Clash of the Titans, Valley of Gwangi , Jason and the Argonauts , Sindad and the eye of the tiger etcetera

I was just talking to someone the other day about Jason and the Argonauts and how bad the special effects were. I'm not having a pop at Ray, they were revolutionary for the time and provided a platform for everything that came after. I guess it just shows how far that art form has come in such a short space of time.
 
King of Stop Motion

Filled my childhood with fantasy

Er.... That doesn't sound like I meant it

RIP
 
Indeed Mr TuBBz, some forget that at one time those special effects were jaw dropping, and that one time was our childhood : )

RIP Harry, a legend.

 
Man was a real genius. Jason and the Argonauts still one of my top films.
