Just watched the 1950's Beast from 20,0000 Fathoms on DVD. Excellent! The first professional collaberation between Ray Bradbury and Ray Harryhausen. There would have been no Jurassic Park without films like this. The final scene where the Beast destroys the Coney Island funfair is really great. The extras are fab - explaining how the two Rays helped form the Rocket Society in 1940, a group of like-minded sci fi buffs and scientists. Must have been great to be part of! Recommended film.
