Discuss The Harryhausen Chronicles

I grew up watching these movies again and again. Especially Jason and the Argonauts and 20 Million Miles to Earth. What an amazing man.

Overview

There’s only one person who so accurately personifies movie magic in the history of film, and that man is special effects maestro Ray Harryhausen. Focusing on the man behind the landmark effects on films like Clash Of The Titans, One Million Years B.C., Jason And The Argonauts and many more, this in-depth film features interviews with the great man himself, and with an array of animators and directors influenced by his work including Guillermo del Toro, Peter Jackson, Nick Park, Terry Gilliam, James Cameron and Steven Spielberg. The film also features unseen footage of tests and experiments recently uncovered.

I too was enchanted by his work as a kid. My favourites were Jason and the Argonauts, Valley of Gwangi and - above all - The 7th Voyage of SInbad. I introduced the latter to my sister's kids a year or so back and they loved it too.

You can't beat cowboys and dinosaurs, lol.

I've seen the 2011 documentary with an interview with Ray. It was outstanding. He passed away in 2013.
