RIP – John Hurt
Really sad to lose John Hurt. He was an amazing actor and has 22 archiveable films (which is astounding) over a 50 year period. 22 archiveable films, 2 nominations for midnight express and the elephant man…. 8-9 best films that were top 10 top 10 of their year. He’s worked with Von Trier and Jarmusch among other great auteurs. I think 3 masterpieces: Alien, Dead Man and Melancholia. 1966- A Man For All Seasons 1978- Midnight Express 1979- Alien 1980- Elephant Man 1980- Heaven's Gate 1984- 1984 1984- The Hit 1990- The Field 1995- Dead Man 1995- Rob
