So, it was me, who had too much free time to count the flashbacks. Or at least those in FotR and TTT EE. And the final count is 16 (If I haven't forgotten anything).
Here they are:
FotR:

Prologue
Bag End: Gandalf talking to Frodo: flashback to Gollum in Barad-Dur
Rivendell: fb to Gandalf's escape
Rivendell: Elrond talking with Gandalf: fb to Isildur and Mount Doom
Anduin: the gift-giving scene

TTT:

Gandalf fights the Balrog
Rohan: Aragorn tracking the hobbits: flashback to Pippin at the orcs' camp
Rohan: Aragorn tracking the hobbits: 3 separate flashbacks -> hobbits meet Treebeard
Fangorn: 3 Hunters meet Gandalf: fb to Gandalf fighting the Balrog
Going to Helm's Deep: Aragorn's dream flashback to Arwen in Rivendell
Going to Helm's Deep: Eowyn talking to Aragorn: fb to Elrond conversing with Aragorn and Aragorn conversing with Arwen ("our time here is ending...")
Rivendell: Elrond talking with Arwen: flashforward to Aragorn's death
Ithilien: Faramir thinking: Faramir sees Boromir's boat floating by
Ithilien: Faramir thinking: the victory of Osgiliath

What do you say about that?
