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.

Jason and the Argonauts or Valley of the Gwangi

dBerzerk09 May 2026 7:19 a.m. PST

The 7th Voyage of Sinbad: the Cyclops, the Dragon, the skeletal warrior, Torin Thatcher, the musical score.

My absolute favorite!

Jason and the Argonauts

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.

Michael May09 May 2026 10:23 p.m. PST

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.

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.
