Well, it's better than I thought it would be when I saw today's title. I'm embarassed about how many of these movies I haven't seen, but just know people who were in the cast, so I'll take a shot.

My personal fave was Charlton Heston in The President's Lady. Or for fiction, Donald Pleasence in Escape from New York. Not that you asked.
