Whats sad is I don't feel any movies since have wowed me the way fellowship and then the trilogy did. including the hobbit. I want something that amazing again.

Yeah, for me LOTR holds a special place because it's something I very vividly remember watching as a kid, so I don't think any other movie would compare.

That said, my very first exposure to LOTR movie was actually a humorous dubbed version which completely twisted all the characters. I only later discovered that it was not, in fact, the real LOTR. Imagine my surprise

Used to it, had been doing it already with Star Wars references when LotR came out. But we can always admire how damn well they both still stand up, both in in movies and in meme material.

Yeah, its difficult for anything else to compete really. Both LOTR and Star Wars and fantastic and their meme potential is still going strong
