Monkey Movies

Post by TheDenizen »

http://www.criticker.com/?fl&filter=e31829

Just started this collection...and I need a little help. I'm looking specifically for movies with real primates in them...no "Harry and the Hendersons"-style apesuits or King Kong flicks. Also not looking for nature documentaries.

I'm pretty sure Burt Reynolds did a couple of flicks with a chimp, and probably Ronald Reagan as well, but I don't know the titles...I'm sure there's lots of others I'm missing as well.

Thanks in advance.

I literally downloaded this a couple of weeks back on Cinemageddon. Very excited about it, too!

Anyways, this is an awesome idea for a collection, but I'm having difficulty finding anything past the 14 movies presently listed.

Not that I recommend any of these but,

Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, with Spike the capuchin monkey.Image

Also:
The Barefoot Executive, chimp.
Cheetah the chimp in the several Tarzan movies.
Jack the capuchin in Pirates of the Caribbean.
Crystal the capuchin in Hangover Pt. 2.

Jay and Silent Bob had a primate. Don't remember how prominent it was.
Did that 'Ed' movie with Matt LeBlanc use a real ape?

2001: A Space Odessy. (Yeah, I know, but the Academy thought they were real, should count for something.)

There a sequence in Being John Malkovich that features some monkeys.

Shakma (1990) A murderous Baboon.

Sands of the Kalahari (1965) Had groups of baboons attacking the people.

Primal Rage (1988) Sounds like 28 days later, perhaps only uses them as a start.

A possible from IMDB: A Cold Night's Death (1973)
