what's interesting to me is how much I did not remember right!

I had a much different image of the Grey Havens scene, for example -- I guess based on my own experiences of being by the water -- so when the films had that very golden touch to them, and that elaborate harbor, it did not match my mind-picture at all. And then I went back and read the chapter and found out that the movie was much closer to the actual description than the way I had pictured that moment for so many years. I agree with you on the Faramir shot being very striking -- it looks like a painting until he moves, so it's almost eerie...dreamlike in impact. But I never had a clear image of that scene in my head. The image of Gandalf knocking on Bilbo's door, now, that one I could have sworn was a bit of Tolkien art come to life, but I've never been able to find any artist's version that matched it perfectly. So in that case, I do think the films nailed an image that I had in my brain, pretty much exactly the way I had stored it there!

I admit that my Middle-earth was shaped by Alan Lee's paintings,

I found it interesting that Christopher Tolkien cited John Howe and Alan Lee

I'm not sure Christopher Tolkien is complaining about any one specific art style...

The Grey Havens also looked totally different in my head

They got the harbor right, and the ship style, and the direction and the time of day...
