And, off the top of my head, here are my favorite aspects of the PJ films (again, in a general order of magnitude):
There are things that you like about Jackson's versions?
I will debate that with you, but I think along the same lines in terms of the Elves at Helm's Deep. I suppose how radical it is depends on what one thinks of the scene. I do think that it goes along with Tolkien's theme of the races uniting against evil, I'm just unsure why Jacksone wanted to do it.
the chapter on Tom Bombadil does nothing to advance the plot

The lack of Bombadil awesomeness.
Him I can live without, and in any case it was pretty much a foregone conclusion that he'd have to go for time. He scares me more than anything in Mordor
.
Having your soul destroyed will do that.
Mythology Changes that didn't live up to the spirit of what Tolkien envisioned (like Elves at Helms Deep).

.Elijah Wood being gay.
Wood is gay?
Elijah Wood squirming and yelping with his face filling the screen.

Um, he saves their lives.
