How is it possible? I don't get it. The 1933 King Kong is flat-out the greatest film of all time. It just friggin IS. It has dinosaurs! Native dancing! Biplanes! Beautiful women! Sarcastic sailors! Gunfire! Civic disobedience! It's romantic and violent and thrilling and real and gripping and full of pathos and power and imagination and humour andITS THE BEST FILM EVERRRRRRRRRR!!!!!(pantpantpantpantpantpantpantpant)Okay, sorry. Under control again. All I'm going to say is that if you're basing your opinion of Kong on Japanese monster movies or other crappy pop-culture crapity crap crap crap, PLEASE. You owe it to yourself to watch the original movie -- it is honestly one of cinema's greatest triumphs. I honestly can't imagine how you could NOT love this picture.Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm a weirdo. But I just wanted to plead for Kong -- if you watched it and didn't like it, I guess there's nothing more to be said. But he's gotten the Frankenstein treatment over the years -- so much pop culture ripoff action that the original's brilliance has nearly been eclipsed. Don't confuse the crap that rides on the coat-tails with the real Fred Astaire.King Kong is a GREAT film. Even the AFI agrees. You wouldn't disagree with the AFI, now would you?<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
