They are immortal ONLY if they are not killed in battle or get bored with their life and decide to die. So I guess either we've got a lot of bored elves or they aren't too good at fighting lol.
I think it's the way they move that makes 'em look so cool. I dunno... it's like they're more holy or superior or something and they don't SAY it but they LOOK it. I don't know. They just ARE i guess.
Many of the Elves have also 'gone west' effecrively taking them out of the picture.
The Eleven decline is part of why that big battle at the start of the film was known as 'The Last Alliance' between men and elves; it wasn't that they would never work together again, it was that after that there were not enough Elves left for any further co-operation to be truly known as an alliance.
Anyway, my favourite was Boromir. Come Two Towers it will probably be Eomer.
