One of my favourite films of all times, and a fantastic example of stop motion animation at its most thrilling. Ray Harryhausen created some of the most memorable scenes in cinematic history with his genius. Everybody knows and loves the sword fight scene with the skeleton soldiers.

The plot needs no explanation because it is the story of the Greek legend of Jason’s journey to find the Golden Fleece (many historians now think that Jason’s voyage was based on truth).

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen this film and I enjoy it just as much now as I did when I was a child. I never tire of it.

Truly unmissable!
