Jason and the Argonauts 1963

Childhood favourite!!!! I love how it's made. The practical effects are Superb to me!!! I think it's Must-Watch for any one!

Best version ever!!!!!!!! Childhood classic for me

A film I first watched about 40 years and it produces great childhood memories and considering it's a 1963 release the effects really are impressive for the time. A big thumbs up film for me which never fails to grab me every time its shown.

This is probably Ray Harryhausen's best film. It features the army of skeletons, the seven-headed Hydra, and for my money, the greatest Harryhausen creation Talos, the massive bronze warrior. It's still pretty frightening when the mighty Talos statue begins to rise and then pursues Jason and his Argonauts.

The only thing that keeps me from giving this my highest rating is that the story falls a little flat. There's really not much to it. Also, the Harryhausen effects are so awesome that the movie drags quite a bit when they aren't on-screen.

Lastly, the Bernard Herrmann score adds much to this film, but I prefer some of his other work for Hitchcock and the Twilight Zone.

I used to watch this movie when I was a child with my Dad whilst my mom cooked Sunday dinner in the kitchen. It is one of my favorites of all time!
