I've been seeing the rather memorable name "Harryhausen" show up in the technical credits of a few of the drive-in B-movies to which I am addicted, and it seems to be a sign that visually, at least, the film will be above average. A couple I can remember from a year or two ago are "Earth vs the Flying Saucers" (with an memorable scene of a saucer crashing into the Washington Monument) and "20,000 Million Miles to Earth," featuring a monster than was quite charming.
