* [[Audible Sharpness]]: Any time a sword is pulled out of a leather scabbard, with a metal-on-metal sound effect. Lampshaded in the DVD audio commentaries: they originally wanted to do it realistically, but [[Enforced Trope|they put them in]] after [[Reality Is Unrealistic|test audiences reacted badly]], as our subconcious is trained on and used to the trope. |

* [[Award Bait Song]]: The films gave us three stellar [[Tear Jerker]] examples: "May It Be" and "In Dreams" from ''Fellowship of the Ring'' and "Into the West" from ''The Return Of The King''. "May it Be" was nominated for an for Oscar, "Into the West" was nominated and won. "Gollum's Song" from ''The Two Towers'' averts the trope by being in a minor key, having a much darker tone, and being sung in a dissonent, shrill voice. |

* [[Awesome Moment of Crowning]]: ''The Return Of The King'' was pretty much all about getting to this moment, since Aragorn was the rightful ruler all along. And in the end of the movie, the coronation gets a good five minutes and a reunion for Aragorn and Arwen, which makes it an almost perfect [[Awesome Moment of Crowning]]. |
