Charlton Heston, one of my favorite actors, passed away over the weekend at age 84.Heston made more than 100 movies during nearly five decades in Hollywood. I've seen at least two-thirds of his films. I've watched some ("The Ten Commandments," "Planet of the Apes") at least 20 times each.
He was so good in so many films and so many genres for so long that it's hard to pick my favorite Charlton Heston films. So here is my list of 10 favorite Heston films by decade.

Ben-Hur; The Ten Commandments; Julius Caesar; The Greatest Show on Earth; Arrowhead; The Naked Jungle; Secret of the Incas; The President's Lady; The Buccaneer; The Private War of Major Benson
