Adjusting My Film Timeline

Okay, this is what I had the last time I revised my "Tale of Years" for the films:
1000: About this time, the Istari arrive in Middle-earth. Lord Círdan gives the Ring of Fire to Mithrandir (Gandalf the Grey).
1050: The Wood-elves emigrate to the north of Greenwood; the Halls of the Elvenking are constructed in imitation of the underground halls of Menegroth.
1100: The Wise (the Istari and the chief Eldar) view Dol Guldur as a threat if it should be reclaimed by servants of the Enemy. Radagast the Brown takes up residence in Rhosgobel nearby at the eaves of the Greenwood.
1974: End of the North-kingdom. The Witch-king overruns Arthedain and takes Fornost.
1975: King Arvedui of Arthedain drowned in the Bay of Forochel. The Witch-king is nearly defeated at the Battle of Fornost until the rest of the Nine come to his defense. The Kingdom of Angmar is pushed back, but persists for another five centuries. At some time between 1975 and 2300 Angmar makes war upon the Woodland Realm and the Elf-queen is killed in Gundabad.
2340: The Wood-elf Tauriel born.
2463: The White Council is formed. The Nine are defeated by the Dúnedain (possibly with the aid of the Wise) and are entombed at the High Fells in Rhudaur. About this time Déagol the Stoor finds the One Ring and is murdered by Sméagol.
After this discussion, I'm prepared to make some more additions and changes:
2043: Eärnur becomes King of Gondor. He is challenged by the Witch-king.
2050: The challenge is renewed. Eärnur rides to Angmar and is lost. Mardil becomes the first Ruling Steward.The Nazgûl issue from Angmar and besiege Minas Ithil.
2052: Fall of Minas Ithil, afterwards known as Minas Morgul. The palantír is captured.
2463: The White Council is formed. About this time Déagol the Stoor finds the One Ring and is murdered by Sméagol.
2540: About this time the Nine are defeated by the Dúnedain (possibly with the aid of the Wise) and are entombed at the High Fells in Rhudaur.
Note that I place the fall of Minas Ithil after the disappearance of Eärnur. I think that for our purposes we need to keep the Witch-king in Angmar. The Nine take advantage of the loss of King Eärnur to besiege Minas Ithil. Perhaps Khamul afterwards commands Minas Morgul.
