Love this version. The music makes it

This is my favorite version. I guess the oil crisis story appeals to me more than the island being a nice place to shoot a movie. I dunno, maybe there's more to it than that, been a little while since I've seen it all the way through.

I saw this at the theater when it was released, and that music score is what I enjoyed and remembered the most. Liked it so much I went out and bought the L.P. Not crazy about the movie in general, but the score is incredible.

Agree.

One of the first 'real' movies I watched as a kid. It's silly and campy now but still watchable. Truly, John Barry's unforgettable score does so much for this flick!

"...I reserve the right to change my opinion on a movie at any point in time."

I've always enjoyed this version; not as good as the '33 version, but still a vastly underrated film in its own right.







"Martyr me for Cordis Die."

I do, too. I've loved this film ever since I was a child. Yes, it's flawed, but somehow as a child and happily still, as an adult, I can see past that. The music is outstanding and gives the film tremendous appeal.

I absolutely love the score for this movie, you really feel for the characters because of the music

I've heard much better from John Barry (Out of Africa, Dances With Wolves), but the guy virtually never disappoints. Fantastic score. Wish the rest of the film were up to snuff, but all in all it's a picture I enjoy.

Yes! I too wholeheartedly agree! The score truly has ambient, MESMERIZING tracks that do NOT involve King Kong and/or high-tension scenes........ such as when the petrox crew first arrive on the island and you see Dwan running towards the waterfall as jack follows! As well as another scene, just after they rescued Dwan and shows her and the crew doing things to kill time while enroute to the island! Also, when Kong takes dwan for a "bath" in the waterfall​!
