I would argue that Jackson really hasn't gone Hollywood... He has more money to play with (not always a bad thing) but his style has remained intact. He had final cut on his films and controlled almost every aspect of the production and marketing of the LOTR films... but I know where you are coming from on this...
Check out Heavenly Creatures and even The Frighteners (not his best work but still pretty amusing).
