Absolutely.
I remember listening to the DVD commentary track for X2 (from 2003), and loving that scene near the beginning where Nightcrawler is hiding out in a cathedral but losing control of his teleportation powers because he's being remotely controlled/possessed by the villain of the story. Bryan Singer talks on the track about how great it was to fling the character (can't remember if it it was actually Alan Cumming or a stuntman) from the rafters, and how much better and more weighty it looked to have a "real" shot and just have to remove wires/harnessing vs filming it as a blank canvas and having to insert the character digitally.
