    Wow, you got to this even sooner than I did. Thanks for posting it. Rest in peace Mr Heston.

    "So that this nation may long endure, I urge you to follow in the hallowed footsteps of the great disobedience of history that freed exiles, founded religions, defeated tyrants, and yes, in the hands of an aroused rabble in arms and a few great men,â€-Charlton Heston

    That movie was so far ahead of it's time it isn't even funny. I bawled my eyes out at the end of that. It should be required viewing. I am sorry to hear about his passing.

    Ben Hur is one of my favorite classic moves, I'll watch it again tonight in his memory. May he rest in peace.

    If you don't own it, get the widescreen DVD version. I have it. One of the first I bought when I finally bought a DVD player. It should be against the law to "pan and scan" that film.

    It's too bad he started to lose it the last few years of his life. When I think of him now, I mostly picture a confused old man, instead of the great actor that he was.

    I thought he died a while back. :( May he rest in peace.

    My favorite of his movies is The Ten Commandments.

    I hope they dont take his gun now.

    One of the last things Mr. Heston did, I believe. I think it's worth the download ~ certainly a big cut above a lot of the 'B' movies done during the middle of his life time.

    I don't think he had much choice, responsibility or capability to affect his loss of mental capacity since Alzheimer's is incurable and a equal opportunity disease.

    They’ve closed comments for this story at the Huffington Post, because they’re afraid of their own readers: I would hate to see the same thing done here. :tsk:
