Whoa! SFX scenes in films

"Wanted" had a lot of scenes that blew me away, but one that really sticks out is the part where the guy (I forgot his name) runs down the hallway and flies out the window, shooting assassins as he's flying. I love the way the glass shards are plastered to his face. It's awesome.

I don't know if anything will ever top the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park for "wow" moments (especially the first time you see that herd running, and the brontosaurus, etc.) just because of the sheer novelty of it. We've become so used to amazing special effects since then that it's harder to amaze us. Avatar looks like it could be the next one to do that though...

Minority Report: the spiders looking for John Anderton.

Dark Knight: Batpod Eject. The sonar vision or whatever that was when he was Kicking the bad guys and swat team ( I felt like a kid in a parK).

Total recall: 3 boobs ( lol i was about 9 when i saw this movie. oh i giggled a lot)

300: The whole Movie

Spiderman 3: Sandman Birth

In spite of how much I hate Spiderman 3 (it killed my enjoyment of the first two films stone dead!) That scene is fantastic! Particualrly on Blu-ray where every minute grain of sand is so well defined

Agreed, although its the actual idea that makes it work, the sfx aren't all that great.

I agree that Sunshine is the most recent film where the SFX truly wowed me (quite possibly as I wasn't expecting it).
