>Can good visual effects really make up for a bad story?
For most people, yes. Folks want spectacle and action. Me; I like the underlying ideas in a flick. The weirder the better. Which is why I love so many old 50's b-movies.
Picking a best is durned near impossible for me. There are so many good ones, and so many that were good for different reasons. Sometimes they give you something you can wrap your head around, sometimes a weird idea, or neat characters. If I had to pick I'd go with "Rock and Rule," since it's my all time favourite film.

Of course, it's Planet of the Apes. It's been 40 years since its first showing, but the movie still packs a punch. It was beyond its time and is a true classic. I still feel chills down my spine when I see the Hunt Leader on horseback.

Me too man The Return of the King for me,good story and visualsOriginally Posted by toys2cool
I like all 3 films roll on the Hobbit.
Never stand behind a cow when it sneezes.
Highlander movie was a very inventive story with good acting. Just like Jessica said Planet of the Apes was great but the one that gave me the "awe" affect was Star Wars. It had everything when I was a kid.
Never had enough toys..
1) Planet of the Apes - Great Story, works on countless social commentary/literary/visual levels
2) 2001 - Great Vision, boundless imagination used, if a tad slow in execution..
3) Star Trek TMP - Only movie in franchise to branch out with a serious, far-reaching '70s concept (before the '80s movies played it safer..)
4) Star Wars ('New Hope') - The Killer Blockbuster heralding/celebrating all saturday morning films, but with innovative style and effects.. (remember this was 1977)
5) Empire Strikes Back - How often do you improve on the first..? This one did, with great subtle acting, excellent momentum.
OK, talk amongst yourselves..

For best visuals I would say Logan's Run or the Time Machine (1960)
