One of my favourites was from that same year he did Class of 1984, Evil Under The Sun, he actually made it just before Class.
Other favourites are The Poseidon Adventure, The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean which has an amazing cast and the epic Cleopatra.
Yeah, Evil Under The Sun is a great Agatha Christie adaptation. As for Judge Roy Bean it's one of my favourite movies (not just Westerns but all movies). Ava Gardner is stunning as Lily Langtry.

Evil Under the Sun was great with Diana Rigg and Maggie Smith sparring with each other, i also love the version of Death On The Nile with Bette Davis, Angela Lansbury, Maggie Smith and David Niven.
Roy Bean has an amazing cast, Paul Newman, Jacqui Bisset, Anthony Perkins, Stacey Keach, Ned Beatty, Tab Hunter, Victoria Principal besides Ava.
Ava was a stunning looking woman, even in Earthquake a few years later an older puffier looking Ava you could still see the beauty there.

I think she was at her most beautiful around the time of 55 Days At Peking (another fantastic movie).

Hmmm 55 Days In Peking which she did with Charlton Heston who said something to the effect that he wouldn't work with her again, she does look stunning in it, i do have a copy of it on DVD but its only in a 4.3 ratio so you don't see it in its full cinemascope beauty. Her and Charlton did work together again in Earthquake and he said by the then her temper had banked and they had no problems working together this time. Interesting also a young Victoria Principal who was in Roy Bean also appeared in Earthquake with Ava.
Another movie where Ava looks stunning is Showboat.

Yeah it really is a movie that needs to be seen in it's original ratio. The filmwork of the hordes of Boxers pouring over the walls would be lost in Pan and Scan. The fact she pissed off Heston is definitely a huge plus in my books.

Yes even though there are few movies i like Charlton Heston in he lost me once he became the president of The National Rifle Association.

Yeah, I'll still happily watch his movies (The Omega Man and Soylent Green are a couple of favourites) but he can keep his gun-totin' beliefs to himself.

Yep the Omega Man is great and one of my favourites.
I remember years ago the Ascot cinema was showing Airport 75 and Earthquake as a double so i saw them and later that night The Naked Jungle was on TV so had a Charlton Heston triple play that day.
