PLANET OF THE APES (1968)
[/tps_title]
Charleton Heston bares it all in so many ways, and only a rubber mask and an apesuit can make Roddy McDowell’s acting seem subdued. A definitive work of science fiction film at its best, brought down a few notches by the self-importance of Rod Serling’s script — a perfect episode of The Twilight Zone. Roddy McDowell special mention award. Charleton Heston award for the presence of the incomparably self-important Charleton Heston.
Planet of the Apes – The Legacy Collection
Thats a great selection and the inclusion of Airport 75 is genius.
Guess you don’t watch a lot of foreign cinema 😉 I can name a number of bonkytits pictures that leave most of these in the dust. Week End (1967), Fitzcarraldo (1982), Diabel (1974), The Laughing Woman (1969), Last Year at Marienbad (1961), anything by Lars von Trier… And how come Zabriskie Point (1970) didn’t make this list? Classic.
You forgot the award in Magnolia: The Tom Cruise Award for the presence of the incomparably self-important Tom Cruise. I know… it’s so obvious it’s redundant…
