Several scenes come right to mind -- from the book, since they were changed or omitted on film:
The Prancing Pony scene, where the hobbits meet Strider. (I really hate the omission of almost all of the music from the books in the movie, and Frodo dancing on the table is a sore lack.)
Yeah, I'll admit it: Tom Bombadil and Goldberry. I understand why they were left out of the flick. That doesn't mean I don't miss them, or love them in the book.
The Ents, in both the books and Jackson's version. I cry for the Ents, and mourn the loss of the Entwives.
I love the Paths of the Dead scenes, in both written and visual versions, but, again, I think Tolkien told it better. (Tolkien was a terrific storyteller. Not so great as a writer, per se, but his tale is compelling, and many of the adaptations to film, though understandable, are weaker than the original.)
I'll leave the rest for the gang to come that will surely name the entire plot, among them :-)
