I didn't think Charlton Heston was that bad as Long John Silver - nearer to what Stevenson had in mind I think. Pleasant looking, but evil - whereas Robert Newton played him as a grotesque. Orson Welles I thought his heart wasn't really in it.

How about Julian Clary in the Joe Pesci role in Goodfellas, or as lee Marvin in Point Blank?
