I have Ben Hur ....Planet of the Apes ...and The Omega Man in my collection but I would have to say ....."Soylent Green" ...it's a classic .....Edward G Robinson has a death scene in it ....and Carlton Heston is not faking that tear in his eye ...he knew Edward was dying ...he died a few weeks after the film was completed ....classic line "Soylent green is people!"

The Ten Commandments has to be my favorite. ABC used to show it every Easter but no more.  |

Sorry the poll changes every day -- the day I posted it was fav Heston movie. I think Ben Hur was first, then Apes, then Commandments. |

They are ALL great. What made them good is the man, the actor himself. Top notch guy. |
