Neat one, but I think they leave off an absolutely huge one - Young Sherlock Holmes.

It's also a little unfair to use the Special Edition Star Wars FX to represent the 1970s.

Yeah but thanks to Lucas it's hard to find the original now.

All that work and they miss one of the first Sci Fi movies? Georges Melies - A trip to the moon should have been on that list

I think a few of you are missing the point. It's not a list of great effects but just a sample of effects through time. They left a lot of our favorites out but that wasn't the point. I enjoyed it, especially the really old stuff. I marvel at how they use to pull things off.

Good. There should be another one or more of these. My favorite FX is when you don't notice them.

Not bad, but I'm kind of surprised that there was no mention of 2001: A Space Odyssey anywhere. That was kind of a watershed movie for visual effects.
