Sorry about reviving this thread but I thought this tribute to Ray was kinda nice.

You can tell the presenter is a real fan.

Speaking of which, the documentary is having its US premiere on Sept 8th. We're having Phil Tippett and Dennis Muren as special guest with Tony Dalton from England on skype (or similar device).
