If watched fantasy movies in the 60s and 70s then you will know Harryhausen's work. Agreed that it now looks dated but back then it was cutting edge and the only way to bring monsters to life. Unfortunalty his work was rendered almost obsolete when Star Wars came along and changed everything. Touching tributes from various top level directors but you do sometimes question the level of reverance expressed toward Harryhausen and the importance of his work.
