1-His best film was ten years ago.
(Meaning: His best film came out ten years ago.)

(Meaning: His best film, "Navi's Incredible Adventures", came out ten years ago.)
3-His best performance was ten years ago with "Navi's Incredible Adventures".

The sentences are formally correct, but in each case the alternatives, the "meanings", are preferable. If you can replace "to be" with a more precise verb, do it! :-)
