it’s going to be a toss-up between King Kong and Godzilla. Godzilla might be the King of the Monsters, and have more movies to his name, but King Kong does have "King" right there in his name ...

King Kong movies have some great human characters sprinkled ... including the first 1933 movie, the 2005 Peter Jackson remake, and even a seldom-known 1998 cartoon musical, The Mighty Kong.
