[Market Porter]

This UTTER gash, borderline paedo, that I had to watch a few times to believe...

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I’ll start with Ivanhoe - do any of you bright sparks remember THAT?

Fair play to Roger Moore, only living British actor to be paid tribute to for his acting skills by way of an NSC emoticon

Alfie, Get Carter, Italian Job, very cool

Sleuth . . great film

educating rita and Cider house rules. very god too. All in all a pretty good career.

Nolan has a bit of a thing for him. From memory they've worked together on all 3 Batman movies, The Prestige, Dunkirk and Inception. I'm sure there are others but they spring to mind.

The upcoming Tenet.

There's a bit of a running joke, because (until Dunkirk) his role in Nolan movies seemed to always be taking care of someone's kid - Thomas and Martha Wayne's son, Christian Bale's Daughter, Leo's kids, McConaughey's kids.


I do like some of his less revered roles:

Without a Clue
On Deadly Ground (when I was younger I like Seagal Movies)
Now You See Me
Gnomeo and Juliet

 

[cheshunt seagull]

I met him when I was 7 on the set of the Billion Dollar Brain. Not one of his best but still worth a watch.

 

[Rambo]

Get Carter
Alfie
Italian Job
Ipcress File

In that order

 

[Barrow Boy]

I’ll start with Ivanhoe - do any of you bright sparks remember THAT?

Yup

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

Top actor and one of my favourites.he is equally at home as a leading man or a bit part actor.whatever the role he plays it absolutely spot on.keeps on popping up unexpectedly in modern movies which is a pleasant surprise as be did in Kingsman when I watched it a while back.people will quite properly mention his biggest roles here but I also think he was excellent as Alfred in the batman movies too.

Get Carter is one of my favourite movies and soundtracks.

 

[Jeremiah]

Get Carter is a classic with an appearance by a very young Alun Armstrong of New Tricks fame , who I think also appeared in The Likely Lads as a thug who had a run in with our Terry

Saw Cider House Rules for the first time recently. Even with the great cast in this film he still stole the show. Incredible performance.
