Recommended Movie of the Week - Planet of the Apes

It's all monkey business this week with my recommended movie of the week - the 1968 Planet of the Apes. This is actually my favorite all time movie. I love this film. Definitely a true sci-fi classic.

I had such a crush on Nova (Linda Harrison) when I was younger - in fact, I think I still do! I saw her at Wonderfest a couple years back and she still looks terrific!

  2. A great pic. It may be my all-time favorite film as well, definitely in the top ten for sci-fi. Folks tend to forget that this film created the model for sci-fi film franchises and product marketing as well. Not to mention the elements of pop culture that the film provided commentary on, from racism to creation vs. evolution. Great stuff.
