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...

Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Yes I agree!It is better a cultural and interessant film whit normal effects than a stupid and full of effects one!(but if we can have a film whit an important messages and amazing ffects...whi not?)

 

P.s.:sorry for forgetting Star wars!!!!!

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)
