Thank you for voting. If your vote meets our King Kong-Eighth Wonder of the World( DVD 2001)
) Forget the fairly recent Peter Jackson remake, this is the King Kong Movie to own.Made in 1933 the special effects are excellent for that time, and Fay Wray's performance as the penniless girl who get lured to Skull Island by Robert Armstrong to make a Picture, is the definative Kong girl.
The acting is a little stilted, but this was normal for the Thirties and the part of the movie where Kong comes to New York to find Wray, and the scene on the Empire State Building is Classic.
Forget, the previous King kong Movies (I.e The 1976 Version,King Kong Lives, King Kong Escapes, and the Peter Jackson Film) as this is the best, and this edition comes with a Documentary about the making of this Movie.
At about a Fiver this is Great value, and I would recommend without hesitation as this is a Film you can watch fairly regularly and find new angles which you didn't see on your first viewing.

King Kong - The Eighth Wonder of the World.
) What is there to say about this film. The original Kong Kong is a classic. The special effects are brill for the time it was made. Always feel really sad at the end of film, no matter how many times I watch it, and you will NEVER get an other actress to scream like Fay Wray. This film is in my top Ten Fav Films at number 6. Everyone should see this version of this film, the latest was ok, but not a patch on this one. I'd like to see them make a classic film like King Kong now, but only use the technology they had then. THEY COULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO IT.
Buy a copy and enjoy it.

) It might be old, it might look arthritic against today's CGI movies but this is still the best (Peter Jackson's loving recreation is just one point behind out of a 100 - but this was the original!)
