CharlesGrey: Are there any other Christopher Lee films you'd recommend, in particular older ones?
Airport 3. :^P

edit:

Correction, it should be Airport '77, which was the 3rd Airport movie.

Riotact: Watched The Wicker Man last night in memory.

CharlesGrey: Wasn't there a sequel or spin-off of Wicker Man released a while ago, with a Christopher Lee cameo? I heard it's not as good as the original, but haven't seen it yet.

darthspudius: He was a remarkable person. I'd sell my soul 10x over to have a quarter of his talent.

CharlesGrey: I wonder if he was born with some natural "gift" for acting, languages etc., or if he simply worked hard to make full use of his potential, unlike most people. Perhaps his experiences during the war had a lasting impact on him, causing him to appreciate life more, and fueling him to make the most of every single day. Kind of weird to imagine that such negative events could ultimately bring out the best in some people.

By the way, that website you have linked, is it your own? It's some sort of music news and review site? I only gave it a brief look earlier.
Yup Nic Cage,in 2006, I had just managed to forget that travesty and then you come along and dredge it all back up AGAIN!!! >.<

Watch Hot Fuzz instead a modern parody of it :)

As for Christopher Lee, all the Hammer movies definitely check them out.

There is one that Christopher Lee would recommend.

Yeah that website is my own. Kind of what I do when I'm bored out my mind. Talk about music when you're not doing other things. :)

Looks interesting, thanks! I'll probably order a few DVDs next month, so I'll see if I can check this one out.

Hah hah, was it that bad? ( Wicker Tree )

I've actually seen Hot Fuzz, but didn't make the connection to The Wicker Man at the time. Definitely had a similar setting and elements, now that you mention it.

I intend to get my hands on a few of his old films, including some of the Hammer Studio productions.

Thanks, I've just watched the little interview clip. Not sure if the film is something I'd normally watch, but he definitely made it sound interesting. Was it even released on DVD? I couldn't seem to find it at Amazon.

I am not sure. There is this, which looks like a museum relique more than a shop product ("1 collectible from £300" ?). And if I understood well, attempts at releasing that film met some issues.

So, I am not certain it can be found by traditional, legal means. Yet, I feel like we owe to Lee to watch it some day (not to mention that Pakistan's history is interesting in itself). So... :-/

It was more of a joke suggestion, though worth a view for the star studded cast, prepare for a lot of cheese!
Airport (1970) is a must see though, if you want to know where Airplane was based upon and Airport '74 is worth viewing for the external Boeing 747 flying over the rockies shots which is beautiful cinematography even by todays standards.
Airport '79 is even more cheese, but watch'em all for George Kennedy. :^)

As a kid I only knew Christopher Lee's voice... in German.
Many people don't know, that he was a voice actor for German versions too, for example in (Thor) and [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084237/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1]The Last Unicorn (King Haggard). No voice actor could have done it any better, he was just so unique.

His acting in Gormenghast (alongside many other marvellous actors) is probably my favourite.
You can see in his last scene there, that because of his duty in special forces, he actually knew how a stabbed man sounds like... I guess that's where he learned all the languages as well as the ability to play all those very evil roles since he must have seen very dark stuff in reality indeed.

R.I.P.
