    I don't know how many of you have seen his performance in "Muhammad Ali Jinnah" but being a Pakistani I can tell you that no one could have done it better then Mr. Lee. I think this is how so many still remember Mr. Lee Cherish memories.

    Sir Christopher Lee was brilliant in the movie "Jinnah". In fact, brilliant is a small word to praise such a wonderful and amazing actor. He won the hearts of all Pakistanis with his portrayal of Pakistan's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah. As a Pakistani I would recommend all Sir Christopher Lee's fans to watch it. RIP Sir Lee.

    It's a shame Christopher Lee's brilliant performance in Jinnah got so little attention worldwide, especially compared to the amount of attention received by Gandhi, which launched Ben Kingsley to stardom.
    Not too surprising though, since the historical figure Muhammad Ali Jinnah himself wasn't as famous as Mahatma Gandhi, despite both being important figures in the nonviolent Indian independence movement.

      It was a brilliant film, and it saddens me that it got so little international attention.
      There are very few actors that I respect, Christopher Lee is on top of the list.

      Jinnah is really undermined - not that he was any less than gandhi or anyone of that stature - he's just undervalued. Gandhi's more famous because of the gandhi statues standing tall in different parts of the world which were totally funded by Indian govts.

    @ hjmyfgyfhfkhfkuyghgu- You state : "Hes gotten so old, I feel sorry for him". You must be joking. The man is 91 yrs old here. In great shape, is sharp as a tack, articulate, total recall, funny, still commanding audiences , big pay checks, and appearing in major motion pictures. Whats to feel sorry for? If you or I make it to 91, we can only hope to have a 10th of what this remarkable man has done, is doing, and will continue to do. Christopher Lee is the BOMB!!!!

      Reptilian yeah most people become completely senile around 60 and they live like the rest of their lives like a decoration plant in the living room.
      But I've notice those who use their brain in their daily work for problem solving, mental exercises or memorizing, remain just as fresh and quick witted as they were in the younger age. I'm amazed by his memory capacity. Though it makes me feel very sad that most likely we've seen him for the last time as Saruman.

    The Wicker Man is one of my all time favourite movies..it was great to hear him mention it when asked about his favourite role. The remake of the movie starring Nic Cage was truly awful (in my personal opinion).

  • @richardnorris9256

    Goddamn, he is so wonderful. I'm not into the LotR stuff, but his autobio is one of the most interesting books I have ever read. Seriously. Bond villain, Sith Lord, Dracula, Opera singer, met Sigmund Freud, witnessed the last public execution in France, had his finger broken by Errol Flynn......just a fascinating man.

    He's lived a very interesting life, and he shares his wit and his insights subtly; he preserve's his mystique because he loves his right to privacy. All the young primadonna narcissists of today's scene should watch and learn from the master.

    in today's world of using young actors for for all important rolls, I am happy for the wisdom to bring the older more experience actors like lee to good roles again. Older actors are regulated to small bit parts or play mean people. I remember in a Holly Wood stunt man with Burt Renolds! an old cowboy actor who was famous in his time had a bit part as Burt and another actor called him an old fart, sad!
    The young actors of today have a long way to be a patch of Christopher lees Shirt as good actors with their over paid salaries.

    Saying one thing and acting upon it are two different things, "you are free in the Soviet Union, there exists socialism and democracy here!". However in reality things are not only quite different, but in fact exactly the opposite.
