    I'm sure it's been stated before, but I guffaw at the fact that CCTV can be both China Central Television and Closed Circuit Television, both being geared towards reporting and surveillance.

    Tre cool commercial, liquid/smoke CG effects are always amazing and always incredibly difficult to do.

    Hmm...doesn't have the same ring as "Soviet Russia," but it's probably truer.

    I'm seriously amazed at the comments this video elicits. A friend working in visual effects, made this to show to a classroom full of 5th graders before talking a little bit about working in the industry. Nowhere, anywhere does it say that this is a definitive list of visual effects films, nor does it claim they are the most influential films from the past century. I had assumed when it showed up on Giz that the comments would be slightly more enlightened than those on Youtube. Imagine my dismay. Anyway, go read the notes from the guy who posted it on youtube: "...a collection of clips and making-of footage from notable visual effects films of the past century..." That's it.

    @TatsuFX: No one's yelling "first" or posting ROLFCOPTERS (or whatever it is that the kids on YouTube are doing nowadays). Though perhaps those comments have since been removed by the mods here.

    The commenters were just responding to the author's question:

    "Did your favorite visual effect get left out?"

    Obviously that's going to start people talking about what "should have been" in the video. Sorry you're dismayed by that.

    Personally I thought the clip had a great flow, and fit to the soundtrack really well. The target demo does explain why there was a drop in the music track to the vocals from Roger Rabbit.

    To answer the author: The Matrix, definitely. Also, the original Star Trek (which is boring as hell, but had some great effects for its day).

    @ScottRose: Fantastic point. I missed that line at the end or just glossed over it. I am now officially The Douche in the room. In all honesty, the guy who made the video and I have been laughing about most of the youtube comments over the last few days.

    So this guy went through a handful of his DVDs he had on his shelf and ripped parts of the special features into a shoddy youtube clip? Seriously minimal effort on his part.

    I recognize most of the modern films from their dvd commentary/how-tos that he ripped.

    Also yeah, he jumped from the 20s to Oz, then to tron, there was 100s of important films inbetween.

    Ok, here's my gripe.

    Where are some of the "firsts"?

    Young Sherlock Holmes. The first time a computer animated figure interacts with live action.

    The Last Starfighter. The first time computer created sets were used in conjunction with actual sets (ie. you see the bottom of the ship in the hanger, and it's a real set piece, but when they show the whole ship, it's CG).
