1968 Top 10 Highest-Grossing & Award Winning Films

“I enjoyed watching this film and I have seen it several times before. Interesting how the director did not do very much research on space as Charlton Heston was smoking a cigar in the spaceship. Even after they had a water crash landing, he somehow pulled out a cigar and lighter on their trek through the desert. Heston seems like the John Wayne of the late 60s. It is so odd that when Heston was caught and couldn’t speak he didn’t use the universal hand signal for writing and just grabbed at his voice box. The director needed to be more observant. One of the most impactful scenes was the statue of liberty buried in the sand. Glad I got to see it again.”

“I enjoyed watching this film and I have seen it several times before. Each time I glean something new from the personalities. Dustin Hoffman and Ann Bancroft are amazing. Societies constraints are magnified as this film dives into areas that are often not talked about…even today. I will definitely see this again when I need a fix.”
