CULVER CITY, Calif., April 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Movie Channel pays tribute to Ray Harryhausen—the special effects pioneer who passed away a year ago this month—with themed blocks every Wednesday in May, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. On May 7, explore "The Early Work" with the SMC-exclusive documentary RAY HARRYHAUSEN: SPECIAL EFFECTS TITAN—a career-spanning retrospective as the man behind the monsters discusses his timeless films, combined with sit-down interviews with the filmmakers he inspired, such as Peter Jackson, Steven Spielberg, and Guillermo del Toro. The doc is followed by IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA and 20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH.

"Sinbad" is the focus on May 14, with THE 7th VOYAGE OF SINBAD; THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD; and SINBAD AND THE EYE OF THE TIGER; then it's "Seafaring Adventure" with JASON AND THE ARGONAUTS and THE 3 WORLDS OF GULLIVER, on May 21; and, on May 28, experience Jules Verne's MYSTERIOUS ISLAND, and the H.G. Wells-inspired FIRST MEN IN THE MOON in the "Fathers of Science Fiction" double feature. Additionally, SMC presents a nine-film marathon highlighting some of Harryhausen's most classic works, on Saturday, May 3 at 8:30 a.m. ET/5:30 a.m. PT.

Every Sunday in May, SMC is putting the spotlight on five Best Cinematography nominees whose boldness is best enjoyed in high definition in its new "HD Classics" block, at 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT.
