Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 13, 2022 Author Paid Members Share Posted May 13, 2022 Superb old character actor. Tremors the obvious standout (Tremors 2 was good as well) but Southern Comfort, Miami Blues, Remo: Unarmed and Dangerous, Short Cuts, Escape from Alcatraz and more. He graced a load of good to great films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members LaGoosh Posted May 13, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted May 13, 2022 I always had a fantasy that if I won the Euromillions I would use the money to make a badass retro movie filled with classic character actors. Fred Ward was on my dream cast list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members Carbomb Posted May 19, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2022 Goddammit. El Greco is one of the most beautiful albums I've ever heard. RIP Vangelis. Think it was @Chris B who told me: one of the most intriguing bits of trivia I learned recently was that he was, in his early career, in a prog rock band with Demis Roussos called Aphrodite's Child.

Paid Members Hannibal Scorch Posted May 19, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2022 Vangelis. One of the most brilliant of modern composers. Chariots of Fire is such an outstanding piece of music. Also a fantastic guest on Shooting Stars. Personally, his work on Blade Runner is my favourite. That score is superb.

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted May 19, 2022 Paid Members Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) Oh my God. Seek out Chariots of Fire, Blade Runner, his duets with Jon Anderson "The Friends of Mr. Cairo". His soundtrack to the film "Missing" is a tad underrated. Check out "Conquest of Paradise" too. What a man. Sadly missed. Heres his Chariots of fire music video. Get a ciggie out whilst playing..

Glenryck Pilchards Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 Grandmaster Gareth from Misty's Big Adventure has taken his own life. I am gutted about this, I was a fan of the band when I was at university having discovered them thanks to my flatmate. I never got round to seeing them live but I loved their surrealism and absurdity they posted on social media. I will be listening to the back catalogue tomorrow at work.   https://www.facebook.com/mistysbigadventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never topped Goodfellas, but I loved him in Cop Land and, erm Bee Movie.

Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 Gutted by that one. There was a period of between 13 and 15 years old that I had a very rough time and I'd watch Goodfellas every single day after school, as it became my comfort film. Amongst such heavyweights as Pesci and De Niro, Liotta more than holds his own, plays it very understated and delivers a brilliant performance. What a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
