Favorite Movie With Practical Effects? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I recently rewatched Army of Darkness for the first time in forever and I was so charmed by all the practical effects. The eyeball in the shoulder still gets me lol. Practical effects aside, the whole movie was a lot of campy silly fun. It's just a gem of a movie.

What's your favorite movie that uses lots of practical effects?

Do you have a favorite practical effect of all time?

Any movies like Army of Darkness you'd recommend?

Not at all like Army of Darkness, but my fave hasta be 2001: A Space Odyssey

[–] leave_it_blank@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

This movie still looks stunning!!

Also 2010, just beautiful!!

Never a bad time to drop some acid and watch 2001 A Space Odyssey. I've been tripping everytime I've watched it but I'm pretty sure the story makes no sense if you're sober

I've only watched it sober, I think it makes decent amount of sense.

Somewhere out on the web one can find 2001 with Pink Floyd replacing the movie audio. Don't settle for just the last bit. Get the whole movie with alternate (flyod) audio. A cursory look suggests the full replacement isn't on youtube, but since I've seen it in the past, I'm sure it still exists somewhere.
