Hope he has a good defense attorney like he was for Albert Brooks in Defending Your Life.
Hey Zachary T……awesome way to connect Rip’s passing and one of my favorite Rip movies. Good feedback. RIP Rip Torn.
RIP Rip.
Sad news, good actor, always worth watching. I think the first time I noticed him was in King of Kings, when he played Judas. Back in the 80s he played the main villain in The Beastmaster, a film I watched a bunch of times on video tape.
Looking at the chart I’ve seen 15 of the 63 films listed, less than I thought. Favorites include – Extreme Prejudice, City Heat, Men in Black, Hercules, Beastmaster, Dodgeball, Cincinatti Kid (or is it Cincinnati? can never remember) and King of Kings.
I want to see Defending Your Life, it has been mentioned a bit on my forum.
Btw Bruce you have Sweet Bird of Youth listed as ‘Sweet Bird of Success’, somewhere on the page, I’m not saying where. I just hope you haven’t written ‘Sweet Smell of Youth’ on your Burt Lancaster page. [Bruce quickly checks] 😉
A nice tribute. Vote Up!
Hey Steve…..thanks for the thoughts on Mr. Torn. Rest in Peace. I have not seen Beastmaster in years…..but I saw that one I lot when I was a teenager. I thought Marc Singer was going to be a big star. I remember his Judas very well…I actually just saw that movie from start to finish only a few months ago. Tally counts: I have seen 33 of his movies, you are at 15, Bob has seen 11 and Flora has seen 9.
I have seen all of your favorites. I like City Heat…..I find Burt and Clint go together….but many do not like that movie at. I fixed my photo….I can blame Sam….she actually put this page together for me….she did great. I would recommend Defending Your Life….a funny take on what happens when you reach the afterlife. Got a good cast…Albert Brooks, Lee Grant, Torn and Meryl Streep. Hope you are enjoying your break. Good stuff!
