King Kong needs no introduction and is an all-time classic.

The Land That Time Forgot was one of a number of Edgar Rice Burroughs' non-Tarzan novels that was brought to life in the mid-70's by Hammer Films big rival Amicus. Movies like The Land That Time Forgot, The People That Time Forgot, At The Earth's Core and the non-Burroughs Doc Savage formed a little sub-genre back in the `70's and all of them probably would have been a little more successful in the wake of Raiders of The Lost Ark, instead of presaging it.

One Million B.C. features more early dinosaur effects, and though a sort of cheesy love story, it's still fun. Enjoy.
