He was truly a legend.

He has so many great movies but I loved him in the Great Escape as well as Jurassic park. The later may not be as accomplished a work to his other credits, but I love family movies like JP and watch them often with the kids.

Great actor. You guys should look up Flight of the Phoenix…

I know that a lot of younger folks don't know he was famous for his work both sides of the camera. As CQ pointed out, movies like A Bridge too Far, one of my favorites was a movie he directed. Won an oscar for Gandhi…

He was also excellent in the movie the Sand Pebbles; another great movie.

Damn shame that actors seem to be picked on brawn and bust lines these days… The greats will never be replaced!

Also 10 Rillington place is a good film, a great talent gone but a good innings nonetheless less

My favorite movie of all time is The Great Escape. Funny thing is the tape I used to have on it ended not long after Steve macqueen jumps the fence (it was damaged). I bought it on DVD this year. OH MY GOD THEY ALL GET SHOT WTF?!?!?!!? Worst ending ever, I want my old tape back where everyone lives happily ever after

RIP Mr Attenborough

I loved his making of "Ghandi". That was truly a work of love

[winelover]

Also loved A Bridge Too Far. Extra authenticity brought about by his wartime participation
