    I couldn't agree more with you Jessica.
    I'd have to add The Great Escape in 3rd place, which made me weep as a child.

        HE will always be Dr. Sam Loomis.

                Yep, I have seen him in two movies, Escape from New York and the Columbo TV-movie but he really left an impression in Columbo.

                  Surprised and shocked the hell out of me when I saw him in WAKE IN FRIGHT.
                  DR. CRIPPEN is nice too.

                    Ooh, good choice. He scared the crap out of me in "Wake in Fright" too. I also particularly like his performance as the police inspector in the great little 70s Brit horror movie "Death Line" - otherwise known as "Raw Meat" to the Americans out there. Pleasence added a touch of class to everything he did - which is just as well, given some of the terrible trash he appeared in. 😛

                      "The Great Scape"
                      He was one of the greatest supporting actors of all time, it is incredible how people miss and remember him.

                        I found his portrayal of Heinrich Himmler in
                        The 5b4Eagle Has Landed
                        to be perhaps the most chilling Himmler portrayal ever. Like a pleasant (no pun intended) little administrator, but absolutely cold-blooded at the core.

                                Wake in Fright is a superb performance.

                                  Pleasence gives an absolutely fearless performance as a drunken and depraved fallen intellectual in Wake in Fright.
