He parted the Red Sea as Moses, he was the Omega Man (the original screen adaptation of I Am Legend - I think he overacted a bit and it was kind of campy, but I still liked it). But, his most awesome, kicking, rocking, spectacular movie of all time is Planet of the Apes. I bet he is rolling his eyes right now at the mere mention of that.
I remember watching that movie with my dad when I was little. Anytime it has come on television since that point, I have almost always opted to watch it. I just love the ending . . . even though it's no longer a surprise. "Damn you! Damn you all to Hell!"
Here's to you Bright Eyes!
By the way . . . I thought this article about Mr. Heston was kind of cute. Enjoy.
