Ranking Of The Planet Of The Apes

Ah, the final touches on the Planet Of The Apes franchise retrospective.  This is and has always been one of my favorite franchises.  While it predates me by 13 years, we've been together a long time.  And its really exciting to see this new life and rebirth with a prestigious new franchise that is also pretty popular.  There's so much to get from these films old and new (well, maybe not one of them, but its batting a higher average).  If you're a person that just has a hard time with older films, I feel bad for you because there's some really rich stuff here you're missing out on.  I find something great about almost each one of these (sans 1) that I may have never picked up on before with each new viewing.
