Jason and the Argonauts is hard to beat for its special effects. |

Beast from 20k scared the pee out of me when I was seven. |

Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1973) – with six-armed Kali, the animated figurehead, the cute little homunculus, the scenery-chewing of a pre-Who Tom Baker, and of course the, ahem, presence of Caroline Munro. |

Jason & the Argonauts Though I do love the rest, too. Alas, I have been unable to find a copy of The Valley of Gwangi on either DVD or Blu-Ray. Not sure why that is. |

Valley of the Gwangi is out from WB Archive Collection. Not super cheap. |

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad: the Cyclops, the Dragon, the skeletal warrior, Torin Thatcher, the musical score. My absolute favorite! |

I can't choose any one. Some times they play them on Svengholie, only way for me to stay up that late. |

Jason and the Argonauts for the win. That would be one of the those movies that everyone of us from a certain age remember watching and probably helped influence our move into miniature gaming. |

Yep, Jason and the Argonauts. That movie honestly scared me as a kid. The harpies, Talos, the hydra, fighting skeletons, even the talking figurehead of Hera scared me. |

To be honest, the meticulous photography of the models is far more impressive than modern CGI. The skeleton warriors in Jason and the Argonauts are a perfect example. Here you go. Google is your friend. link And, who hasn't taken their toy dinosaurs and put cowboys against them? Even, and especially as a kid? I was doing that long before I had ever heard of actual wargames. |
