This film, which sparked off the reactionary Rambo series, is a gem. Stallone plays a skilled jungle fighter, who finds himself a social outcast on his return from Vietnam, and makes war with the authoritarian uniformed forces whom he once represented. Both cool on action and politically PC, a must watch for those who think the Rambo character was purely a demented racist imperialist with a ridiculously accurate gun.

This is the director's cut of the 1933 classic. It contains several scenes that were originally excised and is taken from a restored archive print. Kong looks as terrifying as ever and there is also a half-hour documentary of celebrating the 60th anniversary of the making of King Kong. Excellent stuff.
