Out of your list,TLOTR.
You should have included the Star Wars prequel trilogy,though.

I'm not bothered to be honest; I've never been drawn to watching a film because of the special effects...in 80% of the cases, Hollywood tends to try and use them to cover up a script that is devoid of ideas, and dialogue which varies from mundane to banal....
...I'll stick with Polanski, Kubrick, Hitchcock & Woody Allen (among many others), ta very much...

fair enough...you'll have to forgive me; I'm both a bit of a film snob and a grumpy old sod...

I'd have to go for Lord of the Rings. In that movie, the producer made the CGI look as close to reality as they possibly could have. I didn't think King Kong had the authenticity that Lord of the Rings did as far as effects.
About Star Wars, i love the films, but I'm sorry the CGI is a little overdone. I would have liked them to have built some sets. I don't care too much for movies filmed in front of a green screen. I still enjoy the Star Wars Movies though.

out of that list... LOTR was great, but i prefer the effects in the Matrix. they were more groundbreaking at the time i guess. plus, in the 2nd one when the 2 trucks collide head on... damn. that owns.
P.S. star wars = sh*te. (IMHO )
