Favorite dinosaur movie

Post by Bighuey »

I trhought this would be a good one. Ever since I was a kid I always had a thing for dinosaurs. I had books, saw all the movies, had models, ive still got some of those. My top three movies are, The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms, the 2nd Jurrasic Park movie Lost World, and an obscure one that came out in 1948 called Unknown Island. Theres about a thousand more that I like, but these are my top three. What are yours? Put as many as you want.

Do The Flinstones qualify?

I still love the Flintstones but as for movies I suppose the original Jurassic Park is my favourite, but does Godzilla qualify? I love the old films with Godzilla in them....all classics in there day.

Godzilla definitly qualifies. Its one of the original classics. Ive always liked them, too. Even the bad ones. Another favorite of mine was Caveman with Ringo Starr. That was a hoot where the T-Rex was chasing those guys and they threw a pot plant in front of it, the T-Rex stopped, ate the plant, rolled over with a goofy look on his face, higher than a kite. The Ray Harryhausen dinosaur movies were among the best, also.

I'm usually a bit of an election junkie but you're right I'm pissed off with the gang of posers applying for a non-job.

Heres a bit of trivia which may or may not be true. I think its true. When they made the movie Godzilla 1985, they wanted Raymond Burr in it, because he was in the first Godzilla movie. But by that time he had become famous as Perry Mason. He told them he wasnt interested, but apperently they kept bugging him so to get them off his back, he told them he would do it for a flat million dollars. Toho replied, they said ok, no problem. He only had a few scenes in it, 15 minutes or so total. Pretty good wages for 15 minutes work.
