This is probably the complete list that I have either seen or recalled-

Clash of the Titans (creator of special visual effects)

1977 Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger (creator of special visual effects)

1973 The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (creator of special visual effects)

1969 The Valley of Gwangi (creator of visual effects)

1957 20 Million Miles to Earth (technical effects created by)

1955 It Came from Beneath the Sea (visual effects)

He was involved with and produced a bunch of others but I know I have seen each of these. The king of stop animation techniques.
 
Re: Dead!!!!

:( The only female winner on The $64,000 Question. And the producers wanted her to lose, too.

They had at first turned her down. They didn't like her area of expertise and suggested she return when she had a better one. She hit the books and came back as an expert on boxing. The producers agreed not to ask her any questions about referees. But they double crossed her and did anyway, and she obviously got it right. She was not given any answers in advance.

Another story that reflects well on her: somewhere along the line she had a televised desk and couch show. On one occasion, as she was making her entrance, she took a spectacular pratt fall. They reshot the opening, of course, but she insisted on showing the fall to the TV audience.
