Ray Harryhausen was a special effects genius. Every part where the monster was, all the actors were spot on and made the beast real for us. 20 Million Miles from Earth remains my FAVORITE.

Loved this movie as a kid. Saw a re-release in the cinema in the mid '60s. It has always stuck with me - as most of Harryhausen's classics have!

[@richardblayneamerican8149]

In the 1960's, our CBS TV station in Chicago would show sci-fi/monster movies at 3:30, when we got home from school. This movie, with the Ymir, was my favorite. Thanks for this restored version!

[@tedbailey3673]

Same deal down the road in Indy!

[@PeBoVision]

Thank you Ray Harryhausen. You filled my childhood with such absolute wonder, and after over 60 years, your work still holds up (often better than the movie itself). Not sure if today's CGI will fare so well 60 years from now. Mighty Joe Young (!!!!) The Beast from 10,000 Fathoms Jason and the Argonauts Thre 7th Voyage of Sinbad The Golden Voyage of Sinbad Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger Earth vs the Flying Saucers (!!!!) One Million BC Gulliver It Came from Beneath the Sea Clash of the Titans The Valley of Gwangi (Sorry. Brain fart. Missing some.) Ray Harryhausen (1920-2013). A motion picture pioneer & master craftsman. Thanks to The Stream for posting this less frequently seen example, Hope making it to the end, and commenting helps your analytics.

[@dansweda712]

I prefer his special effects talent over any of today's CGI, if there could be a balance of the two it would be truly remarkable. I would love to find a complete DVD collection of his (best) movies, ps. thanks for the list

[@shaneh7129]

I love all the Sinbad movies... I've watched them a hundred times.

[@dansweda712]

@@shaneh7129 as a kid finding one of those movies on TV, like a sat. or sun. afternoon was awesome, because back then it was the only way you could see them, no VHS, no cable TV, no laser disc(lol), maybe beta but what was that? we can appreciate being able to just touch a screen and watch whatever we're in the mood for, right then right now, kids today have no idea what it was like

[@thomastarwater2989]

Add MYSTERIOUS ISLAND (1961) and FIRST MEN IN THE MOON (1964); the correct titles are THE THREE WORLDS OF GULLIVER (1960) and ONE MILLION YEARS B.C. (1966). Every one of Ray Harryhausen’s movies are a classic of the fantastic film. I have watched them all and enjoyed every one,

[@carycomic1954]

Actually, the correct title is THE BEAST FROM 20.000 FATHOMS.* Based on a short story called "The Foghorn" (originally published in Collier's, I believe) by Mr. Harryhausen's long-time friend, near-namesake, and fellow dino-enthusiast, Ray Bradbury. *Equals 120,000 feet!

My dad was not a touchy feely kinda guy, like most from his time. But one of the things he did was every Saturday night we would all watch "old" scifi movies. This was in the late 60's so some of these movies were only 10-15 years old. Anyway, nice memories and bonding time with my dad.

Love how they shoot a bazooka at the monster in the Coliseum. Miss twice, but don't seem to do any damage to the old brickworks. That is some solid construction.

[@zorpia621]

Actually, quite an entertaining movie! A little sci-fi, an alien creature, superb animation, backgrounds of Rome (with real Romans!) and of course, a little romance. This movie can only be appreciated in black and white, with a fast paced story line that is intriguing right to the end.

[@carycomic1954]

Incidentally, of the three feature films that William Hopper is best known for doing (when not playing Paul Drake on PERRY MASON starring Raymond Burr ), two of them were sci-fi. This one...and THE DEADLY MANTIS.

Ray harryhausen the master of stop motion dynamation!🦖🦕🐙🎥

[@tecnogof]

I was first introduced to this movie via the magazine, 'Famous monsters of film land'. The beast in this movies was referred to by the name 'Ymir'. Ray Harryhausen did the stop motion effects. This will be the second time watching...

[@grimscraggletag6799]

Which is odd that the creature is never once referred to as the "Ymir" in the movie. Lol.

[@pi.actual]

A high end movie in 1957. Filmed on location in Italy with real helicopters and airplanes plus the best special effects of the time. The stop animation or "clay-mation" as we called it is superb. With no digital cameras or computers it was done using clay figures moved and reanimated frame by frame with film cameras. FYI - Godzilla came out in 1954 using a different method with elaborate models and miniatures destroyed by a guy in a rubber suit. That must have been a fun job.

[@ipsprez8672]

Ray Harryhausen was one of the best in stop motion animation

[@pi.actual]

[@kolaiktomi]

My great grandmother had 3 stacked TVs, one with picture, one with sound and the other that had the signal. An old and fragile native american (Saponi) lady who had the biggest crush on Ray Harryhausen and the cooking skills of a drunken moose. She played old monster movies and only monster movies on her setup. Her husband was one of the guys who made the Spruce Goose and developed some cool rockets I got to play with as a kid who also introduced me to the joys of machining. Growing up with that lead me to my jobs as an aerospace engineer and game designer for a live action DnD game. I'd still like to use my Stan Winston School of Character Arts training, but meh, I'm happy. Bless the parents of Ray for giving our world his talents.

I've always loved this movie, ever since seeing it at the age of eight in 1957. Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion animation is admittedly more crude than its modern computerized counterpart, but it invokes a more disturbing kind of frightening realism just the same.

@Don DeCaire and the alien creature doesn't attack anyone unless they provoke it...pretty much like the animals of native earth. Sad. 😔

[@erocrush]

He was literally kidnapped by wannabe colonizers invading his world. As usual, we’re the actual monsters.

[@NewtonDKC]

So glad to see others feeling the same way I am at watching this. The poor creature wasn’t vicious at all (though it would understandable if he was!) - he was just scared and hungry, and probably very confused at the strange place he’s in (I’m assuming he was a baby and hatched from the gelatinous egg thing?). The dog attacked it first, and even then the creature waited before finally punching it - for all we know the dog is just unconscious. But even the astronaut guy tells everyone it isn’t dangerous unless provoked - and so immediately provokes it with a big pointy stick! How about you humans think and put some Oates in the cart and give it some quiet time to go in and eat, then Quietly shut the gate (not that I want it to be mistreated by scientists either!). But no, let’s threaten it and scare it even more, when quiet and calm gestures and offerings of Coates would have done wonders. Even then it only attacks after being stabbed in the back with a freaking pitchfork! And is then shot multiple times and just runs away. Not a violent or dangerous “beast’ at all. The sad part is this is how humans have typically acted in real life - attack first, kill, maim, wound, before considering or trying better options. Considering humans do these terrible things not only to different species but even other humans, I suppose it’s ridiculous to expect any better. If aliens somehow watch this stuff, then zero reason to wonder why they don’t make contact even if the government is gradually admitting to their presence. I just hope they realize some humans are peaceful and would never harm or be aggressive to peaceful others. And even tho this is a work of fiction, the fact that many of us can still empathize and call out when other humans are acting horribly gives me hope. Congrats fellow good and kind people! :-)
