I mean, if you gotta go, this is the way to do it.

Kirk Douglas, acclaimed actor, dead at 103

A true legend. I grew up enjoying his films, and still do. May his memory be a blessing.

Paths of Glory, Spartacus, and,um, Cactus Jack.
Always good to watch.

 

[Danny McG]

There was a sci fi film where he was with Farrah, I can't think of the title but he impressed even though he must have been in his sixties

 

[Foxbat]

I think for me Lust For Life was his greatest. Of course, there were many other great performances from him. The end of a life, the beginning of a legend.

 

[Droflet]

Saturn five was his only sc fi movie, and quite a good one.

 

[Ian Fortytwo]

RIP Kirk. Of course the Vikings with Tony Curtis.

You're forgetting 20,000 Leagues under the Sea.

Oh. RIP. That man is a history of that culture himself.

You're forgetting 20,000 Leagues under the Sea.

Also The Final Countdown

He was in so many great films but one of my favourites doesn't get much respect. Tough Guys. RIP.

 

[DannMcGrew]

RIP Kirk. Of course the Vikings with Tony Curtis.

I can't count the number of "Viking funerals" my brother and I presided over. RIP all those little fish.

 

[DannMcGrew]

Almost as impressive and important as his screen accomplishments was his stand against the blacklist. A man of great character in both meanings of the word.

 

[Boneman]

He and Burt Lancaster were true giants of the screen, way back when. Amazing actor and an amazing man.

 

[Rodders]

A genuine legend. R. I. P. Kirk.

The film was Saturn 3. It costarred Haver Keitel. For it time ,it had great visuals. but was otherwise an abysmal film.

Great actor, so many good film parts, RIP Kirk.
