Happy Birthday, Ray Harryhausen

[filkertom]

On this date in 1920. Dude revolutionized movies, especially in the realm of stop-motion animation. (I can't believe I feel I have to explain this to some of my younger readers; I hope you all feel patronized and shoot me a dirty look for thinking you might possibly not know who Ray Harryhausen is.)

What's your favorite Harryhausen film? With me, it's The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad, although Jason and the Argonauts, The Three Worlds of Gulliver, and Mighty Joe Young are old faves, and The Valley of Gwangi is just a guilty pleasure.

I dont see The Time Machine in the filmology page on his website. Did I miss it somehow???

My bad if it's not one of his. I always thought it was.

Time Machine was by the other great stop motion director, George Pal. ;)
