Terminator 2 (1991) had some practical effects with the help of Linda Hamilton's twin sister. When Sarah cuts a hole in T-800 head it's a model of Schwarzenegger’s head in the foreground, the real Schwarzenegger plays his own reflection, and Linda’s twin sister mimics her movespic.twitter.com/RcTrCDsW6P

In Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) the bread scene is a practical effect that took the team 3 months to come up with. They molded an inflatable bread, it was deflated underneath the liquid and then slowly inflated it and sucked out the liquid with vacuum pumpspic.twitter.com/SVKt4zC9WY

For the famous Star Wars (IV-V-VI) opening crawl they used a camera moving along a physical model slightly tilted. It was difficult and time-consuming to get a smooth scrolling effect, and they needed one for each language (German, French, Spanish etc).pic.twitter.com/Vd6O2BSqsv

Escape from New York (1981) 3D wireframe city flyby was a crazy-expensive effect to pull off in CGI back then. James Cameron was part of the effects team, they applied reflective tape to a matte-black model of the city, used ultraviolet lights, and flew a camera over the modelpic.twitter.com/wTM7Vnbum5

Tron (1982) was shot in black and white, sets were made of black fabric with white duct-tape for markers, the glow was later hand-painted onto every frame, imagine the work!! In this video we can see a test using a white suit with black markers for the glowspic.twitter.com/fl9U87bsBu

In 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) the floating pen sequence was made by gluing the pen with transparent duct tape to a giant glass and just moving it around, camera focused on center so you can't see the edges.pic.twitter.com/1BYwRkmJOl

One movie I was surprised by amount of CGI was Logan (2017) but that's only because it's so well blended I could barely tell. source: https://vimeo.com/222432667 pic.twitter.com/Fsav9VdwQ6

It's not only Tom Cruise or Keanu Reeves, we need to talk more about the fact that Chloe Grace Moretz (Kick-Ass, The Amityville Horror) has been doing her own stunts since she was 8pic.twitter.com/ICsHbcfaLt
