Or primate movies, whatever.

1. Monkey Trouble

This movie made us want a little secret monkey best friend who could rock a backwards cap. Because what's the point of even having a monkey if it can't look like a little bad ass?

2. Dunston Checks In

As if living in a hotel wasn't cool enough, this kid gets to live in a hotel WITH an orangutan who smokes AND wears clothes. Didn't we all wish for best friends like that?!

3. George of the Jungle

6. Mighty Joe Young

Plot: Charlize Theron and a gorilla are bffs in LA. Why was this never made into a reality show?

7. Mom, Can I Keep Her?

Another movie that made us want monkeys/gorillas as pets instead of dogs. Note the banana peel on the shoulder equals HIJINKS!

8. Buddy
