Truly special effects

Here’s an interesting list from the film fiends over at The Den of Geek — the Top 50 Movie Special Effects of All Time. There are three things I like about this list:

1. It doesn’t limit itself to the usual suspects. Sure, JURASSIC PARK, STAR WARS and the parting of the Red Sea from THE TEN COMMANDMENTS are there, but so are moments from ALIEN RESURRECTION, JUST IMAGINE and BRAZIL.

2. The descriptions explain why the effects are special and don’t just resort to the usual “wow! that’s cool!” type of internet analysis.

3. Best of all, there are video clips from each and every one.
