    Ah no :( one of the greats.

    The ending to Don't Look Now is still one of the weirdest things I've ever seen.

    One of the earliest movies I can remember watching, on TV. Long been a favourite of mine. "Eatin cheese an drinking wine, woof woof"

    A man that could nail that interesting guy with a brain in any flick he was in. Loved his moment in JFK.

    RIP

    78 remake of Invasion Of The Bodysnatchers was another iconic role.

    Great actor.

    Eye of The Needle and Don't Look Now are two of my all time favourite films.

    He was brilliant at playing a real sleazebag character, had a great devilish smile.

    I must watch The Eagle Has Landed sometime, I refused to watch it because I loved the book so much and didn't want to ruin my view of it but maybe I need to finally give it a watch now.

    I was a kid when I saw this on TV for the first time. His character pointing and yelling in that weird way scared the hell out of me.

    He was an incredible actor. May he rest in peace.

    The man had many legendary roles, though will never be able to unsee or forget that all-timer final shot in Body Snatchers.

    Came here to namedrop Kelly's Heroes and Invasion of the Body Snatchers but ye got there ahead of me. Absolutely iconic roles in a crazy career full of great roles, but the former stuck out cos it was such an oddball turn growing up on TV flooded with ww2 flicks; while Invasion was just such a great movie before that iconic shot came along; he was a star with that X Factor.

    Had Don't Look Now queued up in my watchlist so I guess I really have to watch it now, in his honour.

    He did a great job playing Agar in The First Great Train Robbery with the late Sean Connery alongside him.

    I must rewatch that movie again as a great tribute to him soon. R.I.P. Donald.

    Such a diverse career. From Animal House to Kelly's Heroes to real sinister and unlikeable characters. Much like Kirk Douglas, he didn't mind playing diverse roles that might have alienated audiences even when his career solidified. Takes balls.

    Kiefer's gonna go on some bender tonight

    As mentioned in the general RIP thread... last thing I saw him in was the American War of Independence epic Revolution. Film was a mess but you couldnt take your eyes off him as a British officer.

    He bestrode it like something out of Greek myth, Achilles in the midst of the Trojan War, a formidable force of nature.

    RIP.

    Cloudbusting by Kate Bush. A music genius and Donald Sutherland in a video together - pure magic.

    RIP Mr. Sutherland, one of the very best.

    An addition to the list of fine, late Canadian actors, joining the likes of Raymond Massey, Hume Cronyn, Alexander Knox, Christopher Plummer, Joseph Wiseman, John Colicos etc.
