(Faramir, after capturing Gollum): "Nice work, boys, Now kick him in the precious!"

(Theoden is at Helm's Deep, putting on armour and backlit by dazzling white light): "Of course, the whole battle is irrelevant, what with the giant supernova engulfing the Earth!"

(After Eomer has given horses to Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli):  "Hey, thanks for the two horses!  Thanks from all three of us!"

"Look!  A tiny fraction of the people who stayed away from Speed Racer."  One of the many that made me laugh out loud.

This is one of the best riffs yet, and very impressive because they put in as much work as any two normal tracks because of the length of the movie.

PS. I've always loved their horse impressions from back in the MST and this movie offered them many chances to do that so I loved that as well.

I'm tired from laughing so much, 3 hours of great comedy, this has to rank up there with the best riffs.

Just a few no one else has mentioned:

Perfect use of:   SLEEEEEP!!!

To Sauramon in the tower: You're not funny!

All the times they chanted in unison when the warriors were all doing something in unison, great stuff.

Oh, almost forgot:  Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! Bacon! Bacon!

Okay, being from Cincinnati, now I can't wait to see it, if only to hear the comment about our beloved (*hack, cough*) recipes.  What?  You mean you DON'T put chocolate and cinnamon in your chili?

This joke is made even better for me for the fact that I actually have posted my recipe on the forum, and I was actually eating it when I heard the riff.  I could have choked!

Lots of great lines and I'm only an hour in but what really floored me was the Zappos reference!  I guess you either know what Zappos is or you don't, I'm guessing Mike or his wife bought some shoes from them.  Mike, as someone who spent two years working for Zappos let me tell you, you were right, it actually is a magical Elf kingdom.  And it is just as gay as that sounds.

Okay I watched it, without a doubt the line that made me laugh the most was "Honeysuckle!"  that was the gayest voice I have ever heard.  The most clever riff was in my opinion when they would groan whenever an ent scene would start...it was perfect, not over the top.  Great Job!

Is there a city anywhere that doesn't have a Front Street?  And are any of them easy to find?  I've only ever been to one town where Front Street was actually at the front.
Could be a specific reference, but I think it plays more than one way.

Ironic thing is, the last time Tom used it in MST3K itself (I forget the episode) Crow or Mike commented something like, "Wow, that's an old chestnut."

There were a ton, but the one that I will always remember was when Aragon put his head down on the rock & Mike says something along the lines of "Hey, he's listening to modern rock." It was an easy simple riff that I probably would have over looked if I was writing jokes for this film.

I kept rewinding that part just because the "eeEEEEeeEEeeEEEeee" cracks me up every time (loved 2001!).  :D

"That is one of the Mearas [referring to Shadowfax], unless my eyes are cheated by some spell."

"Well, I'd say your eyes are cheated by some spell then, 'cause where I come from we call that a horse."

Good rendition of the Blazing Saddles theme (favorite movie of all time) afterwards, too!  ;D

Here's a web page which talks about the "SLEEP" references in MST3k (you'd want to read through the responses too).  I think they just picked it up from Bela Lugosi films, even before MST3k had riffed any of those films:
