                      His best role in his career was probably in the movie Charly. Though that Twilight Zone episode with the Dummy scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. RIP Cliff.

                        Cliff was also in a good 70's sci-fi movie called Brainstorm

                            Charly was obviously Robertson's best role and performance ever (won the Best Actor Oscar)...it's a drama...but I kinda see it as a semi sci-fi movie as well...it's a great movie...I highly recommend it.

                            He was also obviously good in many other roles...and yes...even though his Uncle Ben role was rather small...he made a lasting impression...and gave that first Spider-Man movie some heart...

                            RIP

                              One of my favorite Cliff flicks is a 1976 movie titled "Shoot". The movie is a bit slow, but it has a killer ending.
