A Lost Art: Special Effects vs. Straight Story Telling

Has our society lost the art of story telling without the use of special effects? Don't get me wrong, I like CGI, but there have been things made, albeit most many years ago, I can watch because the story telling is just so good.

For example, recently Andy Griffith died, I can still sit down and watch the Andy Griffith Show and be completely entertained. Another example would be The Cosby Show. How good was the clean humor and story telling in that show?!?

We have lost something by improving ourselves, if you want to call it improving.

What are some of the best non-special effects stories you have ever seen, either on the silver screen or on the tele?
