No, but a fine guess.

 

The mimicry doesn't involve deception in that way, it's more a synonym in the standard cryptic fashion.

Almost Human

Now I begin to see the difficulty of crossword compilation, I don't know how anyone can consider all the possibilities that might also be quite close. I might have guessed this too, had I ever watched it.

 

The trouble I have with quotes and other straightforward relevant information is that so much of it is just cut and paste to google and the chances are your answer is in the first half dozen hits. Or if not you can follow a trail.

 

Thus my amateur attempts at cryptic clues both here and in the music equivalent.

 

In any event, this time toast got what I had initially intended, so I suppose I can't have missed entirely.

These animals won't go thirsty.

 

ETA perhaps I should clarify that this a clue, not a quote!  I agree that quotes don't really work as a puzzle, as either you know them or you don't, in which case they are easily looked up.

<pedantry>

Needs to be said -  neither the planet nor the apes were extraterrestrial.

Ah, might have helped had I ever seen it all the way through, rather than in the background some place years ago. My error.

 

It's stretching my brain to think of questions that can't be googled, now you want accuracy as well? Ptui.

To be fair, I'm clutching at straws, I don't think I've manged to work out any of these films so far.

Don't be so hard on yourself you nailed rain - status quo almost instantly in the music one.

 

ETA Nailing rain is quite a feat in itself.....

I need coffee I think.

Think my latest clue has got lost in the discussion there.

Oh it didn't get lost by me, just that I don't really have much of a clue.

Watership Down? Though aside from being about animals and having water in the title....

Excellent answer, but not the one I had in mind.  Film is from the 90s.

Reservoir Dogs

 

Re the Extraterrestrial Mimics clue I'm perfectly happy with Planet of the Apes as an answer - but it is 'apes' as 'copies' not the animals.
