Just watched Clash of the Titans. This DVD is in DESPERATE need of an SE!!!
Man, I forgot how awesome Clash of the Titans was! Haven't seen in it years. But this is one of those dvds that needs a re-released 2-disc Special Edition BADLY!!
please please PLEASE Warner Brothers, release a new SE edition containing:
1)Commentaries with Ray Harryhausen, Harry Hamlin and Burgess Meredith, Judi Bowker and Lawrence Oliviay.
2)Behind the scenese documentary explaining how they came up with the effects they did.
3)Documentary on the inspiration of films set in Greek Mythilogical times
4)Deleted scenes
5)Extended nude scene with Judi Bowker
After watching this dvd I am simply left wanting more. What are other fantasy films you'd recommend set in this period? I heard something about some old Sinbad movies?
Are there any films or documentaries discussing Greek Mythology?
Are there any films or docs discussing characters like Medusa? She freaks me out every time I watch this movie. She's one scary bitch!

Harry Hamlin, however, could use the paycheck especially since he is no longer on Veronica Mars.

If you're into Greek mythology, you might like The Odyssey starring Armand Assante. It's super cheesy, but some great depictions of some of the gods and goddesses and monsters (great bit with the cyclops, Polyphemus). Fun movie.
Also recommended: Troy, the original Jason and the Argonauts, and both the Xena and Hercules TV shows.

DVD Talk Limited Edition
I would loved to see a special edition of Jason and the Argonauts. Still my favorite Harryhausen's film of all time. I got the DVD and it's only has just the interview with John Landis and a documentary on Harryhausen. I understand that Criterion had a laserdics of the film, can anyone tell me what was on this if any owned this. Thank.

If you liked Clash Of The Titans, be sure to check out Jason & The Argonauts and The Golden Voyage Of Sinbad.
Do not check out TROY as suggested above. While it may (or may not) have some merits, it is nothing like Clash Of The Titans.

Too bad about not having more myth-movies. You'd think someone would revisit it with the success of the LotR movies and Narnia. Xena and Hercules series has long runs, so there's clearly an audience for this stuff. I thought the TV miniseries of "The Odyssey" (1997 with Armand Assante) was pretty good. The TV miniseries of "Jason and the Argonauts" (2000 with Jason London) didn't do much for me, and paled besides the 1963 movie despite advances in special effects.
