What film did Falken show on the projector?
What was the film (the one with dinosaurs) that Falken showed on the projector? I think that scene is taken from an adventure film in the 30s or 40s.

shareI believe that is The Lost World (1925)
shareI've always thought that the film he showed them was The Land That Time Forgot from 1975.
The film Falken was showing them was a color film, and while The Lost World is a groundbreaking film, it was made in B&W.
Really? I would have placed my bet on The Lost World. I remember Falken's film being b&w and in very crude stop-motion animation, way too primitive such even for a 1975 film... However, it's been years since I watched Wargames, so I probably don't remember it correctly. I have to rewatch it... :-)
By the way thanks for your replies and help!
Lol, Ray Harryhausen would have been 5 in 1925, he's even more of genius than we previously thought...
I recognized it as a Harryhausen sequence, but couldn't remember the movie.
The Connections sidebar mentions The Land That Time Forgot.
shareI thought it looked a lot like the dinosaur fight sequence in One Million Years, B. C. (1966).
