Shawn Okeefe's MovieNerd Review for King Kong

King Kong

Movie

1976

An oil company finds a giant ape and thinks, “Let’s bring it to New York—great idea.” Kong falls for Jessica Lange, the humans make nonstop bad decisions, and he ends up climbing the Twin Towers to file a complaint about his trip. Messy, ridiculous, and somehow still fun.
