I particularly enjoyed Theoden refusing the offer of peace* toward the beginning of the EE.

I always found Theoden's and Aragorn's battlefield speeches on a par with both "Once more.." and "St. Crispin's Day" from Henry V.

As for the other thing, Legolas did it cooler, and didn't need a winch, a lightsaber and a grenade to do it :)

*No further information! Too soon for spoilers...

I still get choked up by Theoden's speech, but was able to manage a very vocal "oorah" after Aragorn's. Didn't have a sword to bang against a shield.
