What older movies made a good use of either side stepping special effects or have effects that somehow still hold up today? Why are they good movies?

Yeah, I was racking my brain to find a major movie filmed in the last decade without digital effects so that I could induce a recognition of the passage of time, and I couldn’t manage it. Covid started more than half a decade ago, and modern movies rarely use solely practical effects
Fury Road was almost all practical effects
There is a LOT of CGI in Fury Road.
They did lots of practical stunts, yeah, but each of those shots is then supplemented with CGI. Extra vehicles and scenery and whatnot.
There’s this weird thing where filmmakers like to pretend they don’t use CGI and it makes us as viewers think that CGI is somehow worse.
Edit: Bonus, check out the episode of It Was a Shit Show about Fury Road. It’s fascinating.
They’ve even started adding NFC to behind the scenes footage to make it seem as if something that was CGI actually wasn’t. Someone linked the corridor crew playlist above. They talk about this when they cover Barbie.
What’s NFC in this context? I only know it as Near Field Communication.
Very weird. I’m sure I typed “VFX”. Then again, that’s the kind of thing autocorrect sometimes thinks it knows better than you do about.
Yup, autocorrect loves to think it’s smarter than it is.
So was sicario edit: and the raid, but most isn’t all. Visual effects are simply too tantalizing and/or useful. Particularly for landscapes, I simply don’t notice
It still had 2,000 VFX shots.
Weren’t a good chunk of those simply editing the backgrounds so they didn’t look familiar?
