I've already given you reps for this but I must say it's one of the most intresting lists I've seen. I'm trying to get a hold of Drowning By Numbers

I've got others I've been wanting to add to this list for a while, and will eventually, but I've waited more than long enough to add no. 115:



King Kong (Peter Jackson, 2005)

Effects-wise, that's why this movie stands out from its predecessors (notably Spielberg's Jurassic Park films, which feel downright clumsy next to this) and contemporaries. King Kong also has a lot of dimension as a character in this version, but I have to admit my very favorite scene is where he beats up on three Allosaurus-like monsters. It's funny how degrees of character are set up in this movie. The Dinosaurs are roughly to the humans what the humans are to King Kong: vulgar, predacious buffoons.

It's really great, and I think I like it better than the original now. If I were to re-rank my list today, it'd probably be pretty high.
