Films like Bullitt and The French Connection are far superior to anything done nowadays basically because they really did the stunts that we see on screen. See The Man with the Golden Gun for another example. That car jump where it flips as it leaps the river would be animation nowadays

Yep some films would, but still plenty of films that still use real stunts ,sure most of the stunts are real in the mission impossible films etc. I was more talking about sci-fi and fantasy films which are effects heavy , and if the cgi is done right they look great and add to your immersion in the film,granted a lot with shitty effects.
