We’ll check back in the thread in 2021 called “Terminator 2 is 30!” and see if you’re still winning.

3 months old. any takers
As for effects holding up… I watched The Fly and The Thing and An American Werewolf in London recently (probably not the best idea for sleeping) and i was amazed at how well their effects have held up.

Inhales joint - “Childs, Childs… Chariots of the Gods, man. They practically own South America. I mean, they taught the Incas everything they know.”
My all time favourite horror film. ^^

Those are all great movies and can stop me from eating pizza for days. No mean feat.

The Thing for you, The Fly for me. Absolutely love that movie. Grossest (is that a word?) as can be.

Oh I love The Fly and American Werewolf as well but The Thing - script, effects, actors…Carpenter nailed it perfectly.
Goldblum is brilliant in The Fly! I haven’t seen it in quite a while but I can vividly picture the arm-wrestling scene and the bit where he demonstrates his, ermm, feeding habits lol. Aye, a great film. =)

I’m not sure which is better (the fly or the thing). Both are pretty atmospheric. I mean the sheer wtf ness of the blood test scene in the thing where the guy’s head splits in half or the monster dogs are both incredible but also the final bit in the fly where his jaw falls off and he becomes brundlefly… it’s a close one. I think I’ll go with The Thing just. Both of them (and american werewolf) beat most of today’s CGI easily. They are also much more terrifying.

^^ Well they work better than CG because even though it sounds silly, the latex and rubber and stage blood is really there in front of the camera, while our eye can still tell when an image is CG.
CG works great for Transformers because they’re robots, and for creating unbelievable landscapes, but for monsters they still need a few years.
As for the discussion on the older effects vs CGI. I found the alien in Alien the scariest of all the aliens, until the end when it was blasted into space. I definitely prefer the details of my monsters left up to my imagination, much scarier.
Oh and as for the age discussion for T2 20 years ago, I was 18.
I put this link in the geek thread but figured I’d post it here for the people discussing latex, and expanding bladders vs cgi and fake blood. This is a make up test for I am Legend I think the mask came out much better than the finished product.

Fook! That mask is brilliant! That would’ve been far preferable to the CGI!

Alien is a good example! Tim Curry in Legend as well. Hell, even the puppets out of The Labyrinth were better than some of the CGI stuff produced today.
