Alan Rickman

[GoodnightGrandma]

Every time I am reminded that this man is dead it is sad.
I thought he was fantastic in S&S, although can’t say the same for Hugh Grant 😲
And he was hilarious in Robin Hood.
A great actor, sadly missed.

I sat on a bench in Hyde Park the other day with an Alan Rickman quote inscribed on it. It reminded me what a sad loss it is.

I loved him too!

Right from Robin Hood when I was about 15, through Colonel Brandon to present day, he seemed genuinely lovely and others have said whilst not conventionally good looking, his wit and intelligence shone through.

Young Alan Rickman..........ahhhhh

I saw him in Les Liaisons Dangereuses at the Barbican, which was pretty amazing. And in a few other theatre things as well. Such a loss.

His diaries are being published next year, aren't they?

Alan in Die Hard for me, utterly nails it in that film adore that role for over 30 years.

Like a previous poster, I first saw him in the theatre, in Les Liaisons Dangereuses. A great actor. I always found him sexy too. It's nice to know that no one who knew or worked with him seems to have a bad word to say about him.

I vaguely remembered Stephen Fry saying something about Alan Rickman's voice and a drainpipe, so I googled it and found this article m.goliath.com/movies/10-things-you-probably-didnt-know-about-alan-rickman/

Apparently his voice has been analysed and he had the perfect voice. As if we didn't know that! I loved him in Robin Hood, and Dogma just sealed my crush on him.

Oh Bunny, thank you for the video! It's given me quite a tingle. What a gorgeous, talented, generous-hearted, heavenly man.

My husband has gone on about truly madly deeply for years I’ve never found it anywhere to watch it

Christ he was sexy

@DameAlyson
Yes, Slope was my first ‘encounter’ with Alan Rickman: an absolutely amazing performance.
Saw him on stage and screen many a time, but have to say that ‘Galaxy Quest’ was sooo fabulous -still makes me laugh, and cry. I recommend watching that!
Truly, Madly, Deeply is so moving -you need a box if tissues by your side.

So strange that you have posted that. I've been off with Covid this week and have been rewatching some old favourites. I cried my eyes out, not ten minutes into S and S, just because he is gone. And the World is such a sad place... It almost feels like he belonged in a different era. I've just finished Truly, Madly Deeply and I still feel that sense of loss.

ALAN

He was brilliant, sadly missed

@scorpio32

Loved him in Dogma but my favourite Alan Rickman film is Galaxy Quest

He wasn't afraid to send himself up

Loved him, and he seems to have been genuinely liked in the industry.

I have to admit to secretly being bored by Truly, Madly, Deeply though - too much crying. I realise this makes me a shallow and terrible person 😀

Recently watched Blowdry and he's lovely in that too. It's very much a northern comedy with the most amazing cast.

@CheerfulBunny

Sharleen Spiteri looks also completely gorgeous on a garage forecourt here, to be fair

I watch this every time he comes up on a thread. God he was sexy.

He had sex appeal. You can't put your finger on it. It's a mixture of his expressions, voice etc.
