Favourite Napoleon Portrayal

[Arthwys]

There have been a number of specials, movies and documentaries about Napoleon through the years and I was Wondering who your favourite portrayal of Napoleon was done by? can be serious or not, totally your choice.

My Favourite portrayal of Napoleon was by Ian Holm from the movie Time Bandits, as he was funny as Hades.

Curiously enough I also saw him play Napoleon in a Series ( BBC? don't remember) called Napoleon and Josephine...

what do you folks think?

It has to be Albert Dieudonne for his portrayal of young Napoleon in the 1927 silent epic; NAPOLEON

I always liked Rod Steiger as the "older" N at Waterloo.

Steiger is my favorite too.
He wasn't perfect, but he had some great moments in that movie.

Yes, I saw the Rod Stieger portrayal and that was good. How about Armand Assante?
