Visual effects giant Ray Harryhausen passed away Tuesday at the age of 92. He was revered in Hollywood for his pioneer effects work in the 1950s and ’60s, having invented many stop-motion and animation techniques that have become industry standards.
Check out all of Harryhausen’s highest-ranked films on Flickchart, and while you’re at it, you can revisit some of the master’s greatest creature creations, from Jason and the Argonauts to Clash of the Titans, in this fan-made compilation video:

There’s no way I make it out of this week without spending $200 in Blu-rays. The car payment can wait.

What do you fellow Flickcharters have to say?
Charyou_Tree – “A lifeless rendering of a classic Christmas story is no match for Pixar, even if the Pixar film in the other corner just so happens to be the worst they have produced thus far.”

What do you fellow Flickcharters have to say?
celticshk – “Two of the worst films ever. Really hard to decide which is worse, but I think The Last Airbender wins by a small margin as it charges higher ticket price for its 3D effects.”

One of those semi-indie movies that comes around every year that white people go crazy for (myself included). This one stars Mark Ruffalo and Julianne Moore.

A movie with Keith David in it should be ranked more than 5 times between theater and DVD release. I’m stunned by that number. It made $4 million more than The Kids Are All Right but was ranked .3% as many times.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a bigger mythology nut than me, so catching this (on a easy to see 2D Blu-ray) is a major priority. If you also dig on mythology and flicks, the book “The Ancient World in the Cinema” by an old professor of mine is a great read.

It’s Repo! The Genetic Opera but without the opera. Despite my massive love for musicals, I personally was not a fan of that flick but completely understand why 14 year old girls like it. This one looks like it’s much more “serious” and more of a straightforward action flick.

Rob Corddry and Zach Galifianakis in a spy-thriller? That’s just crazy enough to work. The movie has an incredible ensemble cast and looks, to me at least, to be a fun way to kill a couple hours. Check out this clip for some proof of the funny.

Animated superhero movies are the best. There’s nothing better to throw on one monitor, while I get some work done on the other. The only conceivable reason I would ever want kids is so I could buy movies like this without getting dirty looks when I get to be in my 40′s.

The story of a very successful, real-life martial arts teacher. The man taught Bruce Lee everything he knew, so hopefully there’s an interesting movie in there somewhere. Flickcharters seem to be responding to it very positively so far, so I’m guessing it’s worth a look.

Documentary about the struggle to control a $25 billion private art collection. The collection was started by a dude who made his money creating a treatment for a sexually transmitted disease in the 1800′s. Flickchart rankings aren’t great right now but it looks interesting.
From Pan’s Labyrinth (2006):

From the new Clash of the Titans trailer:

Yeah… We know it’s a remake, but come on… Really?
