I don't agree with you because you forgot the biggest change of all in the movie is that the elves came to the Hornburg with some 200 elves. Don't get me wrong here I really loved that moment in the film, but it is totally different in the book. Also Eomer doesn't come to the rescue in the book it is Gandalf who rallies most of the scattered troops who fought in the battle of the Fords of Isen. The battle at Helm's Deep is rather short in the book, but it is the climax and largest part of the movie. If the movie had been true to the book Boromir would have died in the Two Towers. Shelob should also have been in the Two Towers. You also forgot that Faramir took Frodo, Sam and Gollum to Osgiliath which never happened in the book. You may be right that the Fellowship wasn´t the movie that stayed closest to the books, but then again none of them really stayed close to the books.
