"Planet of the Apes" released 1968




One of the classic sci-fi movies, Planet of the Apes, was released February 8, 1968.  It starred Charleston Heston in his first nude scene and still had only a 'G' rating!  Go figure!

The movie's line "Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape." was voted as the #66 movie quote by the American Film Institute (out of 100).

Ingrid Berman was offered the role of Zira but turned it down.  She regretted her decision when the movie became a success and she would have had a chance to star opposite Charlton Heston.

Here's the 66th most classic movie quote of all time.
