Anyone who knows Johnny knows how much he reveres the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Absolutely phenomenal work by director Peter Jackson. Slavish attention to detail in the look and feel of the costumes, to the buildings to the languages that exist throughout Middle Earth. An epic work of spectacular filmmaking. But, Johnny's difficulty is choosing a clip to represent the almost 13 hours of the three films. He's going to choose one that was deleted from the original version of Return of the King, The Mouth of Sauron. When the Fellowship approached the Black Gate before the final battle in the extended version of the movie, they were met by Sauron's intermediary and treater. He had something for them they were not expecting. Johnny's selecting this clip because many may not have seen this scene.
If one takes all three movies as one large piece of work, a case could be made this to be Hollywood's best 'film' ever.

That thing is foul!!!
And nightmare-worthy.
You know it. In the book he's not beheaded, he merely negotiates and vanishes back behind the black gate. But all these years of having read the books and imagining what the Mouth of Sauron may look like, this is far more evil, and that voice, whoa
