King Kong (1933)

The “Eighth Wonder of the World” is back on the big screen for the 90th anniversary of this landmark fantasy epic about an egomaniacal filmmaker (Robert Armstrong) who organizes a trek into uncharted territory in the hopes of discovering a unique creature that he can capture, bring back to civilization, and exploit for profit. With a beautiful young actress (Fay Wray) in tow, his crew explores the mysterious, fog-enshrouded Skull Island, where they encounter something tall, dark, and very hairy.
