King Kong
2005
Set in the 1930s, Peter Jackson's remake of the black-and-white classic follows a group of adventurous explorers and filmmakers (including Jack Black, Adrien Brody and Andy Serkis) to mysterious Skull Island, where they search for a legendary giant gorilla known as King Kong. The team battles dinosaurs and, with the help of a beautiful woman (Naomi Watts), manages to capture the mighty ape and ship him back to New York.

Solidly done but rather forgettable. And seriously, the portrayal of the villagers is still racist; you can't play the "it's a classic" card on that one.
