I probably would've included Phantom Menace, but I understand why it's missing. I think the effects guys are factoring in how "good" the movie is, not just the technical advances. They're not influential if no one remembers them or likes them. Hence, no Sherlock Holmes or Dragonslayer. (I remember a lot of effects guys, usually while praising The Matrix, saying the effects actually hurt Phantom Menace more than helped it)
