Let's try to complete this without going to Wikipedia again...

Was the Beast of Hollow Mountain listed yet? How about The Black Scorpion? Didn't that have some stop motion?

I don't think The Time Machine (60's) has been listed yet either. There was some good stop motion in the time traveling segments.

Black Scorpion's listed, so...

53) The Beast of Hollow Mountain

54) The Time Machine

55) Gumby: The Movie

56) The Animal World (Has a segment of stop-mo dinosaurs animated by Willis O'brian and Ray Harryhausen. For some reason whenever Irwin Allen needed cheap dinosaur footage he'd always take the monitor lizard/alligator battle from The Lost World. Why he didn't re-use this is anyone's guess.)

I dont know if these have been mentioned yet:
56. The Terminator ( the endoskeleton rising from the wreckage and walking.)

61. Beetljuice ( sandworms)
62. Stanely and the dinosaurs.

Kubo was #7.  I don't remember any of the others, so:

56. The Terminator ( the endoskeleton rising from the wreckage and walking.)
57. The golden child ( the dancing soda can)
58. Claymation comedy of horrors ( a personal favorite and very special to me)
59. Howard the duck ( the lord of darkness monster thingy)
60. Beetljuice ( sandworms)
61. Stanely and the dinosaurs.

62) Robot Wars - Not the cool British show where real people build real robots which really fight each other, the lame mid-90's Charles Band DTV feature.  Cool Stop-mo robots, including a giant scorpion and a humanoid, but a plot that about as well thought out as Michael Bay's Transformers. Luckily it's a short feature, and I just bought it for the FX anyway.

Cool Stop Motion Robots.

63) Dragonslayer - How could we forget Phil Tippet's contribution to the world of cinematic dragons? Perhaps the best evil movie dragon till The Hobbit movies came out.

64) Krull - I normally don't think of this as a stop motion film, but the Widow of the Web is a beautiful sequence, even with some repeat footage.

Have we listed I Go Pogo yet? How about Return to Oz? Or The Adventures of Mark Twain?

Finally got a chance to check. None of these were on the list so we're now on #68. Who has 68?

Pacman000

68) The Box Trolls
69) Coraline

How can we have Kubo and not have these?

70) Noah's Ark - An experimental Disney film from the late 50's.
71) Alice in Wonderland - Not the Disney version, but a live-action stop-mo combination from a few years earlier http://www.poetv.com/video.php?vid=26147
72) The New Gulliver - A Soviet retelling of Jonathan Swift's satire. Same director as The Day the Earth Froze. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0026793/?ref_=nm_flmg_dr_13

Pacman000

73) The Golden Key. Appears to be a Pinocchio adaption w/ stop motion FX. Same director as The New Gulliver.

74) The Giant Behemoth
How can we forget this? It's reviewed on this very site!

75) Caveman
I believe the dinosaur(s) in this film were brought to life via stop mo. http://www.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9907EFD61138F934A25757C0A967948260

76) Dinosaurus!
How can we forget this? They fight a T-Rex with a wrecking ball!

Pacman000

77) Hercules (1983) - Most of the monster robots were realized with stop mo.

78) Starcrash - Same director and FX artist as Hercules. Features stop mo scenes inspired by Jason and the Argonauts.

79) The Puppetoon Movie - Gumby hosts a film festival of George Pal's old shorts.

80) Gumby
81) Davey and Goliath

RC already listed a TV show, Land of the Lost, so we might as well list these old Art Clokey shows.

82) It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World

I mentioned this earlier, but didn't list it because the stop-mo segment was only a short part of the film's run time. We've now listed other films with only one or two stop mo scenes, so I'll list this now.

Come on, fewer than 20 now...
