DVD - Planet of the Apes: 40 Year Evolution Collection [Blu-ray]
The compelling and classic 1968 Planet of the Apes stars Oscar-winner Charlton Heston (Ben-Hur, 1960) as an astronaut who crash lands on a planet ruled by apes who use a primitive race of humans for experimentation and sport.
Beneath The Planet of the Apes tells the story of a daring rescue mission that leads to a subterranean city where mutant humans worship a weapon capable of destroying the entire planet.
In Escape from the Planet of the Apes, two futuristic simians who have traveled to present-day Earth enjoy celebrity status—until a government plot forces them to run for their lives!
In Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, apes have been domesticated and trained as pets and personal servants - until their continual mistreatment leads to a spectacular revolt.
In the final Apes chapter, Battle for the Planet of the Apes, an idyllic society of man and ape is threatened by both a militant gorilla and a tribe of still-intelligent mutant humans. In the end it becomes apparent that this Planet of the Apes is actually Earth in the future.

I'll never forget as a kid watching CH collapse to his knees as he comes upon the Statue of Liberty. Classic!

That is a classic set of old movies. Must add to the 2001/2010 Space Odesy movies.
My dad still has his album (yes a vinyl long play spinning round disk) set of Orsen Wells - War of the Worlds broadcast.
That is something I have listened to several times. Just to think of what it like in the day, with out TV, cell phones, internet or any real means to verify if what you were listening to was real.
You just trusted what was heard on the radio in those days. I cause quite a panic in the east coast that night.
Happy Holloween to all.
