On July 19 1983 a brand new species of dinosaur is unveiled at the Natural History Museum in London; the flesh eating dinosaur is believed to be over 125 million years old. With this day in history in mind, the theme for today will be films about dinosaurs-enjoy!
1 Jurassic Park (1993) Director: Steven Spielberg
Based on the Michael Crichton novel about a theme park created to replicate the dinosaur age-Won Academy Awards for Best Sound and Best Effects...
2 King Kong (1933) Director: Merian C. Cooper/Edgar Wallace
Movie makers go to an island with prehistoric creatures and discover a giant gorilla who becomes obsessed with their leading lady (Fay Wray) - remade in 2005 to positive reviews...
3 Creation (1931) Director: Willis H O'Brien
The first dinosaur movie made of the sound era about a lost submarine that stumbles upon an island filled with dinosaurs-used stop motion animation to depict dinosaur scenes...
4 The Valley of Gwangi (1969) Director: Jim Connolly
A cowboy (James Franciscus) tries to become rich and famous by capturing a T-Rex and putting it into a circus...
5 One Million Years B.C. (1966) Director: Don Chaffey
Well known film about a caveman (John Richardson) who encounters many dangers, such as dinosaurs, after being banished from his home-known more for having the beautiful Raquel Welch as love interest than for quality filmmaking
As I have only seen one film from the above list (Jurassic Park) I look forward to your feedback-enjoy!
