Having just watched the Harryhausen doc on Netflix, I felt compelled to poll this dude's work. Jason and the Argonauts will probably take this, but I think you could make a case for a lot of these.

Clash of the Titans was my favourite film for a bit as a kid, have to vote for that really.

Had to vote Jason just cos those skeletons are the coolest things ever and I just saw that documentary and holy crap they still look amazing. Also I was kind of shocked to find out that he did most of these completely by himself, and that his dad made many of the models.

far and away Jason tbh, 7th Voyage being the only one remotely close

but for years i thought my favourite Harryhausen was a 1962 flick called Jack the Giant Killer, turns out he didn't work on it.

Tough vote. Went for Jason for the Talos colossus sequence as much as the skeletons. I wonder if kids nowadays find stop motion creatures as terrifying. Second place would be Eye of the Tiger for me. The horned dragon, the minotaur, the beast man, all great.

_Equinox_ has some seriously creepy Harryhausen-esque monsters, too.

Watching the doc now and as amazing as they all are it has to be Jason and the Argonauts.

Thought the doc was a lot of fun. I'm always amazed at how punchable James Cameron is.
