I also look at today's computer graphic special effects in movies, and think they look so fake as to be unreal.

I so agree. I'll take it a step further and say it's a deal killer. I completely lose interest in a film once the gaudy computer generated special effects appear. I still think the best special effects I've seen in a SF movie were in Forbidden Planet (1956).

Being the 1980's era geek that I am, I admit I like computer graphics, my favorites were "Tron" (1982) and "The Last Starfighter" (1984). However, I do agree with the special effects on "The Forbidden Planet." If I may, another good film with special effects was "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968), I think that has held up quite well too. I liked the computer graphics they used when they were working on the circuit boards in the space station as well.

Most funny 3D movie experience was "Friday The 13th Part III." I remember the gang was sitting around and passing a joint around and you saw this arm and hand passing this huge joint towards you. Everyone in the theater, including us, reached up for it. It was hilarious! B-)
