What is the best old King Kong movie to watch?

Anyone know what is one good old King Kong movie to watch long before Peter Jackson pretty much revived the whole King Kong with the theme of giant monkey and pretty blonde female human?

The original King Kong from 1933. The 1976 version is not as good but is in color.

If you did not want the King Kong story but a film with Kong in it could watch King Kong vs. Godzilla (1963) and King Kong Escapes (1967)

Definitely the restored and unedited original where Kong is eating and stomping the natives

The original 1933 King Kong is the best.

King Kong Escapes made in 1968

I'll go for the 1933 KING KONG. However, KING KONG ESCAPES is worth a watch as there are tributes to it in both KONG: SKULL ISLAND and GODZILLA VS. KONG, and is the first Kong film where Kong is the hero and there's a bond between him and a human.

The original from 1933, of course.

1976 if you are interested in Jessica Lange's boobs.

The 1933 version is easily the best.
