PLANET OF THE APES (Movie Series)

The Planet of the Apes (Movies)-
Were very scary when I first saw them as a child, but now some 30 years later they are the funniest thing I'd ever seen!
These movies are part of the genre of the early 1970's sci fi flicks, where they tell the same apocalyptic theme like "Soylent Green". "Omegaman" and "Logan's run". Where men are evil and they are the cause of their own destruction. Like many sequels the "Planet of the apes" sequels get to be more silly than the first.
I am not sure the history behind Charlton Heston's commitment to do sci fi and disaster movies at the autumn of his movie careet, but I'm glad he did because he has such a painful look on his face every time he screamed.
Obviously the make up of these movies are perfect and the concept of talking apes and them taking over our planet in the future is a lot of fun. The fun part of these movies is that you cannot pick out the villains, is it the man? of the apes?
Man destroying their own planet with pollution, anger, addiction, hatred and prejudice, OR is it the ape learning the evils of mankind and decide to take their own planet back?
Anyway the performances are great in these movies and that wonder love scene with Charlton Heston and the ape woman Dr. Zarah is precious! It's about as sexy as the love scene with Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn in "On golden pond".
