What older movies made a good use of either side stepping special effects or have effects that somehow still hold up today? Why are they good movies?

    I was kind of shocked how well Flight of the Navigator held up when I rewatched it for the first time as an adult a couple of years ago. The effects used for the ship were great.

      It was a favourite growing up (up there’s with Explorers, The Goonies to me back then), I hadn’t watched it in decades till a few years ago. I also thought it held up really well. Besides the exterior spaceship there’s minimal effects anyways (plus cute aliens of course which were practical) it’s more an odd buddy (new friend?) comedy. I still thought what was there was for the ship effects held up better than expected for the time.

      Course may be rose tinted glasses and all, but I really enjoyed it last time still, plus time travel is always awesome.
