The Thief Of Bagdad / UK / 1940

Six directors famously contributed to this richest of British fantasy epics, looting the One Thousand And One Nights for it’s most populist elements- genies, flying carpets, beautiful princesses and dastardly black magicians with unsettling facial hair. And the film was itself looted over the years, most recently for Disney’s retelling of the Aladdin story. But it has rarely been bettered- the effects and performances may have dated, but the sense of sheer verve and adventure is timeless.
