This movie should be higher…er…lower on the list. If not in the top ten, certainly in the top 25. It’s that great. It’s the movie that made me love movies, when I saw it as a kid in Chicago in the 1950’s. “Wow! this is what movies can do?” It still holds up in its weird stop animation way…and that incredible score! I would rank it four. It set the standard for all of the special effects movies that have followed, and as we all know that has become the standard of the summertime blockbuster. Hey, and the story is as poignant today as ever.
