The Lost World (1925)

I saw the restored "original" version of The Lost World (106 minutes) at Houston's Discovery Green outdoor film series, accompanied by a superb original soundtrack performed live by Austin's Green Hornet Project. The Lost World is a masterpiece that any film-history, stopmotion, or dinosaur fan should see at least once. It is because of this movie that we have King Kong, Godzilla, and Jurassic Park (albeit also Carnosaur 1, 2, and 3). If you are open to the magic of silent movies, please treat yourself to this show. 3.5 stars.
