It is very difficult to peel an unripe banana, and those that are too green can cause upset stomach. Thus simians tend to pick ripe bananas to eat, which are easily peeled by bending the stem up and backwards from the fruit and removing the entire strip. It is then easy to flip the entire fruit out of the remaining skin, like you've seen in the movies.

They do not peel them like we humans do because they don't care about getting a bit of sticky mess on their hands. Further, they cannot turn their hands very much from a palms-down facing position. The bone structure of their foreamrs is different than humans, and is occasionally cited as the reason we developed higher intelligence than our early ancestors because we could turn objects over to inspect them.
