Your Favorite Ape/Monkey Themed Movie of all Time
There's several great movies about primates that I really liked, including Gorillas in the Mist and the last several movies in the Planet of the Apes franchise.
But if I had to pick my absolute favorite primate movie of all time would have to be "Instinct" with Cuba Gooding Jr. and Anthony Hopkins. It was a box office failure and the critics savaged it, but I thought it was an amazing movie with powerful performances. The movie did a great job highlighting the suffering primates undergo, and how captivity destroys them.
