I'm very fond of an episode of The Outer Limits he did, and I'm sorry that I don't remember the name, but he played a mild-mannered scientist who discovers that he has telekenitic powers. Great stuff.
And one of my favorites, though probably not many others, is his performance in Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. I would pay just for those few seconds of "I Want You" that he sings. -

Donald Pleasence is so versatile; one of my all-time favorite actors.
I thought he was excellent as Colin in The Great Escape, and his role in the Twilight Zone episode "Changing of the Guard" was very touching.
He was terrific as a villian/antagonist. I thought he was great in Fantastic Voyage, and in Part Three of Centennial.
Fantastic actor, very much missed. -

Ooh, good choice. He scared the crap out of me in "Wake in Fright" too. I also particularly like his performance as the police inspector in the great little 70s Brit horror movie "Death Line" - otherwise known as "Raw Meat" to the Americans out there. Pleasence added a touch of class to everything he did - which is just as well, given some of the terrible trash he appeared in.

I found his portrayal of Heinrich Himmler in
The 5b4Eagle Has Landed
to be perhaps the most chilling Himmler portrayal ever. Like a pleasant (no pun intended) little administrator, but absolutely cold-blooded at the core.
