Monty, if you are talking about Bakshi's version of LotR, then I must agree that the orcs were blooming brilliant

. I was also a fan of Bakshi's Wraiths. The rotosoping effects were eerie and used to good effect. Very psychedelic.
I must differ with you though, on Jackson's Orcs. I had always pictured orcs as kind of like Neanderthal Elves, and I was pleasantly surprised that the look of the Uruk Hai sort of captured that look and were very scary looking. I wouldn't want to meet them in a dark alley (or have a cup of tea with them either

).
