rex, Brontosaurus, Stegosaurus and Pteranodon in King Kong (1933), and even that quick-but-shocking appearance of the Brontosaurusin the “Odyssey of Flight 33” episode of The Twilight Zone- but I’m going to focus on movies in which dinosaurs were the main attraction. I’m sure I’ll get into some of the dino books and TV shows I enjoyed back then in future posts, but here I want to revisit the movies featuring dinosaurs I most enjoyed - usually over and over and over again, whenever I happened to notice they were on TV, either as part of some creature-feature program, or simply one of the morning or afternoon movies that local TV channels used to air regularly.ĭinosaurs and related prehistoric creatures feature at least in bit parts in many films that I loved then and still love now, and I always got excited to see them in even cameo appearances - like the T.
Starting at about age 5 in the middle of the ’70s, when I wasn’t reading books about dinosaurs or helping my kindergarten teacher correctly pronounce some of their names or rambling on about them to anyone in my vicinity or imagining my own stories about these long-extinct creatures that fascinated me so much, I was watching dino movies and shows on TV. Even a cheesy-looking scene like this one from 1974’s The Land That Time Forgot remains charmingly endearing to me.
