10 Classic Movies Ruined By Just One Scene

5. The Return Of The King’s Romping Hobbit Montage

At three hours and 20 minutes long (and that’s just the theatrical cut; the extended edition is over four hours long), even the most dedicated Lord of the Rings fan was wondering when the hell The Return of the Kings was going to end especially since there were a good few points where the film could’ve quite comfortably ended but needless extra scenes were tacked on instead.

The scene in which Frodo awakens in Minas Tirith bathed in a celestial glow and 70s softcore porn focus and is reunited with his surviving Fellowship members (cue lots of slow motion smiling, laughing and homoerotic hobbit frolicking) is one of those moments.

Perhaps Peter Jackson was having a hard time saying goodbye to his beloved franchise, but it’s a bit of a gratuitous and quite embarrassingly cheesy addition to the trilogy finale.
