Alan was the KING of dry humor timing. Always nailed it.
Rest in peace, Alan. We won't forget you.
This film had it all; humor, heart and story. It satirized Star Trek without being mean spirited. Always worth seeing again.
A LOT of people, including die hard Trekkies, call Galaxy Quest one of the best Star Trek movies. Why? Because it poked fun at it and the audience without belittling them. It honoured them.
It was the best kind of spoof, the kind that loved the thing it was spoofing. Like Mystery Men and Zoolander.
Galaxy Quest was simultaneously a tribute and a parody, and it amazingly worked on both levels. Seriously, about how many other movies can you say that?
For the longest time it was the only Star Trek spoof that i loved. Until The orville came out. Love them both.
Star Trek X: Galaxy Quest
Galaxy Quest is one of the absolute all-time underrated movies. It is near criminal that this movie was panned as much as it was back in the day. It's a love letter to Sci-Fi movies and their fans and it makes me happier every time I watch it.
My brother and I saw this movie in the theater when it came out. We were kids then, and we both loved every minute of it!
It's one of those I love turning people on to.
I swear, that scene where he says his ''By Grabthars Hammer line'' for a dying Quellek gets me emotional every time I see it. The way he said it with such conviction for his biggest fan in his last moments. He was a wonderful actor.
Same. Amazing that this movie had not just one but two moments like that. The other being "Mathazar i am so sorry."
Makes me cry, that moment
@@TomGallagherSuperboyBeyond when Tim Allen said that, Alan Rickman observed, "Tim Allen has finally discovered how to act," or similar words.
Yeah, that was beautiful.
I'm tearing up simply reading your comment. What an amazing talent.
I'm fighting Cancer and my Motto is Never give up, Never Surrender ...I tell it to everyone, best Motto ever
I agree, best motto ever delivered by one of the most talented actors of all time. Take care, I hope it's o.k. that I said a prayer for you.
Good luck hope you pull through.
My best wishes for your recovery.
By Grabthars Hammer you will defeat your foe xoxoxox
Remember, absolutely no sugar.
Be sure to eat blueberries, broccoli, CHOPPED garlic, pineapple, and 2-3 brazil nuts per day. Sprinkle & mix turmeric into the HOT foods/meals you're having. Have some dandelion tea. And if all else seems to fail, try cannabis oil.
The most charming thing I heard about the late, lamented Alan Rickman was from Daniel Radcliff. It was the first movie and Alan came and sat with him and Radcliff said: "what was astounding was, he was giving me acting tips and he was talking to me as a fellow actor, not a child".
Yes i heard that too. And it seems the Cast of the HP movies were treated very different from the usual child actor-stereotype stuff. Maybe that is the reason why they did not feel too deep into a career gap after the films.
So the nicest thing he could find to say about Rickman was... actually about himself and you find that charming?
@@FFGelfling She seemed to find Alan Rickman's approach to child actors, as reported by Radcliff, charming.
@@FFGelfling Taking a child seriously is actually a very good thing to do. Many people don't truly do it.
@@top-ten.music_and_more I heard alot of that was from Chris Columbus. After the nightmare of Home Alone he made sure that not only did the kids work well together but there were no "stage parents" around to screw them up.
Alan is that rare set of actors and is up there with James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman where you just cant stop hearing his voice or just cant stop watching their performance. It is just those rare gifts that cant compare...
"He was the first movie star...who wanted to be my friend."--Enrico Colantoni
Kinda says it all.
This hits sooo hard....you can feel how much it means to him.
@@thomasnieswandt8805 same for Patrick Breen.
It's even more special when you think that Rickman wasn't just a movie star, he was a legend already at that point.
That comment gave me a thump in the solar plexus. ❤️
Loved Enrico on Person of Interest!
What make "Galaxy Quest" so great is it makes fun of the actors rather than the fans.
And writers (and maybe producers).
And it's interesting that there were a few former Star Trek actors who found the film hilarious - excepting William Shatner, who did not get the meaning of the story at all, and had no idea who the Jason Nesmith character was representing (or at least pretended to). His attitude did not surprise me - that guy takes himself far too seriously.
And ... its the fans (in the film) who save the heroes vs. the other way around.
From Sense and Sensibility to Die Hard to Galaxy Quest to Harry Potter, now that is range. A great actor
and a great man.
Dogma in there somewhere.
And Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves and Love, Actually and The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
Dont forget Quigly Down Under.
"It's been fun. Intermittently." That's the best line of the video, and best characterizes who Alan Rickman was.
