The long good Friday - one of the very best British gangster films

 

[Ridley327]

RIP

Somehow managed to be criminally underrated for his entire career, but anyone who has seen him in at least one of his films knows what's up.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Damn terrible news to wake up to
Rest in piece Bob. You always gave 120% no matter the movie.

One of the best endings to a film.

First time I saw this I was gutpunched. The way the music kicks in was sublime.

That's Pierce Brosnan. Holy crud.

 

[GentlemanCrow]

This man was my childhood. I was that 0.1% who loved Super Mario Bros. Coupled with Roger Rabbit and I have so much to thank him for.

RIP.

Agreed. For my money, the best film ending of all time. And one of the greatest performances you'll ever see.

 

[sixpackrules]

That´s sad, i have to rewatch Mona Lisa one of this days, one of my favourites movies

 

[DukeBobby]

RIP

Great actor.

 

[Andiie]

Wow, RIP.

 

[AkuMifune]

I'll have to check out the Long Good Friday today, thanks.

I remember him also as the sleazy manager from The Wall. Great actor.

He's an artist! [Stuffs cash into hotel manager's pockets, then begins slapping Pink] He's coming around! There, you see! How do you feel?

RIP

 

[Scarecrow]

Goodbye Eddie Valiant

 

[Astro Monster]

A shame

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

That's Pierce Brosnan. Holy crud.

His first role, an unnamed thug!

The acting on Hoskins face in that scene is masterful.

RIP

 

[Nokterian]

RIP Bob..such a great actor. And he retired from the movie industry not long ago because he got parkison. Man a lot of great actors gone now in such a short time Farewell Smee sail the seven seas with hook!

 

[smokeymicpot]

Was watching Roger Rabbit a few days ago too. Rip.

 

[Rastafarian42]

RIP to a great actor.

 

[Hayama Akito]

RIP to another hero of my childhood: Roger Rabbit, Hook and Super Mario Bros... damn.

 

[Space Runaway]

Damn that's a real shame. A fine actor I always enjoyed watching. RIP

 

[Lionel Mandrake]

One of the best, seriously,

I felt like he never got the respect he deserved.

 

[pikablu]

Goodbye Mario, Mario.

 

[PaperFlame]

RIP

 

[fallengorn]

Shit. Rest in peace.

Loved that ending. The music and what you can see going through his head through Hoskins' acting is great.

 

[Shadowlink]

Damn! Think I'll re-watch Who Framed Rogger Rabbit tonight. RIP!

 

[Kitschkraft]

Always enjoyed his performances. Condolences.

For BOBO

The first thing I think of about Bob Hoskins isn't Eddie Valiant, or Mario, or Smee. It's this:

[Jessica Nigri]

Such a shame. He was a fantastic actor. RIP

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Excellent actor. Rest in peace.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

R.I.P =(

 

[Fun Factor]

Mario movie wasn't that bad.
RIP.

 

[akira28]

wow that sucks.

 

[Fun Factor]

RIP

I know him primarily from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Super Mario Bros, and Hook. To a lesser extent, also Hollywoodland.

People should check out The Long Good Friday & Mona Lisa.
Two classic movies.

 

[Rhaknar]

everyone from my childhood is fucking dying left and right

RIP mr. hoskins

 

[AuthenticM]

If Hoskins could see this post he'd be furious as shit. The dude fucking hated that movie. He said it was his biggest regret in life. Now a lot of people will remember his as "the Super Mario actor".

 

[Megalosaro]

Bob Hoskins was a great actor. I'll always remember him from The Wall and Hook.

[Spaghetti]

absolutely superb actor. i was broken up when he decided to quit acting because of parkinsons disease, but this is fucking emotionally draining. one of the few actors with careers i got incredibly invested in.

rest in peace bob.

 

[Freeza Under The Shower]

RIP indeed.

 

[jufonuk]

Long good Friday and Who Framed Roger Rabbit should be played on the BBC or itv in the UK.

 

[GaimeGuy]

May just be because I was born in 1988 so WFRR and Hook were kind of fresh when I was a child, and i saw him in stuff like Unleashed as I got older, but Bob Hoskins had to have been among the most famous, if not the most famous, non A-list actor in hollywood.

 

[Digital-Hero]

Mr. Smee! Nooooooooooo!

 

[Kimawolf]

Damn with him and Capt Lou gone Mario has lost his last life. RIP.

 

[jufonuk]

what about Charles Martinet?

 

[The Real Abed]

It's from a video gaming website. What do you expect?

 

[Kimawolf]

what about Charles Martinet?

Ooh right I guess Mario got one more 1 up then.

 

[Auto-Reply]

This reminds me that Dennis Hopper also past away 4 years ago (King Coopa in the Mario Bros Movie)
