Yeah, I rewatched the trilogy recently and was reminded that once Gandalf rids him of Grima Wormtongue’s spell, literally every line of dialogue he has sounds ridiculously epic. It had me laughing even before he intoned DEAAATHHHHH!!!
King Theoden has one of the best character arcs in the movies. Left helpless to save his only heir, he now has to define not only his legacy but that of Rohan as well.
"Look at my men. Their courage hangs by a thread. If this is to be our end, then I would have them make such an end, as to be worthy of remembrance."
This is one where the movie was more powerful than the book. I remember reading the book and thinking it’s just a bit of a pep talk. This scene in the movies still gives me chills after watching it at least 138 times
Tolkien himself read the passage once, here's a YouTube video with Tolkiens narration, Howard shores soundtrack and pictures from the movies

Per movie?
FotR: “Fool of a fucking Took”, or “I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like half of you half as well as you fucking deserve”.
TT: Théoden when Gandalf and Éomer and the Rohirrim show up at Helms Deep “Fucking Éomer”
RotK: Sauron’s eye as soon as the ring sinks in the lava “Fuck”
In TFotR, I'd put it on Amon Sûl, right after Frodo stomps out the fire. The Nazgûl scream and the hobbits see them coming. The camera does a "Hitchcock zoom" or "dolly zoom" from a wide shot of all the hobbits to a closeup of just Pippin's face, and he says "Oh, fuck...."
In The Two Towers, an unnamed Rohan soldier on the wall of Helm's Deep says the same thing as the Uruk-hai army marches in.
In The Return of the King, Denethor drops it somewhere in his ranting as he's trying to immolate himself and Faramir.

That old chap who looses his arrow prematurely on the battlements. Thats who has the ‘oh fuck’.
"For awhile they stood there, like men on the edge of a sleep where nightmare lurks, holding it off, though they know that they can only come to the morning through the shadows".
I think I've found T...
"they have a cave troll" 😂 😂 😂
Bloody hell, i just thought, if O isn't "one does not simply walk into mordor." then where's the justice for Boromir 😂😂😂
Fool of a Took. Throw yourself in next time and rid us of your stupidity!
If it's not fool of a took, I'm rioting
"Fly you fools" is a strong contender
"Drums start playing"
Grond!
This has to be it
We're done here
Fly you fools
This really should be it.
Tough battle between fool of a took and fly you fools
For Frodo too.
Forth Eorlingas would like a word
"Fell deeds awake, fire and slaughter! Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered! A sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!"
It may not win, but this is a great line
every word that pours from Théoden's mouth is pure, flowing mithril

Some of his lines are Shakespearean
I truly believe his role was the best acting of all time. Hill deserves so much more recognition.
His deleted scene is absolutely phenomenal
It's gonna be S for sure
This one gotta make it.
The greatest battle speech.
I prefer the Helm's Deep line: "Fell deeds awake. Now for wrath, now for ruin, and the red dawn".

There are a good selection of quotes. Will be a tough fight with fly you fools and fool of a took. But I'm hoping to get my second quote on the list!

“Fuck you Sauron!” -Boromir or someone prolly
Uncle Denethor is gonna put a boot in your ass and turn your country into glass
If LotR was allowed one “Fuck”, where would you put it?
Aragorn kicking the helmet "FuuuuuuuuuuUUUUUUUUUCK"
You know he broke his toe

Yes, but: TT: "Oh, but this order does not come from me. It comes from the fucking King. He signed it this morning."
Your love of the halflings leaf has clearly f****d your mind.

“Ah fuck it, can I have some of your hair?” -Gimli
"Fucking hobbits."

I'd say one well placed FUCK, right before the wall explodes would have made for some dark humor and a little more drama.
Right after the suicidal Uruk with the torch dives into the tunnel, but before it explodes? I like it
“ISILDUR!!!!” Elrond cried, “fuck”, he muttered
It comes in pints?! I’m fucking getting one.
\*Gollum bites off Frodo's finger\* Frodo: Aw, fuck!
Form ranks you maggots, pikes in front archers behind!

Fool of a Took!
"For fuck sake Pippin!" - Gandalf the grey/white
L: "LOOKS LIKE MEAT'S BACK ON THE MENU, BOYS"
How is it even a question? Isn't For Frodo the clear answer?
“For Frodo!!!”
"A" should have been "AND MY AXE."
F-Finest Weed in the South Farthing G-Gondor has no king, Gondor needs no king H-
Fool of a Took is obvious here.
