I recently rewatched Army of Darkness for the first time in forever and I was so charmed by all the practical effects. The eyeball in the shoulder still gets me lol. Practical effects aside, the whole movie was a lot of campy silly fun. It's just a gem of a movie.

What's your favorite movie that uses lots of practical effects?

Do you have a favorite practical effect of all time?

Any movies like Army of Darkness you'd recommend?

The Thing has to be up there if the criteria is just an overall great movie heavy on practical effects.

Do you have a favorite practical effect of all time?

The "digital" wireframe view of the city from Snake's glider in 'Escape From New York'.

It was accomplished with miniature buildings which is rad.
