Just caught the last ten mins of a show about the great Ray Harryhausen.

His models for his characters were/are amazing.

Nowadays though, films seem too reliant on cgi.

I'd agree. To this day I think Bladerunner looks fresh and realistic (it was one of the last truly 'in camera effects' movies) whereas movies like The Matrix haven't aged well.

I think the story and acting had more to do with it being shit.

One of my fave PE moments was in American werewolf in London. Hands down the best transformation scenes ever put on film imo.
