Must-See 3D: 21 Movies Actually Improved by a Third Dimension

"Now, then, and probably forever, 3-D is a gimmick: Whether you're talking about the first major wave of stereoscopic movies in the 1950s (which employed the now defunct dual-strip system), the brief revival of the '80s, or the current dominance of "true" or post-converted 3-D blockbusters, the technology exists mainly to jack up ticket prices or attract moviegoers away from the siren call of television....
But....in the right hands, a gimmick can become more of a tool, or even an invitation to innovate. Below, we've singled out 21 films that not only put their third dimension to good use, but are dramatically improved by the format. These are the movies that practically demand to be seen in 3-D—although with stereoscopic televisions no longer really a thing, you'll have to keep your eyes peeled for a retrospective screening."
I'm still bummed about missing The Walk in theaters. I would have loved to see it in IMAX.
