Planet of the Apes
Dudes and babes, if you have not seen the original Planet of the Apes do yourselves a goddamn favour and buy this spectacular film at your nearest DVD emporium or Ape-themed mega mart. This radical movie makes my list for a few pretty boss reasons - most of which have to do with Charlton Heston being a frigging cool guy. Don't let his recent douchebaggery fool you, when he was a younger man, Heston was THE guy. Forget about all the wiener actors we have today, Heston was in frigging Ben Hur, Omega Man - the guy was MOSES!? This guy was a man's man of an actor who didn't take any kind of shit - especially from no damn dirty apes.
On the subject of damn dirty apes, the villain in this movie (Dr. Zaius) is such a dickhead that he single handedly made me hate orangutans. That's right, the loveable tree swinging little buddies all you bleeding heart ape-lovers who haven't experienced the pure balls out evil of Dr. Manny Zaius (I may have just made up his first name) know and love. I'm not particularly proud of that hatred, but I'll freely admit that it took many years and the charming acrobatics of a certain King Louie to tame my ape-based orangutan prejudice.
Memorable Quote(s): Heston - "You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!"
Reason to watch it: As if Charlton Heston pounding his fist into the sand screaming "God Damn you all to hell!" isn't enough reason to watch it, yeah right!
