I think you're overdoing it a bit on special effects however.

2001 is one of the greatest science fiction films IMO the best Science Fiction film ever made that actually had something relevant to say about mankind the universe our reliance on technology. The medium itself is a rather ironic to boot.

But there is a film that WITHOUT special effects would not have worked - the effects were integral to the story telling.

Now i certainly agree for the MOST part that filmakers rely on the effects over the screenwriter.

jar jar ruined Star Wars phantom menace. All CGI.

Yoda looked real in the 77 Star Wars. The difference was not effects...effects don't ruin the movie - the original didn't take itself seriously...it had serious elements and a huge larger than life story but it was funny. The Phantom Menace was a morbid bore.
