Planet of the Apes

Actors:  Charlton Heston, Kim Hunter, Roddy McDowell, Linda Harrison, Maurice Evans
Rating:  7 out of 10, The first and definitely the best of the old Apes movies with the twist ending explaining why everyone, including the apes, spoke English.  It’s interesting to watch now for the sledgehammer type criticism leveled against 1960s society.  Harrison doesn’t say a word but wears the hell out of her buckskin bikini.  Every time you see Heston in a movie, you’re reminded of what screen presence is all about. 
MVP:  Heston as Taylor the preachy, but compelling hero