I also liked the flowing, cursive "Fuck You" in his note to Justin Long 😂😂😂
From the doco but not in this clip, was when Tim Allen got choked up delivering an emotional scene and retired to his trailer to recover. Someone asked what was the matter, and Alan drily replied, "I think he just experienced acting!"
@@donmurray3638 It didn't have any long term impact on the quality of Allen's performances, still a one note hack.
I'm absolutely going to start working this into something. I'll go out of my way to setup a scenario where I get to say this.
Alan Rickman. The master. The essence of decency and calm. The actor who always entranced me.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
This movie is up there with The Princess Bride as far as I'm concerned
Funny you should say that! I played TPB for my Wife last week and today was GQ. Her first time for both movies...
Yes! And both of them are full of hilarious, quotable lines!
That's a good comp.
@@raydunakin yup
@@samiam619 dont forget 1985 Fright Night!
"Where are you going?" "To see if there's a pub!" LMAO
That was the best answer ever. His captain (and opposite actor) gets a steak, he gets bugs in a soup bowl. Damn straight I would look for a pub.
Alan Rickman is one of those artists that I continually mourn the absence of. I’ll never get over the loss of him.
"He was the first movie star that wanted to be my friend." Lost it on that one. :'(
That caught me so off guard
Alan was the only actor who could have made a line like “By Grabthar’s Hammer” work.
I don't know, a lot of Star Trek dialogue gets pretty out there.
@@mikearchibald744 Yes, but, did they make it work? :-P or do you groan when you watch it?
@@Chimera_Photography I didn't exactly tear up here, because it was a comedy. When he FIRST said it it was pretty obvious it was going to be used in some fashion like that before it was over. My point is that there are LOTS of good actors out there, not putting down Alan Rickman god rest his soul. Star Trek was usually done fairly well and wasn't a comedy so the 'suspension of disbelief' meant I didn't groan at much-the original series pretty much primed against that.
"...what a savings. 😐"
Maybe Patrick Stewart or Derek Jacobi could have done it as well, as we've seen in their own roles in different things over the years, but Rickman made this film his own by being able to show that character arc from prickly frustrated thespian just phoning it in to pay the bills to being fully invested in the role.
Alan was a legendarily good actor
One actor on Harry Potter was having genuine problems at home and says Alan saved him from going completely crazy, because only Alan actually noticed he was having a bad time. Alan picked up on the issues the guy was hiding brilliantly from everyone else. It says a lot more than people realise because some actors can be going through hell at home yet there’s no clue on set, but he saw it.
Ken Branagh said “Alan could see past your public ‘everything’s fine’ face in seconds and always knew the right time to catch you and let you know he was there for you… even fluffing lines so that you got a second take because though the director was happy he could see you weren’t, so he ensured you got that chance to go again, even though he’d done his part perfectly or when it was his scene, he’d do something that made the director go again just so you felt good…right about what you’d done…and he’d do it for everyone from the star to the extra… he wanted everyone to have their spot and get to shine”
That’s beautiful! Thanks for sharing this story. 🙏🏼 He was a very special person.
Ive always thought that the only way to know what is "real art" is to wait 20 years and see if its still worth seeing. Galaxy Quest is great art.
Yes, very much so.
You, sir, are a god amongst ants!
Indubitably.
"Galaxy Quest" is one of the best movies ever made!
That, and if you have to pay to watch it.
Alan Rickman was an awesome actor, and since his passing, the world is a sadder place without him.
Well, a less sonorous satin voiced place anyway. ;)
Yes i agree with u
Agreed. It was Alan Rickman and David Bowie in the same week. What a s**t week that was.
@@marthapackard8649 george michael and prince also died in the same year as Bowie.
@@marthapackard8649 Pretty early in the year too.
Whenever I meet someone new and ask them, "What's the best Star Trek movie?" if they say Galaxy Quest, I know i've made a great friend.
Amen!
No, the best Trek movie is the Wrath of Khan. Galaxy Quest, however, is a very strong Number Two.
@@hiawathabray885 now you sound like my husband. Lol.
@@hiawathabray885 Your terms are acceptable. LOL
Its number two on my freiendship test list. If you dont like GQ, we cant be friends.
His best line was ‘I see you managed to get your shirt off.’
Greatest serious spoof of Star Trek ever. And I still cry every time Quellek dies satisfied by the heartfelt pledge of "By Grabthar's Hammer..."
I loved how Alan was never seen out of his prosthetic, even in scenes when at home. This is the hint as to his character’s angst and conflict over the role: he could not let go, even while he hated it.
