I really like Shawnshank Redemption as well, Chrischa! It's up there with movies like Schindler's List etc in my 'All-time Favourites' list.
I never really got into the Matrix movies (actually I hated them and am disgusted my son wants to wear a Matrix-inspired suit to his high school formal this year...the big question is, will I let him?!). I also have to admit that Hugo Weaving is one of my least favourite actors, right next to Guy Pearce...which is really sad, seeing as they're both Aussies!
As far as the Lord of the Rings MOVIES go, I hereby must confess that pretty much my entire focus was concentrated on Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn , and not so much on the book to film adaptation, or even the film itself *gasp*!!
As well as The Man from Snowy River, I remember The Power of One being a favourite movie when I was a kid but I've never been able to source a copy so I could view it again as an adult. I did purchase the book quite a few years ago though and I really enjoyed it, along with its sequel, Tandia. If only I could compare the book and film versions...
