Charlton Heston, 1923-2008

I remember talking to Charlton Heston on a radio call in show when I was about 9 years old. I guess he was pitching his movie Earthquake or something. I had watch all the "Planet of the Apes" movie and "The Omega Man". I asked him why he had to die in all of his movie. What can I say, it bugs me when my childhood hero buys the farm all the time. He was 85, not a bad run.

Here's the list of must see movie with Charlton Heston.

The Ten Commandments (1956)
Ben Hur (1959)
El Cid (1961)
Planet of the Apes (1968)
Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970)
The Omega Man (1971)
Midway (1976)
Almost an Angel (1990)
True Lies (1994)

Some of these films he has just a bit part but I love the lines he has in them.
