Star Wars was the first movie that I can remember seeing in the theater when it came out (I was 7 at the time). However, the first movie I think of when I think of Alec Guinness is The Bridge on the River Kwai, followed by films like Kind Hearts and Coronets, The Mudlark, and Ladykillers.Reza wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2023 4:22 pmThank God for being of a certain age where one thinks of Sir Alec strictly in terms of his associations with David Lean & the Ealing comedies first. Star Wars is merely an amusing after thought.Mister Tee wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2023 3:25 pmWhich makes him a bit like Alec Guinness: an actor with a long list of notable credits, somehow remembered most for a lark of a role in a movie that made a ton of money.
As for Michael Gambon, I mostly know him from the Harry Potter movies. A lot of the other films that I've seen which he appeared in, he was in minor supporting roles. I thought The Singing Detective was okay.
