King Kong - (movie poster)A landmark film and a marvel in stop-motion animation, King Kong is the story about the giant ape who is captured on prehistoric Skull Island and brought back by boat to New York City. Robert Armstrong stars as the adventurer Carl Denham, who leads the trip to the strange island to photograph the monster. Along for the trip is Ann Darrow (Fay Wray) and Bruce Cabot as John Driscoll, the ship's first mate. King Kong's last stand atop the Empire State Building is one of the more memorable scenes in movie history.
