Mike Yarwood, impressionist has passed at 82.
I mean no disrespect, but I honestly thought he’d died decades ago.

Roger Whittaker.
That takes me back to the tv my parents used to watch when I was a kid.

RIP - I've never seen NCIS, but watched plenty of The Man From U.N.C.L.E. repeats as a kid and for me he and Robert Vaughan will always be a big part of the 60s zeitgeist.
And of course this:

He was a musician as well? Didn't know that, talented chap! Loved Man from UNCLE and Sapphire and Steel. R.I.P

John Leyton who played Willie “Tunnel King” and William Russell who played Sorren, last two remaining apparently.

I gave up years ago trying to get my kids to watch films like this, that we grew up on.
Are they just so ingrained because there was nothing else on and we were forced to watch repeats all the time?
They just have so much new content these days, have no time for what admittedly looks very old now.

Yep complete waste of time trying to get them to watch anything like that, weirdly though, during the last week of the summer hols my bored boy (10) did sit through most of (a subtitled film) Narvik, the story of Hitlers first defeat, in Norway. Subtitles seems to be a thing for their generation so at least they don't seem to balk at watching when they have to (btw it was OK probably 6/10 - Netflix).

Some of them have definitely aged a bit and are a bit dubious and they action in some is laughable now, since we've had the likes of Saving Private Ryan etc but some are still great all round movies and entertaining, rather than brutal war films.

Do we have a "War Films" thread?

Try your boy on Hannibal Brooks, it’s the war film I grew up with. It’s been 30 years since I’ve seen it though, mind. |

Hannibal Brooks, yay, definitely on the side of entertaining rather than brutal war film!  |

Big loss, some great performances over his long career obviously but one of his most memorable, in a film I don't actually like, is in "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover" he was so good at playing an utter cunt.

He played an absolute twat in Gosford Park too - great actor, had a real sense of gravitas around him.

Gambon was a bit of a legend. He could be cuddly and avuncular but also a proper bastard if necessary.

Gonna have to watch Layer Cake tonight. Gambon was brilliant in that as Eddie Temple.

I need to rewatch that. Only seen it once and I was quite drunk, so can't quite remember everything.

Surprised you can't remember the name of Daniel Craig's character in it.

Is it a bit more than Lock Stock 3.0/Snatch 2.0?
Not that I didn't enjoy those but they're enough on their own, for me
