#43: King Kong (1933)

Emily says:

I expected this film to be as hoaky as all of the spoofs of it over the years, and as terrible as the recent remake, but I actually enjoyed it much more than anticipated.  The special effects were pretty terrible, until you remember that it was made in 1933.  The scenes in which King Kong is climbing on the sides of the skyscraper are particularly badly done, but I enjoyed them so much.  The scene on top of the Empire State Building was especially iconic and fun to see in its original form.
