A night of giant ape fun:
"King Kong" (1933)
-Fay Wray
Plot: A film crew discovers a colossal ape living on an island of prehistoric creatures, captures him and brings him to New York (really bad idea)
Phantom's Review: Like you really need to read a review of this film. We all know this is one of the greatest monster movies ever made. Great FX, acting and story, and they didn't need 3 hours to tell it. a true classic from beginning to end.
"King Kong Escapes" (1967)
Plot: IMDB
King Kong is brought in by an evil ruler to dig for precious gems in a mine when the robot MechaKong is unable to do the task. This leads to the machine and the real Kong engaging in a tremendous battle that threatens to level Japan.
Phantom's Review: A not-so-classic (but still tremendous fun) Japanese sequel to "Kong". Goofy as hell, but lots of fun to watch.
