I watch a lot of low-budget (and some no budget) films, and I'm mildly fixated on the rooms they use. I particularly like it if some effort (but no expense) has been taken to 'dress' the set. Here's an example, from a 1976 movie A.P.E. It's about a massive ape that goes on the rampage, kidnapping a blonde American actress on route. Totally original story. Very shortly, the big gorilla will look through this window, and we can only speculate as to his thoughts on this particular low budget interior.
The best part of the film comes when the cut rate Kong destroys a helicopter that has been shooting at him. His reaction is something you may be familiar with from that famous mountain gorilla documentary with David Attenborough.
It's gold standard stuff.
