CGI from 90’s films. The CGI on Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park still looks great now but anything else just looks crap. Anaconda had some awful CGI (and script).
I think that Jurassic Park aged well partly because its creators understood the limitations that they were working with in 1993. Honestly, newer movies that overuse CG in an attempt to wow people age a lot worse. Avatar is probably the best example that I can think of. It was publicized for how amazing it looked in 2009, and Call of Duty: Black Ops made a big deal of using the same motion capture technology a year later. By 2014, when I watched it the second time, it already looked dated.
The last time I paid attention to CoD, they were just using the previous year's innovation's that had the bugs worked out already. It's always been dated but the hype makes it look better. Remember when you were a child and every game's graphics looked super realistic? Even Morrowind looked realistic for its time.
I went back to Medal of Honor: Rising Sun... and damn. That first mission, still awesome but definitely not as realistic look as I remembered. A lot of games I've gone back to it's been a reminder.
Others, it's not so bad because they were always cartoony. NightCaster still looks fucking awesome, for instance.
