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?

    ladyhawke smartly did the zoom into the eye and have it morph and zoom out to the animal. Holds up much better than using the limited technology of the time.

      I’ve never heard of anyone else who’s seen Ladyhawke. Everyone I’ve shown it to hated it, but there’s something I love about it. The sets, locations, costumes, dialogue, all great. The transformations they tried to do on-screen are my least favorite part, though.

        Love it! Broddrick is great in it, and his perspective helps keep the more legendary character and plot line believable. Looks gorgeous too (the film, not MattyB)

        you have to look at other movies from the time like the howling 2 you will see how using what they did for transformation was genius.
