- "Stanley Kubrick directed a cast of screen legends--including Kirk Douglas as the idominatable gladiator that led a Roman slave revolt--in the sweeping epic that defined a genre and ushered in a new Hollywood era. The assured acting, lush Technicolor cinematography, bold costumes and visceral fight sequences won Spartacus four Oscars; the blend of politics and sexual suggestion scandalized audiences. Today Kubrick's controversial classic, the first film to openly defy Hollywood's blacklist, remains a landmark of cinematic artistry and history."

- "Fantastic special effects by Ray Harryhausen and exciting mythological adventure make this a film that is fun for everyone. It's the story of Jason, a fearless sailor and explorer, who returns to the kingdom of Thessaly after a 20 -year voyage to make his rightful claim to the throne. But to do so, Jason must first find the magical Golden Fleese. He selects a crew and with the help of Hera, Queen of the Gods, sets sail in search of the Fleece. Jason and his crew must overcome incredible obstacles including a 1000-foot bronze giant, the venomous Hydra--a huge creature with the heads of seven snakes--and a spectacular battle with an army of skeletons."

- Federico Fellini
- "Step into the bawdy, erotic, and titillating world of Rome during the days of Emperor Nero, where two competing teachers play tricks on each other while vying for the same lover's charms. Paralleling the self-indulgence of modern society , these Romans pursue their own gratification above all else, resulting in both intense pleasure and enormous despair displayed in visually seductive scenes that are both shocking, unprecedented and brilliantly stunning."

- Desmond Davis
- "Olympian Gods, mythological monsters, and heroic mortals populate this imaginative spectacle. Harry Hamlin is Perseus, mortal son of Zeus, and champion of captive Andromeda. From that storyline, Harryhausen unleashes sea creature Kraken, snake-haired Medusa, swamp denizon Calibos, flying horse Pegasus, two-headed dog Dioskilos, giant scorpions and all manner of eye-popping adventure. Let the clash begin"
