Duvall should on that list as well.

 

A little late for Shelley, unfortunately.

Apart from being a great actor plus a director & producer he was also a promoter of independent films via his Sundance Festival
He realised that the sort of independent films he loved from the 70’s & before were being sidelined by all these mindless corporate ‘blockbusters’ like the Marvel bollocks

Hah! Fair enough, I didn't know that as the old man and the gun was supposed to be billed as his last. Maybe it was a similar case to Caine coming back out of retirement so to top up his pension a bit.

Who's left now? Beatty, Hoffman, Nicholson, Pacino, Eastwood, De Niro

Maurice Micklewhite - Who's just agreed to come out of retirement to make yet another film at 93  

The greatest of them all. I was thinking more of the yank/hollywood types.

Very sad, made some absolutely brilliant films.  As well as the obvious such as Butch and Sundance and the fabulous The Sting, I especially enjoyed his later films "All is Lost", "The Old Man and The Gun" and the highly enjoyable "Walk in the Woods" with Nick Nolte.  Plus a lovely film with Jane Fonda, although maybe not the best title in "Our Souls at Night".  RIP to a true legend of film.

Clint Eastwood is the Keith Richards of the movies, he'll never die.

I'll give The Chase a go.

Very well known, handsome but i dont think he ever had a really great lead role in anything. Newman stole the show in butch cassidy imo.

Who's left now? Beatty, Hoffman, Nicholson, Pacino, Eastwood, De Niro

One of my favourite movies he was in and not that well known was The Chase from 1966. Just look at this cast:

Marlo Brando
Jane Fonda
James Fox
Angie Dickinson
Robert Duvall

had the greatest of smiles, a true movie star. one of the less celebrated films of his I loved was The Last Castle

Just Cllnt Eastwood left of the proper film stars. Maybe Tom Cruise

Not one punter ever, ever went to see a Robert Downey Jnr film, let alone that gay cսnt Pedro Pascal.

RIP Sundance. For a minute there, I thought you were in trouble...

"Robert Deadford"


Not the traditional WHO format but I'll allow it

Great actor
Ludicrously good looking man too
RIP

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, along with The Sting were two of my favourite movies as a youngster.  I also loved Brubaker.

RIP Bob
