This dude made movies so good.
Tombstone Batman Top gun The saint Prince of Egypt Red planet
Shame his career was cut short. I assume he lost his speech because God needed it after watching Prince of Egypt.
SIR/MADAM! I call foul! Most foul!
Your list is horribly disingenuous, due to the absence of Val Kilmer's greatest movie:
Top Secret
Ah hell no.
Real Genius. That's where it's at
One of my favorites. I own that film. He died way to young.
I watched that one much later in life but it was in fact good.
It is a cinematic triumph. Peter Cushing himself called it his greatest role! Well, he might have said that.
Fun fact that I actually just learned today. The cast made from Mr Cushing's face for his scene in Top Secret was used by the SFX wizards working on Rogue One to digitally recreate the actor for the movie.
Imagine that, a casting for a prosthetic made over 40 years ago was used to recreate the image of Peter Cushing so that he could appear as Grand Moff Tarkin again.
Have to admit, that rather stunned me when I read it.
They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.
In the end it was really creepy to have a dead person have so much screen time in a movie.
I have to agree with you.
Actors that have been "de-aged" or simulated just don't quite cross the uncanny valley for me. I loved Tron Legacy, but the de-aging on Jeff Bridges was just off. So those scenes with CLU and in the past just drew me out of the film.
Wow
The greatest movie ever made in fact ☻ (IMO of course). I just watched it this morning after hearing the news. RIP Nick Rivers
Uhh, Heat???????
One of my favorite movies of all time. The gun battle in the streets is an all-time great scene.
Im going to have to re-watch. I remember being so bored when I was a kid.
It's a long movie, but so so so excellent
