Jurassic Park
Hunt For Red October

In The Mouth of Madness
Dead Calm

No one pulls off the character who is the unheeded voice of wisdom better

Prove me wrong

Just in case someone read the thread title and had the same thoughts as I did, Sam Neil is still among us.

I'm just throwing flowers on a dawg who was great at his craft and took on some really cool roles

He excelled as being "the straight man" who either unraveled or went on to persever

I know he's retired, not post-humous

Also appears in The Triangle & briefly in Invasion on Apple TV. Real waste of a character & potential there.

I know the paleontologist (not personally) who served as the inspiration for the character of Alan Grant.

The Dish. One of his most underrated movies.

First time I saw him was in The Final Conflict Omen movie.

I wonder if he ever got to see Montana.

He was so good in Peaky Blinders, that you can sense a real drop off once his character was killed. Some great ones listed but would add:

A Cry In the Dark (maybe the dingo ate your babeeee)
The Piano (everyone was great in this great movie).

Neil is talented enough for the supporting roles he’s been in, I think he’s an accomplished actor.

The obvious question is why but deep down I’ll still see it out of morbid curiosity

It's just way too weird of a movie to remake.

It's of its time/place, 100%

I think Margaret Qualley is going to star as the female lead. I didn't see who the male lead was going to be.
