"Wraiths on Wings"

...the shadow of horror wheeled and returned, passing lower now, right above them, sweeping the fen-reek with its ghastly wings. And then it was gone, flying back to Mordor with the speed of the wrath of Sauron; and behind it the wind roared away, leaving the Dead Marshes bare and bleak.

"The Siege of Gondor"

The Nazgûl came again, and as their Dark Lord now grew and put forth his strength, so their voices, which uttered only his will and his malice, were filled with evil and horror.

We come to it at last! The Great Battle for Middle-earth!
The Siege of Gondor and subsequent Battle of Pelennor Fields comprise in my opinion not only THE Lord of the Rings battle, but also the greatest battle scene ever put to screen. It is so epic, so grand, so long, that counting this one, four of my top Return of the King moments happen while it rages on. And what better moment to start than one of my favorite sequences in the whole trilogy: the Nazgûl, all nine gathered together, swooping down upon Minas Tirith, accompanied as ever by an amazing, hellish chorus. It really gives the feeling that all hell has been set loose on the White City, last bastion of freedom and hope in Middle-earth.
