🏸 First King Kong Movie Ever

1976's "King Kong" remakes the original movie with modern special effects and storytelling, but remains basically the same as the 1933 version. Produced by Dino De Laurentiis, directed by John Guillermin and starring Jeff Bridges, Jessica Lange (in her first movie role) and Charles Grodin, the story is told on a much bigger scale than ever before. King Kong was the first movie i saw more than once at the cinema. I love the movie as a love letter to the original 1933 movie, and happily watch it when I catch it on TV. That being said, I prefer Kong Skull Island because "loud monster action and 70's rock." King Kong immediately climbed to the top of the domestic box office with just over $66 million upon its wide theatrical release on Dec. 14, 2005. Despite a hefty budget of $207 million (one of the priciest studio investments at the time) and a runtime the size of Kong himself, the remake defied the odds, becoming a financial wonder of the world NyX4.
