26-20,000 Leagues Under The Sea-1954;
27-The War of the Worlds-1953;
28-When Worlds Collide-1951.Note: There are four films on this list that feature stop-motion
effects wizard, Ray Harryhausen: The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms;
Earth Vs The Flying Saucers; It Came From Beneath The Sea and
20 Million Miles To Earth. These effects are outstanding. Harryhausen's mentor, Willis O'Brien, did effects for The Black
Scorpion, with variable results. This film features one of the
giant spiders that starred in King Kong-1933; unfortunately, the
horrendous, man-eating scene by giant spiders in the ravine was
cut(and later lost)by the producer&director as they discerned from
customer post-reaction that those spidies were stealing thunder
from the giant ape! ~AH
