How have I not seen this??
This title does not pertain to one title in general....but classics that are mentioned numerous times throughout my life and on this forum....that I have just not got around to seeing! I would also like for you guys to hit me with some classic titles, because I am pretty sure I have not seen them.
My first movie classic that I have yet to have seen is.... https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon....0,1200_AL_.jpg |

Are you planning on watching them and posting about them here?

I think when I found out about Ulysses with Kirk Douglas I wondered why I'd never heard about it or seen it before. I love it, and it's one of the only adaptations of The Odyssey where the Sirens are included – shame we don't see them.

Yeah, it is. He gets the rest of the crew to temporarily block their ears up with wax so they're protected. I don't know how I missed it when I was younger but I was surprised to find that the Sirens appear in the story of Jason as well. In that situation they have Orpheus on board the Argo, so he just plays his music to repel the deadly song.
Jason and the Argonauts was one of my faves but it gave me nightmares, and also earned me the nic Gorgon because of my insanely curly hair and death stare. https://jaredandkyal.files.wordpress..._blu-ray_6.jpg |

I think I was okay with Jason but Clash of the Titans was scary. Calibos probably more so that Medusa actually. And Neil McCarthy's such a loveable bloke :D. I've just remembered the Hallmark version of Jason and the Argonauts – I didn't hate it and it did have some good parts. The children of the dragon's teeth were very cleverly done. |

It's great that Anthony Quinn's in it as well, and I like the way Silvana Mangano plays Circe and Penelope, as it's like Circe's just chosen that form to draw Ulysses in.
