Catharsis Factor: It can be pretty satisfying to watch Gollum getting a stone thrown at his head and slashed with a sword courtesy of Sam, due to all the evil shit he did up to that point.

It also shows Grima's death and properly explains how Pippin found the seeing stone.

Better on DVD: The Extended Edition gives a satisfying conclusion to Saruman's time as The Heavy by showing him getting killed off rather than implying that he's under house arrest.

He gets a short but good fight with Eowyn that ends with her injuring him, but returns after she's crippled killing the Witch King and sends her crawling for a sword in terror, failing to get to it in time.and then Aragorn and Gimli show up and turn him into mincemeat.

An oddly well-done example with Gothmog in the Extended Edition (his final scene in the theatrical film was backing away from the Rohirrim in terror).In the theatrical release, he didn't even get that much: his death scene was cut entirely and he was not confronted at all Gandalf was content to let him rot powerlessly in his tower, despite knowing he was almost as dangerous as Sauron. Saruman, who despite getting a more formidable showing with his magical powers than his book counterpart, is still undone by an act of villainy whose consequences he didn't consider, and he's killed in an even more abrupt manner than he was in the novel.
