Hmm. What a surprise. Heston directed himself in a TV movie of 'A Man for All Seasons?' Didn't see it. There's no reason to see it.

The theatrical film is a marvel, and Paul Scofield's performance as Moore is one of the finest performances ever captured on film.

Not necissarily in any order, but these roles were some of his best...

Touch of Evil!!!
Ben-Hur
Soylent Green
Wayne's World 2

Of late, his perf in Bowling for Columbine was very interesting...

I knew someone would mention his miscast performance in Touch of Evil.

Chalk up a vote for Moses.

Heh. That's funny, because I don't think he's miscast at all, but c'est la vie.

Chalk one up for Orson Welles...

Omega Man. Hammy, but in an amusing Ash-like way.

Z-Man

Not one of his most famous roles, but The Naked Jungle, where he battles an army of ants. It's just the quintessential Heston role, this Ayn Rand-y self-made man's man. Plus, he battles an army of ants. Regular sized ants, at that.

I'm not a big fan. I like the Planet of the Apes movies. I haven't seen Soylent Green. The best movie Heston is in (other than Bowling for Columbine, which shouldn't count) is Touch of Evil. He gives a good performance in the movie as well. A lot of people think he was miscast, as do I. I would never have expected him to pull it off, but he did.
