Giant of the Silver Screen...

So much more than a film about a giant ape, you can pretty much conjure him into almost any allegorical theme or representation that takes your fancy, although I'm not sure that was the original intent. The scenes on the Empire State Building are as iconic as any that were ever produced, perhaps the most iconic ever. A timeless classic, a timeless story that will continue to be copied in variation, and remade, but seldom equalled.

The King is Dead! Long live Merian C. Cooper!

Considered to be the fifth greatest horror movie of all time, 1933's King Kong lives up to its reputation. Although it's special effects are primitive compared to today's standards it's utilization of stop motion, giving Kong the ability to appear to be moving on his own, is second to none for a 1930s horror film.
