They also did not show the retreating Orcs getting swallowed up by the forest of Huorns at their backs at the battle of Helm's Deep in movie 2, and that would have been very spooky and memorable. Can't figure why they left it out.

You need the extended DVD of The Two Towers, LH. It's in that! There is also a lot more about Boromir, Faramir and Denathor which makes a lot of sense about Faramir behaving as he does.

Trouble is I now have both versions of the first 2 films and can hardly wait for the standard and extended editons of ROTK. When I get all 3 extended versions I can see myself having a 12 hour film session and emerging from the living room with square eyes:-) I can save all the interviews and 'making of's' for the next day...
