RIP Christopher Plummer (1 Viewer)

[Matt Hough]

Another tremendous loss of a supremely talented actor. I bought the 4K streaming version of Knives Out but haven't watched it yet since I saw the film in the theater and wanted to wait awhile to experience it again. Tonight may be the night in tribute to him.

I wish I could have seen him on stage in Barrymore. Was it filmed for PBS or some other commercial outlet?

Great talent who will forever be remembered fondly.

Per IMDb, yes. It was part of the PBS Great Performances banner programming in 2014. However, I'm not sure if that means it is available to watch now.

Well, it's on Blu-ray, and I just ordered it.

Was outstanding as Klingon General Chang in ST: The Undiscovered Country. Brought gravitas to the role.

Actually, he was Canadian. Born in Toronto.

Isn't Canada part of the 'British' Commonwealth ?

BARRYMORE is a classic.

KNIVES OUT is a gem of a movie.

I saw Christopher Plummer on stage in NYC in OTHELLO and also saw his daughter Amanda in another play in the same week

Very true, but it's not Great Britain and it's citizens are Canadian, not British.

 

[John Dirk]

A true one of a kind talent who clearly loved his craft. R.I.P. to yet another one of the greats.

 

[Jeffrey D]

I’ll give All The Money In The World a watch today, in tribute to him.

 

[dana martin]

prayers for his family, as another great passes, and the list of great roles that he stepped into and brought to life in it's own unique way. he is the glue that holds Doctor Parnassus together, great in The Man Who Would Be King, but really did he ever give a bad performance.

One of my fondest memories though, is him and Julie reuniting in 2001 for a live TV version of On Golden Pond, where we got to see his stage work.

When the name Christopher Plummer comes up for most people I would assume that the first movie that comes to mind is "The Sound of Music". For me, it's the movie, and the role, that is most opposite of that one: "The Silent Partner".

I very much enjoyed Plummer playing the role of Prospero for a production of The Tempest for the Stratford Shakespeare Festival that I saw in a recording in my local arthouse theater.

I have had work the past 2 nights so I haven't had much time to celebrate Christopher Plummer but I intend to watch The Sound of Music tonight after the Super Bowl and I might watch Knives Out sometime during the week.

My wife and I are itching to watching The Sound of Music, but we’re moving in a little over a week and have all our movies packed already, and it’s not one we have on digital. But it’ll probably be the first movie we watch at our new place.

That would certainly be a good housewarming movie.

It is available on Disney+ if you have that.
