Charlton Heston gave us many great action movies, often depicted in wargames. My favorites, in this order… Major Dundee Warlord The Buccaneer El Cid 55 Days at Peking Midway Ten Commandments Planet of the Apes Here's a google list: link |

Khartoum, War Lord, and while not war films although there are some combat scenes, e.g. the Siege of La Rochelle, the Three and Four Musketeers! |

While not particularly a fan, I do occasionally enjoy 55 Days, Khartoum, and the Warlord, and without defensible reason, you may detect guilty pleasure, The Naked Jungle. Gaming army ants vs. people, though… My first attempt to use Blu-Ray bookmarks to 'edit' a viewing to excise most of his time in Midway was sadly disappointing. Following with interest the post on the new release of that battle. Doug |

I can't believe I forgot El Cid! Still I don't think it would've cracked my top 4 but still a creditable 5th place. |

Major Dundee Soylent Green El Cid Warlord The Three Musketeers I've never seen any of the "of the Apes" movies or Omega Man, so I can't comment on them. LT |

The Private War of Major Benson is cute, maybe too cute for what most folks think of as a Charlton Heston film. The Big Country is really good, especially as I am also Gregory Peck fan. |
PJ ONeill | 09 Nov 2019 4:32 p.m. PST |
I saw The Ten Commandments on my 10th birthday. The pairing of Heston and Brenner made the best antagonists I have ever seen. |

His best cameo was in "Wayne's World 2"… |
khanscom | 09 Nov 2019 6:34 p.m. PST |
"Soylent Green" and "2 Minute Warning" |

Warlord and Major Dundee my faves but I liked a lot of his work. Charlton himself said Warlord was his own personal favorite film. |
Londonplod | 10 Nov 2019 6:07 a.m. PST |
He is my favourite Long John Silver. El Cid is a classic but l pretty much like all of his films. |
Garryowen | 10 Nov 2019 7:20 a.m. PST |
The Mountain Men with Brian Keith. My favorite movie of all time. Tom |

Khartoum Soylent Green Ben Hur The Musketeers I bet Inwatch my DVD of Khartoum five or so times a year while painting. One of my favorites. |

Peking. That blue shirt with the sand coloured trousers/pants. Still my own favourite look….with US Marine Altama boots…gets the girl (there is now only one) every time… Khartoum second for better acting and he does look so like Gordon. I thought L O'L was dreadful as the Mahdi…. |

And his voice-over narration for Disney's "Hercules" as well as his opening monologue for "Armageddon".and his stuff in "Airport 1975" and "Earthquake",as well as the previously mentioned films. And the ad for Bud Light and his second time hosting SNL,when he falls asleep in the Green room and wakes up to the find the cast and crew are now apes. |

The OP asked for Favorite as in 'singular' so much as I loved many of his movies, I will go with The Warlord. |
