I think it's interesting that you've picked 2 recent films that have already dated a lot.

I can't speak to Tigers and Dragons, but Tower and Tower hasn't dated.

I love both movies, but Two Towers was the best of the LOTR trilogy, featured the tremendous elf army entrance and the ensuing battle. Two great movies but I'd have to give the slight edge to Two Towers.

As I just explained to my stupid-head roommate:

Balrog fight
Ents
Ents flooding that big tower place
Gollum
Gollum in that huge long take at the end of the movie
That big fight at that place in the mountains
Wargs
Running/walking places
