1. Kong Skull Island (2017)

About the Movie -

The first one on the list would be Jordan Vogt-Robert’s Kong Skull Island. A great action-packed thriller movie of a giant on a remote island with action-packed Hollywood star Tom Hiddleston. A great one time watch movie being entertaining and action-filled that revolves around the military and the Kong giant.

For me, the movie teaches a lot about how to love animals. In addition to this, one of my favorite scenes in this movie would be the ending scene when the actress is able to control every action of a gigantic monster.

This clearly depicts the fact that animals even if they are enormous have a huge amount of feelings and emotions inside them. This clearly states if humans are kind enough towards animals, they will showcase their complete emotions and feelings in the kindest way possible.
