King Kong on Thanksgiving?

When I was a kid, growing up in the cleveland area, we'd go over to my grandparents' house and they had cable. After dinner, more than anything, I remember sitting down and watching King Kong. Unfortunately, it was the crappy 1970s version, but at the time, it was still awesome to me. I've since seen the original and appreciate it more, but whenever I think of Thanksgiving, I think of Macy's, FOOD (mmmmm), football and King Kong.



Funny thing is, I haven't seen King Kong since I was a kid, and that was MANY yrs ago, but it's still a lasting impression.



Does anyone else remember that? This is a memory that seems out of place with normal Thanksgiving associations, but it's one of mine, nonetheless, so I have to ask.King Kong on Thanksgiving?
Oh yes ...here on the east coast for many years the 1933 black and white version was always shown..the one starring Faye Wray (That is the correct spelling of her name) and also staring Robert Armstrong as Carl Denham.It would come on and my sisters and I would be right in front of the set.But then they stopped showing it and it just did not feel like Thanksgiving without it.So when it came out on DVD we had to get it...we still put it on..LOL ! I know that they have done remakes on it ..but they are all quite disappointing...King Kong on Thanksgiving?
Thanks so much for selecting my answer.I know what you mean....but now that it is on DVD...you can enjoy it on Thanksgiving Day.

King Kong on Thanksgiving?
I love King Kong... I remember all those old movies used to be on on Thanksgiving when I was a kid.



I don't like the 70's version, either.



But the new version that came out a few years ago is really good. But I still favor the original, but I'm a lover of old black %26amp; whites.
At Thanksgiving I Remember Watching It's a Wonderful Life.
