This is not a list of 'iconic' SFX shots, such as the opening shot in Star Wars or the final shot in Back To The Future, etc. There are many fantastic SFX shots in cinema history that are artistically 'awesome' without qualifying here. For the purposes of this list, a shot has to be either a) exceptionally convincing, b) ground-breaking or c) an exemplary execution of an oft-used technique. Only one shot is allowed per film.

Let's get two things clear: I'd rather sit through a good film with bad special effects than a yawn-fest employing the latest tech from Weta digital. Some of the films here are amongst my favourite movies.
Secondly, I'm not after shooting rats in a barrel. Bad SFX in a very low-budget movie are only to be expected. It's when the effects fall well below the general production values of the film that it enters shooting range…
