Clash Of The Titans (1981) (Blu-ray)

I remember being fascinated by this film when I saw it as a child I thought it was fantastic, And even now despite all these years I still enjoy the magic of this film.
Based loosely on the Greek mythology of Perseus and the story of his battle to win the hand of the beautiful Andromeda who is cursed by the Greek goddess Thetis who is seeking her revenge against Zeus for what he did to her son.
The main talking point of this film is the superb special effects provided by Ray Harryhausen and his old style stop motion effect creatures these were done in the days before CGI effects were around and I for one think they add a certain charm to this film.

This is a really enjoyable Greek mythology tale that takes you on the adventure of a lifetime.
It will be interesting to see the remake with Sam Worthington to compare what 29 years can do with new special effects and all but this original Harryhausen stop motion masterpiece will forever hold a place in my heart.
