Fantastic Dinosaurs of the Movies

I could not but enjoy this film, for it is nostalgic. I watched most of these films in theaters, drive-ins, or on my family's black & white tv from when I five through my early college years. GODZILLA was the first movie I saw at age five, when my sadistic older brothers tricked me into seeing it. I could not. sleep for days. Nonetheless, this began my love affairs with monster movies that remain with me into my retirement years. The first SHARKNADO is a favorite.

This feature is mostly trailers promoting the various films ranging from KING KONG through the Doug McClure features somewhat based on Edgar Rice Burroughs, Jules Verne, and Arthur Conan Doyle. Even when young, I recognized how cheesy some of these films are, but I like them. The Ray Harryhausen features are my favorite. Some of these movies have held up pretty well through the decades, like KING KONG and THEM.

I cannot call this film educational in any way, but it is highly entertaining. My only beef is that a number of these clips appeared to be mastered from second or third generation VHS tapes.

Enjoy!
