Aww man I just love that whole trilogy. I rewatched them a while back to see if it was just nostalgia but for me, they hold up brilliantly. The best set of 3 movies ever for me and no blockbuster before or since has quite had a big "set piece" like Return of the King. Many of tried to copy the "big climatic fight" formula but none have quite managed it so well , at least for me
Speaking of music elevating scenes
I've always really loved the music for the sword fight with Zombie Septimus from Stardust.
The tone of it, the way the action is synced up really well, it's fun and jaunty but also quite sinister. It's an excellent piece of music and really fun little fight.
Cannot believe three pages of replies and I am the first one to post this. This is the definition of fight music.
