Little Nemo McFly Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 Oh, man! For me, he'll always be remembered for playing the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Dr. Lazarus in Galaxy Quest and Severus Snape in Harry Potter. RIP, good sir. You were fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Nemo McFly Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 LOL! - just marvelous! Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is one of my most favoritest movies of all time. Those zonky, odd fish-eye close-ups...akin to the cinematography that Barry Sonnenfeld utilizes - always struck a cord w/ me...even way back when (Addams Family). Major influence. I love it. The way it was shot, the performances, the humor, the locales, props...music. RH: POT is such a 90s gem. Remember the POV arrow shot in the trailer? Big deal, back then! LOL - oh, man. Yeah, my introduction to Rickman was through Robin Hood - didn't catch Die Hard until much later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Hakujin Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 You know, that's a good question--I can't really remember which I saw first as a kid, Die Hard or Robin Hood,Prince of Thieves. I do know this though, RHPoT was my fucking jam! I loved that movie so much. I was a big Robin Hood fan as a kid in general (Errol Flynn and Disney versions), so when that film came out with its humor and anachronistic, semi-historical slant on the story, I ate it up. Rickman was such a great Nottingham. His most iconic roles definitely go Nottingham, Gruber, & Snape in order for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
