King Kong

He is billed as "the eighth wonder of the world" and, in the sixty years since the movie's release, animator Willis O'Brien's awesome creature has all but lived up to that title. This classic version of the beauty and the beast theme is now a firm cult favourite, with the final sequence atop the Empire State Building now cinema folklore.
