I'll second

One I can recommend is the BBC adaptation of Gormenghast. This really does leave out a lot of the book, but the sheer drama of it is well worth seeing, plus it's got a fabulous cast, including Christopher Lee as Flay.

This was an excellent film, oh most excellent! I haven't gotten my hands on the books though, which saddens me.
I also am a Star Wars fan.
And one, heretofore unmentioned: Final Fantasy. Yes, I know, they're video games not movies, but the storylines are good enough that I think at least the more recent ones should qualify. Then there's the FF movie, the Spirits Within, which I own and thoroughly enjoy. I'd love to see a film version of FFX though, and I bet it could be done if someone was inventive.
Another vote for the Wonderworks Narnia films. Particularly the Silver Chair, I love the portrayal of Puddleglum.
And last but not least, I love and always have loved the Rankin-Bass Hobbit. The Bakshi LOTR I can take or leave, and the R-B ROTK I can just plain leave, but the Hobbit I think is a classic.
Anime? I like the wildly overdramatic Vision of Escaflowne series.
