Gremlins is one of my all time favorite horror movies. It combines classic B movie horror with amazing effects. Just look at that!

No CGI here, folks. Just awesome, awesome, AWESOME effects. The sound? A leather wallet being bent. Ahh, The Exorcist. Still epic.

Jurassic Park. Have fun telling where the puppetry stops and the CGI begins. These were MASSIVE effects, and at over 20 years old, still look fantastic.

Yes it's a remake. I don't care. John Carpenter's The Thing blew the original out of the arctic.

An American Werewolf in London was the first movie nominated for effects. You can see why.
