Everybody loves monkeys. Hollywood knows this. Put a monkey in your movie and you're guaranteed some degree of success, be it in the form of an instant smash hit, or a cult following that develops over time. Monkeys equal comedy gold!
猴子人見(jiàn)人愛(ài)，好萊塢深諳個(gè)中之道。讓猴子在電影里亮個(gè)相，保不齊會(huì)立刻賺得缽滿(mǎn)盆滿(mǎn)，或者隨著時(shí)間的推移成為經(jīng)典佳片。猴子可謂一張喜劇王牌！

According to the Chinese calendar, 2016 is the year of the Monkey. We thought we'd compile a list of the greatest monkey movies ever. And before any of you hard-nosed primatologoly majors out there send us hate mail, please understand that we're using the term monkey informally, referring to all non-human simians. That includes monkeys, as well as apes like the gorilla, chimpanzee and orangutan. Now, with that technicality out of the way, here's our list of Top 10 Monkey Movies.
既然今年是農(nóng)歷猴年，我們便為大家準(zhǔn)備了一場(chǎng)電影盛宴，每部片中均有猴子的身影。筆者在此事先聲明，本文所說(shuō)的“猴子”泛指一切人類(lèi)以外的類(lèi)人猿，包括大猩猩、黑猩猩、褐猿等各類(lèi)猿猴，所以請(qǐng)愛(ài)咬文嚼字的動(dòng)物學(xué)究們就不要來(lái)信拍我們了。好了，掃清了學(xué)術(shù)上的障礙之后，接下來(lái)咱們就來(lái)看“與猴相關(guān)的十大佳片”。

10. Project X
《X計(jì)劃》

If the monkey section of your DVD library doesn't include Matthew Broderick's 1987 film, Project X, then you're missing one of the essential films in the primate genre. Broderick had made a name for himself a few years earlier playing "global thermonuclear war" in WarGames, but this film from The Accused director Jonathan Kaplan sees him trade Ally Sheedy and "Joshua" in for Helen Hunt and a chimpanzee named Virgil. He plays Jimmy, an Air Force soldier who learns of an experimental military project involving chimpanzees trained to operate flight simulators. The chimp at the center of the film, Virgil, is sent to the program after the research grant of his hottie caretaker (Hunt) is not renewed. Unfortunately, the project, which involves exposure to massive pulses of radiation, has a nasty side effect for the primate participants: death. Can Jimmy save the chimp and bag the broad? We don't wanna ruin it... but yes.
這部1987年的電影由馬修·布羅德里克擔(dān)綱主演，是“猴子電影”的經(jīng)典之作。此前，布羅德里克出演《戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)游戲》，過(guò)了把玩“全球熱核戰(zhàn)”的癮，名聲大噪。本片由執(zhí)導(dǎo)過(guò)《暴劫梨花》的喬納森·卡普蘭執(zhí)導(dǎo)。與布羅德里克對(duì)戲的不是艾麗·西蒂，也不是詹姆斯·阿克曼，而是女星海倫·亨特與一只名叫維吉爾的黑猩猩。布羅德里克飾演主角吉米，是一名空軍戰(zhàn)士，偶然發(fā)現(xiàn)了軍方訓(xùn)練黑猩猩開(kāi)飛機(jī)的實(shí)驗(yàn)項(xiàng)目。亨特飾演的性感馴獸師缺少經(jīng)費(fèi)，不得不將維吉爾送去做實(shí)驗(yàn)。然而，“X計(jì)劃”的輻射太強(qiáng)，不少黑猩猩沒(méi)過(guò)多久便一命嗚呼。吉米能做一回救猩猩的英雄、同時(shí)抱得美人歸嗎？我不該劇透的……是的，他做到了。
