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

The Raid 2 (2014) had a 1 take scene where camera follows a car, enters, and shows driver. This was accomplished by having a camera man disguised as a car seat in the back & another one strapped on the side of car, they had to manually hand over the camera.pic.twitter.com/JINZvoTydl

In Spider-Man (2002) scene where Peter Parker catches the tray and objects wasn't CGI. Tray had a sticky substance so stuff wouldn't roll when falling but Tobey Maguire had to catch them, it took 156 takes. The studio wanted this scene cut because of how long it was taking.pic.twitter.com/JZzfbjIPgc

For Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) they trained actual squirrels for months to get them to sort the nuts and the attack scene. The double had to wear a mask to protect face from their sharp claws https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DQIagGarJk …pic.twitter.com/sFbhOdcY8I

Some people asked where to find more or double check facts. This was just selection of some I found cool, if you type "movie trivia/facts on movies" there are a lot of resources.
