RIP Donald Sutherland


Recommended Posts

One of his more underrated roles was JFK. Oliver Stone was lucky if he got 30% of the movie factually accurate, and Sutherland was only in once scene for about 10 minutes or so, but in that short time he was brilliant.

He was in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Shout out to hot Kristy Swanson. tumblr_oxfliy5t8G1qf3bujo4_250.gifv(1).gif.4bba2394be0879ec53b3dcd914aab8d2.gif

 

I need to see the movie. It was just within the past few years that I finally watched the tv show and it far exceeded my expectations.

Don’t forget his role in A Time to Kill.

He was great as a bad guy in The Eagle Has Landed. He was also great in Klute, as was his often braless co-star Jane Fonda…she won an Oscar for her role. 

Don’t ruin his eulogy by bringing up that cunt.

 

RIP to one of all time favorites.

Man, this one stings. As many of you might remember, my avatar forever on this board and the two before was a profile shot of him from MASH, one of my all-time favorite movies.

RIP, Hawkeye. Give Hot Lips a kiss for me.

The TV show is good, Joss Whedon nailed that series.

Rutger Hauer is also good in this as was Pee Wee.

I always enjoyed his more villainous roles like Outbreak, Disclosure, and Hunger Games. Snow was a really good villain and it was awesome for him to have a hit like that in his later years. He also was great in cameo roles like the pyromaniac in Backdraft and Mr X in JFK.

Saw Backdraft mentioned above.  Haven't seen it listed in the various obit articles, but agree he was great as the pyro.

DeNiro and him sparring. Doesn’t get much better.

Then William Baldwin just wasting everyone’s time.

There is a 90's film called "The Assignment" with himself, Ben Kingsley and Aiden Quinn that was really good (at least in my opinion) and never got any due at all.  It's a fictionalized story of catching Carlos the Jackal.  Sutherland is great in it, but he was in just about anything.
