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?

Off the top of my head:
Pan’s Labyrinth (CGI augments excellent practical effects)
Ghostbusters (1984)
The Cell (CGI augments excellent set and costume design).
The Abyss (1989)
Interstellar (had to check if this was CGI).
With research: Speed and The Edge of Tomorrow are fun. Also, I am annoyed at myself that I forgot Aronofsky’s the Fountain — a beautiful, painful film.
Practical scenes with mentioning:
That one scene in Chinatown, “they lose their noses!”
That one scene in Boogie Nights, “I’m a big bright shining star.”
That last arrow in Throne of Blood
