Recommendations for sci-fi/horror movies with awesome practical effects.

Go!

Many spring to mind, but I'd wager you've seen most of them. I'll have to marinate on this. In the meantime and from the same year as An American Werewolf in London, The Howling has some excellent werewolf effects as well.

The Thing is one of the crown jewels of the practical effects golden age. One of my favorite films.

Surely, you have seen The Fly, Hellraiser, Alien/Aliens, The Dark Crystal, Gremlins 1/2, Krull, Evil Dead 1/2, Neverending Story... where is Evan Campbell?

Check out everything Rick Baker and Rob Bottin have done in the genre.

I though of a few more possibilities:

2001
Braindead (Dead Alive)
Scanners
The Stuff (serious B movie, seriously great)
Tremors

[Re-animated Cat]

@deafmetal: Indeed, I have seen all of those. All good suggestions though. In fact, I'd rate The Fly as another of those 'crown jewels'. I'm more looking for less celebrated flicks really, ones that time forgot!

@mateo: Of course, Braindead is all-time fav and absolute beaut. Good call, squire. Now, 'The Stuff' is one that I haven't heard of. I'm on it.

Apart from the above mentioned I've always been partial to the gloop ridden fx in Society.

^ Beat me to it!



A legendary practical fx flick!
