Ah crap one of my favourites.

Have to post this, one of the great final scenes of a film. Not a word needs to be said

'The Trouble with Michael Caine' featured the spitting image version of Caine and Hoskins having a chat must see if I can find it.

Havn't seen too many of his films but he was brilliant in The Long Good Friday.One of the best gangster films of all time.

Loved him in Mona Lisa too

Last thing I remember seeing him in was this little story from Paris, je t'aime which I love

Also this, love the last kick and the run away

Was a huge fan of Who Frames Roger Rabbit growing up and was always nice seeing him pop up in various movies. RIP.

RIP.

Loved him in Roger Rabbit.

RIP,

Man I will always remember him from the Super Mario Bro's Movie

Long Good Friday will have to be watched tonight again. RIP Bob

old hippy

He was excellent in the BBC drama "The Street" a few years back.Think that's the last thing I saw him in.

I can't make my mind up which I prefer as his best role, though. LGF or Mona Lisa.

What a great idea. LGF tonight and Mona Lisa another night.

He oozed brutality in the LGF. Hidden for the most part but...........


Great acting.

Loved Who Framed Rodger Rabbit, he was brilliant in that.

Rest easy.

Incredible actor and I particularly liked the fact that he wasn't classicly good looking: pure charm and talent.

Really sad to read this.
His performance as Harold Shand in The Long Good Friday will live long in the memory. A truly compelling and at times frightening performance.

Also loved him in Brazil and Mona Lisa.

RIP Bob.

Played the bad guy in Unleashed a movie with Jet Li as his hitman/brain washed goon, Bob was a monster in it, great film.

RIP Mr. Smee.

An underrated gem of a flick.

I watched the long good friday again the other night. This scene at the end is Bob's finest moment in my opinion.
