He was brilliant in Cuk de sac just Amazing wow.

just watched wake in fright on latenight tv and he really stood out in this movie
for all you non australians you should give ths film a go

Two Australian moves were excellent, Wake In Fright and Ground Zero

He was fantastic in the Twilight Zone episode "The Changing of the Guard". His heartbreaking performance as the college professor that thought his many years of teaching was for nothing was one of the best ever. Not much I've seen in movies or television has made me crybut that did.
RIP Mr Pleasence

I watched Wake In Fright last night he was pretty good in that, it's a pretty decent movie too worth a look.

outside of Loomis, id have to say Dr. Leo Bain from "Alone in the Dark"

Or you can just get a torrent from Piratebay & download it? I mean if the studio isn't willing to create available DVD's/Blu Ray's for the general public, then shouldn't we encourage piracy?
If insane outnumbered sane, would sane then be considered insane?

Very few people have had the chance to see "Wake in Fright" so far, unfortunately. It only got a real release in Los Angeles, for instance, last fall. Here's hoping for a future Criterion DVD release!
"The fundamental things apply, as time goes by."

I agree with the above poster. Wake in Fright is far & away his best performance imo. Playing an Australian doctor who became a debauched alcoholic in a small mining town. For a non-Australian, he pulled off the accent & lingo FLAWLESSLY. The film was nominated for best picture at Cannes however it was totally snubbed during the Oscars & Pleasence wasn't even nominated for anything. It's the most underrated performance by any actor in the history of cinema.

"Wake in Frib68ght" aka "Outback" (1971) is a great one.

Columbo: Any Old Port in a Storm. It's one of my favorite episodes of Columbo in general. You really felt like Columbo liked the guy, in spite of the fact that he'd committed murder. The last scene as he's taking Pleasence to jail and gives him a bottle of decent wine to drink as they go in was a great touch.
I love to love my Lisa.

He was very good in the columbo episode Any old port in a storm(one of the best episodes of columbo).Also like someone else said he was good in telefon as well.
The Dude: Jesus.
Jesus Quintana: You said it, man. Nobody beep with the Jesus.

Donald wasalways great value.
Try to check out his Ground Zero - fantastic role from a good Aussie thriller from 1987

I liked him in The Great Escape.
Its that man again!!

Ernst Stavro Blofeld in You Only Live Twice
Heinrich Himmler in The Eagle Has Landed
Jim Underwood in From Beyond the Grave
Mr Pleasence was a great, great actor.
Sh!tkicker from Finland

Donald Pleasence was good in everything!
I don't actually think he was best in 'Halloween' (though, he was great!); I think his best performance was as Blythe in 'The Great b68Escape', and then I'd say either Isaac Q. Cumber in 'Soldier Blue' or maybe Blofeld in 'You Only Live Twice'though that would be forgetting his role in 'Raw Meat/Death Line'.

Donald had a remarkable career with many fantastic performances. Halloween may be best known but earlier roles in Great Escape, You Only Live Twice, Telefon and many more are true testimony to his talent.
One which may have been overlooked was an Australian film called `Ground Zero' where he was quite superb.
Check it out

Donald's best performance was easily in "Pumaman" (or as it's listed on IMDB, "L'uomo puma"). Oscar worthy, a shame it was overlooked.
