king kong (2005)

"And lo, the beast looked upon the face of beauty, and beauty stayed his hand. And from that day forward, he was as one dead."
New York in 1933 is in the midst of a depression and Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts) finds herself an out of work vaudeville act. Until she bumps into Carl Denham (Jack Black), a scheming film producer who needs a size 4 actress, and she fits perfectly. Convinced to join him and his film crew, she finds herself on Skull Island, kidnapped and presented to Kong, a present of the tribe...
A masterful version of the film, adding another level of pathos with a back story and state of the art cgi.

braindead (1992)

aka Dead Alive.
It's 1957 in Wellington, New Zealand and Mothers boy Lionel (Timothy Balme), still lives at home with his overbearing mother (Elizabeth Moody).Unfortunately for him he falls for a girl (Diana Peñalver), and his mother being the possessive type tries to sabotage their date. This backfires on her as she gets bitten by a Sumatran rat-monkey and turns into a puss ridden monster before dying. All while Lionel tries to hide this from her friends and more importantly his girlfriend. But that's not the end of her, as she rises as a zombie determined to keep her child out of temptation. Whilst Lionel tries to stop her and her infected followers.
Wonderfully inventive and vastly over the top gore-fest of slapstick humour and out and out horror.
