Looking through the film references section of the GR wiki, it looks like the only references to an actual film is, of course, King Kong. And there's a reference to the son ( not capitalized) of Frankenstein. He mentions Cecil B. Demille, the Marx Brothers, and offhandedly, Bela Lugosi. I guess clips of various German expressionist movies from the 20s would best capture the book.
