|

 | Munchhausen
Buy new: $26.99 / Used from: $14.48 1943 A Nazi-made film that was created to divert the German public from the atrocities being committed (I've included this film in spite of its controversy; I believe in learning from the sins of the past, not censoring them)
* features material inappropriate for children including gratuitous nudity
|
 | The 7th Voyage of Sinbad
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $5.82 1958 One of the greatest fantasy/adventure films ever made (Harryhausen's effects are dazzling)
|
 | The Golden Voyage of Sinbad
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $5.87 1973 The second in the Sinbad series is less of a sequel and more of a reimagining (too bad it's not available in widescreen)
|
 | Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger
Buy new: $17.99 / Used from: $7.49 1978 Probably the weakest of the Sinbad films but sill worth the purchase

|
 | Mysterious Island (Widescreen)
Buy new: $14.94 / Used from: $6.18 1961 Based upon characters and ideas by Jules Verne, this film has some fantastic moments
|
 | Jason and the Argonauts
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $3.92 1963 One of the best "old-timer" fantasy films, features the classic scene in which Jason must battle reanimated skeletons (amazing work by Harryhausen)
|
 | Clash of the Titans (Snap Case)
Buy new: $5.79 / Used from: $5.49 1981 Cheesy as could be but still incredibly entertaining and often thought to be some of Harryhausen's best effects
* includes two brief scenes featuring nudity (a woman taking a bath and another woman nursing are hardly inappropriate in my mind, but I thought that more conservative parents should know)
