"If only you can see what I have seen, with your eyes"

and improvised that monologue. Rest In Peace, RH. You done good.

Thanks for posting.

It is my favorite death scene of all time. Sad, poignant, and sweet.

of the 80's: Ladyhawke (which is one of my own favorite movies... and not in the hipster, bad-good way, just a movie I really enjoy watching)

"Do you know that hawks and wolves mate for life? The Bishop didn't even leave us that... not even that."

But I'm the first to admit his role as Roy Batty is a Hollywood icon. So much he said between the lines with eyes of quiet anguish.

I can think of.

I'm also a fan of that movie.

I liked "The Hitcher" (1986). Rutger Hauer really made that movie better than the average '80s slasher film. It was almost Terminator-esque.

I'm sorry to see him gone.

Rutger Hauer was one of those actors, akin to Alan Rickman and some others, who shine as villains, but make even better heroes.

I was always impressed with Hauer's flawless American accent. I know they start teaching English early in the Netherlands. And since World War II, English teachers there have more often been American, rather than British as before.

and Hauer was also in HBO's "Fatherland" which has become sadly prescient today...

And I'm usually pretty immune to scary movies.

It's one of Mrs.Starsky's and my favorite movies.

One of my favorite movies......magical.

RIP, RH

I loved that 1989 cheesy movie.

So wonderfully cheesy.

The bad guys in the elevator:
BG1: Shit
BG2: F*ck

BG1&2; Shit F*ck!


Then there was Split Second (one of my favorites, I even got a specialty place to put it on DVD)
"We need bigger Guns"

That film was my first thought upon hearing of his death. Also The Hitcher.

A genuinely great WWII movie, directed by the always reliable Paul Verhoeven. Don't know why it doesn't ever turn up on the TV movie channels.

Which is reason enough to watch, IMO.

Like you thought he was going to explode at any time.

The only low-key role I ever saw him in was when he played the conflicted Nazi architect Albert Speer in ABC's miniseries Inside the Third Reich, and he was terrific in that, too.

He was recently in S1 of The Last Kingdom and didn't look great. Other than Blade Runner, The Hitcher is my most memorable role from him. Just an evil bastard.

Saw that movie as a teenager and it freaked me out.

I was in Highschool and that ending changed me. Seriously...

He created a powerful character in Blade Runner and helped to really convey the theme of darkness that was established in the film.

RIP.

Terrific and Powerful acting.....NightHawks...

Thanks for all the thrills, chills, and sheer awe at so much understated talent.
