TGIF! Every week on “Freebie Friday” we offer our readers an opportunity to win free prizes. This week we’re giving away 5-packs of free Redbox rentals to three lucky winners!
Jurassic Park celebrates its 20th anniversary by lumbering back into theaters in 3D this weekend. This movie is known for its groundbreaking special effects, which got us thinking about other effects-filled movies. Enter this week’s contest by answering the following question in the comments section below:
What movie has the best special effects of all time?
Your choices can range from recent films that are full of CGI to the quaint days of puppets and matte paintings. Some picks might be Star Wars, The Matrix, and Jaws, but don’t forget about other innovators like Saving Private Ryan, Forrest Gump, Terminator 2, Titanic, and 2001.
On Monday the 8th we will pick three winners at random from the submitted comments. Each winner will receive five free Redbox rentals! Multiple comments will disqualify you, so please respond just once.
Good luck, Insiders!
Update
Congratulations to our winners: FAN9ATIC, Donaldot, and alma! We’ll be in touch shortly about your prizes.
FORREST, FORREST GUMP!
Actually “Spartacus” on Showtime, has some of the Sickest/Best Special Effects. Matrix-esq but Definitely More Modern :)
Silence of the Lambs
Forrest Gump for subtle special effects; Jurrasic park for awe inspiring groundbreaking special effects.
Life of Pi
Transformers
Twister

The Day the Earth Stood Still (the original one)
I am not big on special effect movies, but the Matrix surprized me.
I remember being amazed at the cool effects in Matrix…but now I’d have to say Avatar.
The Matrix
I loved the orginal When the Earth Stood Still. At the time it provided the viewer with the possiblity of what could happen if aliens really landed on earth.
Twilight
AVATAR by far!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very hard to say since there is so many types and reasons for the effects — “promethius” was great as well as the original ending to “Planet of the Apes”

2012 was the best….hands down!
