Jason and the Argonauts (1963 film)

We present our screening of this wonderful film in tribute to the master of stop-motion animation, Ray Harryhausen, who would have been 100 this summer. This beautifully detailed film is an unforgettable journey crammed full of monsters, bickering gods, mighty heroes in peril ... and, of course, those rampaging skeletons ... It is now considered a cult classic, being described by the Rotten Tomatoes website as "an outlandish, transportive piece of nostalgia whose real star is the masterful stop-motion animation work of Ray Harryhausen". This screening will (as always) be introduced by Barry Purves with informed trivia, anecdotes and some background of the production. Our kiosk will be open for you to buy those naughty treats before the film starts. Come and join us in a friendly, informal and Covid-19 safe atmosphere, to take advantage of sensational screening facilities as well as our low prices and free car park.
