[PAR] [TLE] King Kong (1976 film) [SEP] King Kong is a 1976 American monster film produced by Dino De Laurentiis and directed by John Guillermin.  It is a modern remake of the 1933 classic film of the same name about a giant ape that is captured and imported to New York City for exhibition.  Featuring special effects by Carlo Rambaldi, it stars Jeff Bridges, Charles Grodin, and Jessica Lange in her first film role. [PAR] [TLE] Flash Gordon (film) [SEP] Flash Gordon is a 1980 science fiction action film created in Technicolor and Todd-AO, based on the King Features comic strip of the same name created by Alex Raymond.  The film was directed by Mike Hodges and produced by Dino De Laurentiis.  It stars Sam J. Jones, Melody Anderson, Topol, Max von Sydow, Timothy Dalton, Brian Blessed and Ornella Muti.  The movie was co-written by Michael Allin (of "Enter the Dragon" fame) and Lorenzo Semple Jr. (who had previously scripted De Laurentiis's remake of "King Kong").  It intentionally uses a camp style similar to the 1960s TV series "Batman" (for which Semple had developed and written many episodes) in an attempt to appeal to fans of the original comics and serial films. Although a box office success in the United Kingdom, it performed poorly overseas.  The film is notable for its soundtrack composed, performed and produced by the rock band Queen, with the orchestral sections by Howard Blake.  The film has since gained a significant cult following.
