I don't cry in public... but I've come close, watching the Boromir Death Scene. Don't know how I'm going to get through Two Towers... 'The Choice of Master Samwise' generally makes me cry anyway, and I'll bet that scene will be brilliant, don't you think?

Yes, I do. I also rather think that [SPOILER WARNING! SPOILER WARNING!] one of the most tragic scenes in the entire trilogy, where Smeagol and Gollum fight it out, only to be turned just the wrong way at just the wrong moment by Sam's innocent suspicion, could be gut-wrenching.

I think Jackson's done a masterful job, all of my quibbles aside. And what's reassuring is the knowledge that Jackson filmed all three at the same time. So if the first was good (and it was!), odds are the other two will be at least as good -- and you know they'll have the same fine actors at the foundation. Can't wait!

I cry every time they show Pippin sobbing in Merry's lap, after Gandalf falls into the abyss. Jackson got across to me that Pippin felt responsible, after knocking all that stuff down the shaft.
