One of my fondest memories was having a snow day/no school when I was about ten and King Kong was the morning movie on the local station. Lying on the carpet, watching the tube, lost in a dream world of giant apes and dinosaurs. Just perfect.

(There were only thirteen channels back then, and only what the rabbit ears could pick up.)

It's a truly great flic. But it was only a few years ago when I watched it again that I noticed that Fay Wray was really hot!
