Jason and the Argonauts
According to the gods, after Pelias takes the throne of Thessaly, he will be overthrown by one of the children of the true king. So to prevent this fate Pelias attempts to slaughter them; he succeeds in killing the daughters, but misses the son Jason. Upon reaching adulthood, Jason embarks on a quest to reclaim his rightful throne, soon he meets and saves, but doesn’t recognise Pelias. His nemesis tells him that to obtain his goal he must assemble a crew of the finest men in Greece and sail to Colchis, to find the legendary Golden Fleece. On board the ship Argonaut they are joined by Hercules and protected by Hera, Queen of the gods herself: yet many dangers await them on such a perilous voyage and Hera may only help them thrice.

The skeleton battle, that lasts for about three mintues of screen time, took Ray Harryhausen almost four months to complete. Also the skeleton's shields have designs of various other monsters that Harryhausen had designed for other films.
