You can’t chose any Star Wars properties

Dude was one of the most prolific actors and managed to bring a sense of dignity to everything he did.

Christopher Lee said when Cushing died

quote:

I don't want to sound gloomy, but at some point of your lives, every one of you will notice that you have in your life one person, one friend whom you love and care for very much. That person is so close to you that you are able to share some things only with him. For example, you can call that friend, and from the very first maniacal laugh or some other joke you will know who is at the other end of that line. We used to do that with him so often. And then when that person is gone, there will be nothing like that in your life ever again.[154]

He's fantastic in a slew of the classic Hammer horror films. I'd single out these as my favorite of those:

Dracula
The Revenge of Frankenstein
The Flesh and the Fiends
The Mummy

He's also Osric in Olivier's Hamlet. Great movie, though I wouldn't call him a standout in it.

the original Tales from the Crypt movie from 1972. His segment is really memorable.

very underrated movie BTW. Some of the segments were later remade for the HBO show.

Any partt he plays in any of the Hammer horrors. It’s hard to pick just one

I watched an Amicus movie for the first time last night (The House that Dripped Blood) and if anything, he was even more prominent in Amicus movies from what I gather

here’s one with which you might not be familiar:




1972 British/Spanish production that greatly resembles the 1982 John Carpenter remake of The Thing - due to a missing copyright notice it fell into Public Domain

much better movie than it has any right to be, with brilliant performances from Cushing & Lee as rivals who have to work together to combat the shape-shifting creature

and as if that wasn’t enough, halfway through you have Telly Savalas completely stealing the picture as a nasty Russian cossack

definitely worth 90 minutes of your time
