And the Bourne movies. You can barely notice the CGI. The Bourne Ultimatum is especially good.

I've mixed reviews of CGI:
  • Star Wars Ep. I - III are disgusting messes.
  • Sin City and 300 (and I'm assuming the upcoming The Spirit) are eye candy. Delicious eye candy.
  • The Matrix trilogy got progressively messy. (My official take is that there is only one Matrix film.)
  • The LOTR trilogy is hit and miss, but it has far more hits than misses. Good balance of CGI and animitronics and makeup. (Weta, Weta!)
  • I didn't watch Beowulf because it looks horrific.
  • The Incredibles is incredible.
  • Star Wars: The Clone Wars looks awesome.
  • Where would Firefly and Battlestar Galactica be without CGI?
  • I'm looking forward to The Dark Crystal 2, and it's hoped-for LOTR-esque CGI approach.

This, off the top of my head.

Oh, and The Incredible Hulk has yet to impress me. The first film I couldn't buy.
