@qualitygal   Ray Harryhausen!  Another fan here.  It's amazing to think of how  those movies were made.  No computer generated images.  Those creatures had to be positioned BY HAND.  Move the model just a bit. take couple of frames of film.  go back and move the model a bit more, take another few frames of film.  It was a Cinimatic marvel back then to see on the silver screen. 


LOL I never seem to spell his name right!!!   LOL Thanks  I know, a man of a lot of patience.

Well I followed the rules and narrowed my list to three, but it left out so many! It's impossible to not also call so many others favorites, too. Here are three more.
