King Kong (1976)

An oil-searching expedition to a remote uncharted island unveils a mysterious community which sacrifices young girls to a gigantic ape.

The musical score is good. Almost nothing else is, though. Even so, somehow, it keeps itself out of dullness, barely. And since we are at it, Kong was obviously a bad guy. He killed countless previous women, which per se rules out any kind of sympathy I could have for him. And there should be a reasonable suspicion that he was a racist, since it took a white woman to make him fall in love, after those countless natives whom he just slaughtered.
