Legendary fantasy-adventure extravaganza JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS (1963)
August 22 : 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm
“Everyone loves it. It belongs on a short list of movies that are almost guaranteed to please everyone in any given audience, no matter how old or young they are or what culture they were raised in.” – Matt Zoller-Seitz, RogerEbert.com
One of the greatest, most thrilling adventure movies of all time, Jason and the Argonauts is pure cinematic joy. Based on the epic poem from Ancient Greece, The Argonautica, the film tells the tale of Jason (Todd Armstrong), son of a murdered King, who is diverted from ascending the throne by his search for the Golden Fleece, which can bring peace to his kingdom. A rip-roaring, sea-faring fantasy-adventure, Jason and the Argonauts is best known (and will forever be loved) for containing some of animator Ray Harryhausen’s most legendary effects: the multi-headed hydra, the giant bronze statue come to life, the bird-monster Harpies, and of course, the sword-wielding skeleton warriors. For fans of stop-motion, this film is basically uncut heroin. Or, as Tom Hanks perhaps more elegantly put it, “Some say Casablanca or Citizen Kane – I say that Jason and the Argonauts is the greatest film ever made.”
