SFX magazine conducted a poll to find the greatest ever special effect, and Star Wars comes out on top for the opening scene of A New Hope.
Only four of the effects in the top ten were created digitally. Other pre-CGI honorees include the climax of 1933′s King Kong (#2), the skeleton warriors from 1963′s Jason and the Argonauts (#4) and the chest buster from 1979′s Alien (#9.)
