First off, I think that it would be virtually impossible to do the sil justice in a movie. It would push massive to the limit with the battles...man! It would be far longer than any casual viewer would like to see and therefore could not be done. I would though, love to see the last stand of the house of hador for example, of the fights with Glorfindel/balrog, Ecthelion/gothmog or maybe Fingolfin/Melkor. Also, the issuing forth of the host of Gondolin would be incredible! But not to forget the smaller stories and esp the silmarils.
