Edgar Wright Instagram – RIP to the truly great Donald Sutherland, a favourite actor and an always fascinating screen presence. He starred in two of my very favourite and most influential films – ‘Don’t Look Now’ and the 1978 ‘Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers’. But that is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of his legendary filmography. He was a funny, laconic, but also intense and dramatic presence in so many memorable movies, starting with his break-through in ‘The Dirty Dozen’, and then on an incredible run in the 70’s, 80’s and beyond with ‘M*A*S*H’, ‘Kelly’s Heroes’, ‘Little Murders’, ‘Klute’, ‘The Day Of The Locust’, ‘National Lampoon’s Animal House’, ‘Ordinary People’ and ‘JFK’, among many others.
I even adore his very early appearances in ‘Dr Terror’s House Of Horrors’ and ‘The World Ten Times Over’, as well as his very silly cameo in ‘Kentucky Fried Movie’.
I know many of you following me will feel the same way about this great screen legend’s passing, so please list your favourite Donald Sutherland films.
So sorry to see you go Donald, but what a legacy you leave behind. | Posted on 20/Jun/2024 23:26:16
