I agree one hundred percent with you. What you need to remember is the fact that, this is what always happens to the Sci-Fi and Fantasy movies. They seem to slip behind the other movies. As time goes on, these movies are remembered (as you said) while the other movies that were once popular, will be forgotten.

I think the reason this happens is because most people now want to see the action or comedy movie before they see the fantasy movie. Some of my friends who normally wouldnt see or read LotR saw the movie and liked it.

I guess thats just the way it works and we will have to deal with it. I do think LotR has been getting alot of credit though. I believe they did win 6(maybe im wrong) Emmy's. I totally agree with your point though.
