eitam 364 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 RIP Mr. Douglas I've only seen him in The Fury and 20000 Leagues Under the Seas, but the latter was one of those movies I watched over and over in my childhood. 10 hours ago, SteveMc said: Last of the legends.

Jay 37,271 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I have never seen a Kirk Douglas performance.. looking at his entire filmography, his Simpsons episode is the only thing he's done I've seen. bollemanneke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I've seen a bunch of Kirk Douglas movies, but he has a fond place in my memory because of two movies: Paths of Glory and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. For the latter in particular, I had the good 'ol Disney clamshell VHS that I watched over and over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do yourself a favor and see Lonely Are the Brave. Amazing Goldsmith score (my favorite of his feature scores), and quite arguably the best film he ever scored. Really powerful, and my favorite Kirk Douglas performance (also Kirk Douglas's own favorite of all his roles). Both film and score are absolute masterpieces, and my appreciation for the score increased tenfold when I finally saw the film. Also... Gena Rowlands deserves a mention -- not only a truly powerful performance from her as well, but she is absolutely BREATHTAKING in this movie.

Fancyarcher 350 Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 One of the most intense performers to ever come out of the golden age of Hollywood with so many classics to his name (Ace in The Hole, Paths of Glory etc...).
