Not much more than variations on a theme. There were plenty of films with effects from plenty other effects houses (sometimes even better) coming out before and after the PT. Evolutionary vs. revolutionary.
BTW, I'm really grateful to see "A Trip to the Moon" there. That's awesome.

Honestly this list is pretty average at best, and if we are going to use "variations on a theme" as the criteria for inclusion on the list then Fellowship of the Ring has no business being on this list, nor does Jedi for that matter... I'll give you Empire because of the advent of "go-motion", but why is the Terminator on this list??? At best average makeup effects (even for the time), along with cheesy front projection work. How is Ghostbusters groundbreaking??? And I'm sorry you're going to include Jackson's Kong and not include ROTS? Give me a break.
