2. King Kong

Surprisingly not the oldest film to feature on this list, the original King Kong film (the less said about Peter Jackson's bloated version, the better) is a landmark in cinematic history.

It's old, sure, but this image is still as striking as ever. It perfectly captures the scale of Kong's size within mankind's domain and purposely draws eyes to his presence through the positioning of the aircraft about to riddle him with hot lead.
