2 days agoTwo out of these three are movies I keep coming back to.
Welp, guess I can’t avoid the Thing for much longer. Unless, of course, I can.
I’m not much for horror. But, it’s also sci-fi. I’m torn.
On a scale of 0 to Event Horizon and Alien (1979), I assume the Thing is beyond even these.
Off the top of my head:
Pan’s Labyrinth (CGI augments excellent practical effects)
Ghostbusters (1984)
The Cell (CGI augments excellent set and costume design).
The Abyss (1989)
Interstellar (had to check if this was CGI).
With research: Speed and The Edge of Tomorrow are fun. Also, I am annoyed at myself that I forgot Aronofsky’s the Fountain — a beautiful, painful film.
Practical scenes with mentioning:
That one scene in Chinatown, “they lose their noses!”
That one scene in Boogie Nights, “I’m a big bright shining star.”
That last arrow in Throne of Blood
