As mentioned above, it is important to separate vertigo (acrophobia) from dizziness. Vertigo is basically psychological -- it is entangled with fears about impulses towards death, and so on.

I advise anyone with that kind of Vertigo to avoid King Kong -- the last 15 minutes will terrify you -- the Empire State building scenes are unbelievably real and deliberately designed to push the fear of heights to the limit.   As someone who suffers from acrophobia, I nearly had a heart attack.

A wonderful film though.
