    My favorite line of his was from Toy Story, when the toys are listening in to the birthday party gifts being opened.

    I loved Married to the Mob and Something Wild. The Feelies appeared as the band playing at the reunion scene in Something Wild which made a great movie even better.

    That was Ted Demme director of Blow and Life.He died in '02.

    Married to the Mob was a great film, ditto Crazy Mama, the Last Embrace and Melvin and Howard. His early films should be better known.

    Very sad about this, The Silence of the Lambs is my favourite film of all time, seen it countless times. Great director.

    Just rewatched 'Swing Shift' and I loved it. The film where Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell began their love affair.

    Jonathan Demme RIP.

    Geoffrey Bayldon dies at 93.

    Had a small role in Hammer's Dracula and a ton of other films where he became a bit of a "that guy" face that nobody could remember the name of.

    But most people of a certain age will remember him from 'Worzel Gummidge' or 'Catweazle'.
