Top 5 Films With The Best Special Effects

Depending On:
Visual Appeal (Looks Colorful and Atmospheric)
Realism
Ground Breaking
Subtlety

5. King Kong (1933)


I know you were probably expecting the 2005 remake here, but no, I prefer this one. The attention to detail is fantastic, and all the hard work really pay's off, and makes for special effects not matched for years to come. Peter Jackson himself actually attempted to recreate King Kong's lost scene, featuring a giant spider, using the same crude techniques used in 1933. It didn't look close to as good as this.

4. Tron Legacy (2010)


It's not as subtle as the other films on this list, but good god is it awesome. Filled with color, detail, and spectacles that need to be seen to be believed, this movie revives CGI to make me enjoy it again.

3. Titanic (1997)


I'm still not sure if CGI was really used in this film or not.

2. Lord of the Rings Trilogy (2001-2003)


It's quick, it's detailed, it's realistic, it's just awesome.

1. Inception (2010)
Was there ever a doubt? Best Special Effects yet. Watch it and you'll see.

Honorable Mention: 2001: A Space Odyssey

I Will Never Include: King Kong (2005), The Matrix, Avatar (All Have to Much Overused and Unrealistic CGI)
