100 FOR A HUNDRED!!!!! 100. CLASH OF THE TITANS (1981, dir. Desmond Davis) An incredible combination of imagination, mythology, and innovation, Clash of the Titans stands firm as one of the classics in the fantasy genre. Blending traditional hero's journey with a tale of famous Greek gods and goddesses, Davis weaves heart and humor into a story that borders on camp yet still feels earnest and authentic. As Perseus fights through numerous obstacles (including Medusa and the Kraken) to win the hand of Andromeda, he is hounded at every turn by the villainous Calibos, spurned by Andromeda. Great performances by Harry Hamil, Maggie Smith, and Ursula Andress, it's the perfect Saturday afternoon film.
