I may not have liked some of Charlton Heston’s crazy politics, but man did I love a few of his movies.  To this day, his two great Biblical epics, The Ten Commandments and Ben-Hur, are some of my favorite movies of all time.  Considering when it was made, the chariot race in Ben-Hur is still a spectable to watch. As a sci fi buff I loved him in Planet of the Apes and Soylent Green.  Charlton Heston may not have been the greatest actor of his generation, but he still appeared in some of the best motion pictures Hollywood ever produced.

Heston passed away today at the age of 83.  Hollywood has lost one of its greats.
