I disagree with some of the movies already mentioned, especially Jurassic Park. 20 years later and those dinos still look pretty damn good and about as realistic as you're gonna get when juxtaposed with real actors and scenery. I'll take that over the crap that is Avatar and Transformers any day.
Also, movies like T2 and Blade Runner still look good too. Blade Runner just has that classic, timeless feel to it, and the only blemish on T2 nowadays is the cheap-looking computer animated T-1000 when he's 100% liquid metal in some scenes, but everything else still looks great... go watch the scene where Ah-nold slits his arm and rips off his skin revealing part of his robotic skeleton underneath. Still looks realistic.
Now movies whose fx haven't held up... Clash of the Titans is an obvious one with some cringe-worthy stop motion animation. It looks like a monster movie straight out of the 50s or 60s. More recently, Independence Day looks totally dated. I remember when it first came out and people were going nuts over the alien ships destroying the Empire State building. Now it looks like garbage.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
