Don't forget these four.

TRADING PLACES, the Dan Ackroyd/Eddie Murphy movie in which a man in a
very, very good gorilla suit and a man in a very, very bad gorilla suit
are crucial to the resolution of Act 4; features lots of hot,
man-in-gorilla-suit-playing-amorous-gorilla on
man-in-gorilla-suit-playing-panicky-man-in-gorilla-suit action.

THE PINK PANTHER, which features burglars in gorilla suits -- one played
by Robert Wagner -- zipping around the narrow streets of the Paris suburbs
in tiny little convertibles, hopelessly lost, making their getaway. Bonus
points for use of the classic Town Drunk Who Calmly Concludes That He's
Just Hallucinating All Of This.

AFRICA SCREAMS, the best Abbott and Costello movie, judged through the
prism of Bad Gorilla Suit scenes;

BELA LUGOSI MEETS A BROOKLYN GORILLA, and if the presence of a junkie-era
Bela Lugosi isn't enough of a tip-off about the level of the production,
it also stars Sammy Petrillo, known to history "The Jerry Lewis you hired
if you couldn't afford to hire Jerry Lewis."
