Agreed...but "Jurassic Park" came out 21 years ago! Plenty of time for the chance to see *at least* ONE other movie that Attenborough was involved with (especially for people who call themselves a "cinephile").AndyLGR said:Everyone has to be introcuded to an actor at some point in their career, nothing wrong with that.

Good mentions (although I haven't seen "Danger Within"). He did appear in a lot of WW2 movies but my heart goes out to "Sea of Sand". He was great in that!AndyLGR said:I remember him mostly from featuring in plenty of WWII films, like Danger Within, Dunkirk, great escape...... League of gentleman is another typical British crime film that is a big favourite of mine.
You praise Attenborough so highly but the only movie you mention is "Jurassic Park"? I honestly don't know whether to laugh or cry.TheFedora said:He was indeed a legend, and will forever be missed. There will never be another like him, nor or later. I believe that his legacy will remain forever...and Jurassic Park is my all time favorite film.
Yes! Hammond-Schmammond. The JP chumps should go watch "Brighton Rock", along with "The Angry Silence" & "Guns at Batasi". These are tour-de-forces for Attenborough and (in my opinion) his finest achievements as an actor.Montana Smith said:Farewell, Pinkie Brown.

Actor Richard Kiel, who starred in two James Bond films as the steel-toothed villain Jaws, died today. He was 74.
I bet all the people at the funeral wouldn't be surprised at all if he suddenly just jumped up, dusted himself off and walked out.Goonie said:Darn it. Jaws died.
Now, that's funny!Finn said:I bet all the people at the funeral wouldn't be surprised at all if he suddenly just jumped up, dusted himself off and walked out.
Why were you "shocked"? He wasn't young.jsarino said:Wow, shocked that he passed away. RIP, Jaws.

Heh, be real. Richard Kiel was 3 days away from turning 75 and it's not uncommon for people to die at that age. According to the World Health Organization, the 2014 average life expectancy for men in the U.S. is 77. Since Kiel was American, he was very close to the national average so his death is hardly something to be "shocked" about.jsarino said:He wasn't that old either. After all, Harrison Ford is only a couple of years younger. Heck, Kiel's on-screen foe, Sir Roger Moore is 86!
Donald Sinden was great in Disney's full-blooded adventure flick, "Island at the Top of the World"! Another fine performance of his was in, "Simba", a film about the Mau-Mau uprising in Kenya. Two movies worth watching.AndyLGR said:RIP to an actor with one of the most distinctive voices in the UK. Donald Sinden aged 90:
