Aiwendil, I think you've hit the nail on the head regarding CoH. It's such an incredibly dark story with a tragic, almost quasi-Shakespearian ending (yes, I know Tolkien hated Shakespeare, but still). I think it would make a PHENOMENAL movie, if done right, but I don't trust even PJ to do that one right.
The best possibility I can see (after The Hobbit) is Beren and Luthien. It would probably have to be longer than ROTK, and again, I don't know that I'd trust PJ with it, but talk about an incredible story. Romance, adventure, treachery, heroism, and Carcharoth -- it's got it all.
But of course, there will be no Silmarillion-based movies in CJRT's lifetime. And who knows whether his heirs will be any more willing to sell film rights than he was.
