Monster: Tyrannosaurus RexMovie: King Kong
Before the T-Rex in Jurassic Park came along, this was my favourite movie Dinosaur. I was always bummed that Kong beat the absolute Christ out him, but was thrilled every time I saw this sequence. The above shot is my favourite kind of shot -- you see something threatening at a distance and there's that moment of uncertainty as to whether or not it's seen you. Wrong Turn (say what you want) and Alien are both great examples of films where this same sort of thing happens, and it always scares the shit out of me for some reason. It's like there's time to get away, but you're not sure what these things are capable of. I dunno, my brain is starting to leak...
