I'm sure there are others that share my opinion :) By far the stand out line.
Yep it taught me a lot :)
"Death is just a path....." :)
Personally number 3 is my favorite. It shows us that we should not fear death for we will all face it one day down the road.
Thedarklord Morgoth *another path"
yeah 4 is also my favorite and the most important scene because it basically says that the eru all meant this to happen.
The #2 scene... you will not make me cry today.
.... I lied. I cri errtiem. :(
+Kris Prasad We all did!
The way he delivers "Come on!" Always got to me watching these movies growing up, like it's the absolute sound of determination and it's inspiring.
The scene that I would add is the famous
"My friends, you bow to no one"
Damn, that scene...
0:45 YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAINNNNN
Why is it so wrong to put down our weapons and live in a world without so much pain and hurt...
Gurdev Suwali It's not. Like Gandalf said, true courage comes in knowing not when to take a life, but when to spare one. However, I believe true courage comes in the form of our everyday interactions, whether it's greeting a neighbor, or even doing kind things for one another. People seem to equate courage with weapons and defending the weak. While defending the weak is a form of courage, it's not really true courage.
I was at the fourth, thinking how could this possibly not be THE best scene?! Then I saw it. You are right and this is the perfect collection.
Oh Goodness! Those lines are touching! It was not just an epic fantasy story but it was a story of friendship, courage, hope and bravery to stand firm against evil and a strong faith that after all, it'll come to an end either good or bad as long as you remained fighting.
Samwise da real MVP
But you missed "And My Axe"
Grimm XDDDD
omg!!! I LOVE LOTR. I have seen all the movies at least 50 times. I cannot get enough of them. They just feel my heart up with so much joy and happiness
Some of these scenes make me feel so vulnerable I cry. I'll always cherish this story.
More like the 5 sappiest scenes in Lord of the Rings.
limemobber Yeah, but then there are sentimental, sensitive LotR geeks and LotR battles movie fans xd
the forth one is the best and its so true
Duran's Bane , ur stupid there's only three the hobbit is not the lord of the rings
I think he meant the fourth best moment 😂
i think that any legitimate list of best movie lines/dialogues ever would have to have at least these three of sam's quotes. beautifully written and performed.
these are the stories that stay with us, they inspire us in every way and remind us that in dark times all we have to is decide what is the best thing we can do with our time. may they never be forgotten
Makes me feel like i wanna have a dump hahah
Ha!! Gay!!!
just kidding...loooove these masterpieces
I thnk carrying Frodo up that last leg of their journey is the most heroic act of any fantasy book, or film ive ever seen.
The best scen is when Sam is carrying frodo up to throw the ring, according to me. I've watch this movies like 100 times now and I'm never getting tired of them. SO FKN GOOD
How to make an exciting, touching, absorbing, thought-proviking masterpiece of literature into a brilliant film masterpiece.
Well done, Mr Jackson, and thank you.
Aaaand I'm bawlin'. These films capture the essence of the books so well -- especially Sam and Frodo. So heartwarming!
Nice to see that the actual 5 best scenes were picked not just random fight scenes
Omg I remember watching this all the time as a kid when I was obsessed with these movies, this is so nostalgic, so happy this popped up in my recommended
These scenes (along with many others) are what Lord of the Rings is all about! :)
Even if you only saw the scenes with Frodo & Sam - It would still be an epic masterpiece.
Oh dear goodness. The amount I cried at "I can't carry it for you...BUT I CAN CARRY YOU"
Elijah impression of Frodo would always left me speechless. The number 1 and the one missing where Frodo say that he is happy to be with Sam at the end of all is incredible. I am emotional
So many decades has this story stood and cant wait for all the rest it stands
i dont even care saying it that sometimes i think about how much lord of the rings saved my life and made me who i am today and cry about it to my mom i really do. thank you tolkien thank you
This line perfectly summed up why Frodo and Sam needed each other, "I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you."
The message of this tale is so smack bang. I cant watch any LOTR films without crying.
