The amazing stop motion of
Ray Harryhausen against the world of
greek mythology, kind of.
The characters are all incredibly rigid, even for a Greek myth, the story of
Perseus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perseus,
get's a makeover, that takes the hero throughout the world of
greek myths, he meets
the Fates,
Zeus,
Medusa, and
the Kraken, and even gets a golden mechanical owl.
It's maybe the last great adventure film, without CGI or some form of "
modern" special effects.
But that's making a mountain of a molehill, when most
immediately it's just childhood favorite.
My grandmother showed me this and "
The Seventh Voyage Of Sinbad", another
Harryhausen classic, and this just makes me all warm and fuzzy.

See it before it get's remade.
