Jurassic Park and E.T. were numbers 23 and 24 respectively.
How about Predator? The camoflouged alien was notable.
@rezzy, Tron is 31.



...That list should have included Davy Jones from Pirates Of The Caribbean; it's still to this day one of the, if not the, most realistic CGI I have ever seen.
OK, thanks. I zipped through pretty quickly and totally missed it; good to know it was included.

...I like that one much better actually! But I think 2001 should be on top.
