So, if you haven't gone to see Return of the King yet, you should climb out from under your rock, and go see it. Repeatedly.
I've seen it twice so far, once at Trilogy Tuesday, the day long screening of all three movies back on December 16th, and once this past weekend.
After watching the first movie again, I commented to jjohn, "Wow, Saurman's a dick!" From this simple comment, we decided to come up with a "Dick" list for the characters in the movies.
So, without further ado, here it is:
Saurman: Pure dick
Frodo: Can be dicky, because of the Ring.
Sam: Dick to Gollum
Smeagol/Gollum: Precious Dick
Sauron: The One True Dick.
Faramir: Was a dick, but got better.
Denethor: MEGA-dick, dick!
Aragorn: Not a dick, unless you're orc or uruk
Legolas: Not a dick.
Gimli: Dick to the elf.
Balrog: Ancient dick
Theoden: Dick through Saurman, but not a dick on his own.
Wormtongue: Tool of a dick
Boromir: Dick by proxy, (see Denethor).
Gandalf: not a dick, unless you screw with his fireworks or attract foes to his party
Sackville-Baggins: dicks
Old Gaffer: not a dick, but only liked by Sam
Galadriel: very nearly a Big Dick
Celeborn: useless dick
Elrond: not a dick, but not really helpful either
Treebeard: a dick to axe wielders
The Nazgul WitchKing: total dick
Tom Bombadil: missing dick
If you have anything you'd like to add, feel free.
Judging by how close the battle was, all would have been lost - Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, you know, pivotal characters like them - without the elvish assistance.

I believe the elves were more from Galadriel than from Elrond. I would have liked to see Elrond do more, perhaps stay with Rohan after delivering Andruil.But hey, that's just me.
