King Kong - better in 1933


The 1933 King Kong is still the mother of all big Hollywood monster movies. If you've not seen it yet tie a knot in your handkerchief to remind yourself. Its a great film. Its better than the modern one. The special effects are fantastic, even by today's standards, and the heartbroken, heartbreaking look in Kong's eyes as the planes shoot him off the Empire State building remains the greatest single special effects shot ever made.
