probably Jurassic Park for me

the baby in the bath in A Beautiful Mind. I didn't realize it was an effect until I watched some of the extra features on the DVD. I admire Forrest Gump, that would have taken an immense amount of work, Apollo 13 is another fine example. Jarhead has some good ones.
I prefer movies which use special effects to enhance or complement the story, rather than being the actual story, if you get my drift. -

For some reason, I have always been obsessed with the "Walking Through Walls" effects ever since
4D Man

.
I will search endlessly for movies with this effect. I just love the look of a well done wall walk!
Scott, there may be side effects of this we don't know anything about -

Jurassic Park had the most impressive realistic effect for me (the T-rex leaving the fence).
But the ones that I consider the most exciting in the story would be the skeleton fight in Jason and the Argonautsor anything King Kong did in the 1933 film.
The effect that gave me the biggest wow as a kid was when Clark Kent kicked the football into the sky in Superman the Movie.
The Asteroid chase in ESB was also amazing.
Before JP, the water creature in the Abyss was the most amazing spfx technical jump where it could make human faces. -

I recently watched
The Revenant
. I assume that the bear attack scene was created using CGI. In any event, however it was accomplished, the initial bear attack is currently my all-time favorite special visual effects scene. I couldn't take my eyes off the screen; I couldn't believe my eyes. I've watched the scene a couple of times since and find it more difficult to watch than the first time, which is a curious phenomenon because usually a person becomes desensitized to the sight of violence.
