Don't forget: according to Tom Cruise, JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS is the greatest movie ever made!

I was wondering if there were some other classic films that You might recommend that featured stop motion photography.

Valley of the Gwangi(cowboys and dinosaurs)
Clash of the Titans
Seventh Voyage of Sinbad

the stop motion work for the most part in The Lost World was pretty good for the time ... dino's fighting, the environment reacting ... but i still had a laugh at some of the ideas .. like the plant eaters gnashing their sharp pointy teeth constantly ...

OOPS! My bad.

It was Tom Hanks who said that, when introducing Ray Harryhausen at the Academy's Technical Awards. (Harryhausen was receiving a lifetime achievement award.)

I love stop motion. I watch Clash of the Titans every Easter. It's a tradition. I've read a couple of articles that Warner Bros. is trying a remake though...and the new movie will no doubt lose its charm through CGI.

Did know one mention THE BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS? I just saw it recently at a theatre where Ray Harryhausen spoke before the film. It held up better than expected: not only were the effects entertaining, but the film had a decent script and did a good job of holding interest even when the monster was not on screen.

You can see a video of Harryhausen's talk here: http://hollywoodgothique.com/beastfr...thoms1953.html

John Carpenter's The Thing
