John Hurt

[TwickenhamCyclist]

Sad to hear of his passing - a great actor - what were your favourite John Hurt films?

 

[Tin Pot]

Alien.

End thread.
Is he really dead?

 

[Tin Pot]

1984

 

[Tin Pot]

War Doctor

 

[Tin Pot]

He leant a certain and necessary element as Control in Tinker Tsilor.

I'm a fan of Snowpiercer too

I think General Woundwort will stay with me to my grave.

He's like Oldman, if he's in the cast, it's a better tale.

The spaghetti scene in the first Aliens is a hard act to follow.

Midnight Express.

Sad news. RIP

 

[Shut Up Legs]

His catalogue of films is amazing: I just checked, and the list is very, very long! There's even 3 films he appeared in still scheduled to be released.

Can't get past The Elephant Man for me.

RIP

 

[Drago]

Been ill for a while apparently, but carried on working. RIP.

The sort of actor that made films believable

The problem for me is that he was such a diverse actor who had such a wide variety of roles.

Even when it was only his voice it was unmistakeable and a fine piece of work

I simply would not want to select a "best" as it would only diminish another fine piece of work

He will certainly be missed
