I strongly suggest the Planet of the Apes movies, especially the original, Escape from the Planet of the Apes (despite the incredibly upsetting ending), Battle for the Planet of the Apes and Rise of the Planet of the Apes.
Such great films and charming characters.
Also a 'making of' type documentary called Behind the Planet of the Apes, which describes the legacy of the films. It's very interesting and has plenty of wee widdle factoids. It's presented by Roddy McDowell (who played Cornelius and his son Ceasar in the films) and I have a man-crush on his voice.

As a little kid, I was a Planet Of The Apes fanatic. It probably had something to do with an Aspie-ish obsession on my part. I especially liked the human-hating Ape commanders, like Ursus in Beneath The Planet Of The Apes, and Urko from the short lived TV show. Something about the headgear and armor, I guess.
Funny that the gorillas were portrayed as the warlike apes, while the chimps were the peaceful homebodies, while in fact just the opposite is true in nature.

That's a great movie, I love everything Sellers did (except, perhaps, The Party) but that one I especially liked |

My wife and I, and a friend had caught Prometheus this afternoon for our 11th wedding anniversary. Great flick.
Last night, my wife and I had watched a mockumentary called CSA: The Confederate States Of America, concerning if the south had won the Civil War. Both funny and infuriating about the idiocy of racism and intolerance, in an alternate history.
Skeleton Key was also a great horror film my wife and I caught Friday night.

Takashi Miike's 13 Assassins.
It is tame by Miike standards, but it is still quite awesome. I watched it on Netflix streaming just last week, and I was amazed. |

| Don't know if it's been mentioned, but there's one on netflix right now called "The Music Never Stopped" that is based on a story by Oliver Sacks about a guy who had a brain tumor and could no longer form new memories... but hearing music from his teenage years (the late sixties) made him able to remember things from back then and talk about them with his family. One band in particular, who did the song the movie is named for. I haven't quite finished watching it yet, but it's also a good story about parents and children re-connecting. |

We just got finished watching John Carter. A pretty decent movie I wish my Dad, who was a great Edgar Rice Burroughs fan, could have lived to see it.

A Nightmare On Elm Street
In my opinion, the best horror movie ever.
But whatever you do, don't watch the remake. You will put your palm through your face. |
