Line 22:
* ''[[King Kong]]'' - The Film that inspired Harryhausen, and the first [[Trope Codifier]].
* ''[[Mighty Joe Young]]'' - Harryhausen's first Hollywood gig, spiritual sequel to ''[[King Kong]]''. The effects were a collaboration between O'Brian and Harryhausen.
* ''[[The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms]]'' - While not the first [[Attack of the 50
* ''[[It Came From Beneath The Sea]]'' - [[Everything's Squishier with Cephalopods|Giant Octopus attacks San Francisco]]. Notably, the City Fathers didn't want to have their newly built [[Monumental Damage|Golden Gate Bridge]] destroyed in the film for fear it would show the bridge being a weak structure. The producers filmed guerrilla-style and put it in anyway. The octopus only has six tentacles, to save on animation time.
* ''[[The Animal World]]'' - Started as a Documentary about life, but the [[Stop Motion]] [[Everything's Better with Dinosaurs|Dinosaurs]] stole the show. It also reuinited Harryhausen with his idol Willis O'Brian.
Line 30:
* ''[[The 7th Voyage of Sinbad]]'' - His first full-length color film, and [[Trope Codifier]] for Harryhausen, introducing his iconic creature--the Living Skeleton.
* ''[[The Three Worlds Of Gulliver]]'' - An adaptation of ''[[Gulliver's Travels]]''.
* ''[[Mysterious Island]]'' - Sequel to ''20,000 Leagues Under the Sea''. [[Executive Meddling|Charles Shneer]] threw in [[Attack of the 50
* ''[[Jason and the Argonauts]]'' - Harryhausen's first world-recognized [[Crowning Moment of Awesome]] occurs with a battle with 7 skeletons. It took him several days to film one second of film--and he got the scene done in a single take! Also one of the [[Trope Codifier|Trope Codifiers]] and most iconic of Harryhausen's films.
* ''[[First Men in The Moon]]'' - Victorians [[In Space]] meet [[Bee People|Ant People]] on the moon.
