CGI has come a long way over the past decade or so, and has made so many beloved movies look that much more realistic. But it doesn't need to be used in every instance. In fact, prosthetics, animatronic puppets, and other practical effects are still used in cinematography to this day.
The movies in this list may have used CGI in some parts, but they still had some pretty spectacular moments that didn't use CGI at all (or very little at most).
