It Came From Beneath the Sea
Stop-motion legend Ray Harryhausen provides the giant-octopus magic in this 1955 creature-feature classic, which imagines the tentacled monster—roused from its cozy deep-sea lair by nuclear testing—sets a course straight for the San Francisco Bay, inspiring generations of future filmmakers to destroy the Golden Gate Bridge in the name of picturesque mayhem.