In much the same way, Nimoy sported the Spock hairdo even in everyday life (I was there when he cut one of his records). He could have brushed his bangs aside, but -- another marvelous Galaxy Quest insight.
@@rameyzamora1018 What are you talking about? Nimoy never wore his hair like his character Spock in everyday life. This is flat out FALSE. He at a certain time had short hair and it may have looked similar only because it was short, but he NEVER wore that straight bangs haircut in real life. He even had long hair in his older years. You can see many many MANY pics on google and not one has Spocks hairstyle unless it was him in character.
@@avidadolares - I read an interview with Nimoy where he stated that his father, a barber, was the one who cut his hair that way.
@@avidadolaresThankfully you are here with your insight to keep the record straight...
Rickman was a thespian in the truest sense. In Galaxy Quest, he delivered the " Grabthar " line with such emotion, it is the most memorable scene in the film. He was a beautiful, talented man.
Galaxy Quest is so under rated. It's hilariously good.
Alan Rickman was one of my favorite actors. Watching this and hearing the stories made me laugh hysterically and appreciate him even more. RIP Alan.
The “You broke the bloody ship!” Line has always stuck with me. When I saw him on Harry Potter I would always say it.
I said that line to the tv, in an early episode of The Orville, when that ship was damaged :)
that and when he went looking for a pub! LOVE that part!
"Truly, Madly, Deeply" - one of his best.
My favorite. 💔😭
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
--I LOVE this movie! When they are seeing shapes in the clouds, adorable!
And the miniseries Rasputin, he was as mad and mesmeric as you could imagine the Russian preacher/healer was.
That one hits me so powerfully, having lost my wife and wishing most deeply that I could talk with her one last time. Needless to say, there are tears whenever I watch it.
His character was the soul of the movie. Stole the show. A perfectly entertaining, very underrated, film
...same way he stole the film, "Robin Hood".
Just like Shatner and Nimoy. Shatner didn't like how popular Spock was because HE was the star, and Nimoy was kinda stealing the show from him. I know that's the dynamic they were going for in Galaxy Quest, but Rickman still really overshadows Tim Allen, and I thought that when it first came out too, before I knew as much about Alan Rickman. Since his death it's only increased. We'll never have any more Alan Rickman performances. Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen a bad Rickman performance. Maybe I haven't seen everything he's done, but still...
@@kathygetchel4657 And the way he stole the film, "Die Hard".
@@SaguaroBlossom Have you seen "Truly, Madly, Deeply"? Best movie ghost story *ever* IMO.
@@kathygetchel4657 I loved his lusciously evil portrayal of the Sheriff of Nottingham
One of the best family movies ever made imo. The perfect cast lineup. RIP Alan Rickman you were a monster of an actor and will be remembered forever!
Quelleks death scene still makes me cry. Such a great film, start to finish.
It really shows how sacred trust is. Rickman is so funny in his own sardonic, misanthropic way, then he rises to ultimate height during Quellek's death scene, proving he would rather die than violate innocent trust.
The whole cast, but especially Rickman, grounded their performances as jaded actors in a deeply human cynical truth. In turning that cynicism on its head, they gave the movie its emotional stakes in a scene like Quellek’s death. It’s those emotional stakes that elevate Galaxy Quest above slapstick space comedies (Spaceballs being a prime example). The laughs mean something. The laughs are worth more.
Yup.. every time
7:18 me too.
"By Grabthar's Hammer, by the Sons of Warvan, you shall be avenged."
"By Grabthar's Hammer, by the Sons of Warvan, you shall be avenged." The most touching line in any movie.
Agree with it being a brilliant movie and tremendously underrated. Great performances, great writing and great directing!
"Why spoon?". "Because it will hurt more!".
I love that line. I use it quite often when making idol threats.
Up there with cancel Christmas
I'm saddened by Alan's passing, and also disappointed because the series was going to happen but didn't due to his death.. but they are right to not go through with the series... it just won't be the same without him.
Although I kind of think that any actor would be heartbroken at such an idea (also gratified in a way, but I'd probably watch the show with another actor).
Open on a ceremony renaming the Protector for Dr. Lazarus as a tribute to the passing of the character.
@@kurtsnyder4752 Yeah, fact is, in any comedy, sure the actors are important, but if the writing isn't there, it isn't there. ANd the writing was certainly there in the movie, although it was SUCH a parody that it almost 'wrote itself' in a way. But thats hard to do twice. But still worth trying. I never really understood this notion that if you make a shitty sequel it somehow ruins the first. Patrick Steward as a 'brother' to Dr. Lazarus, or hell, wasn't there an alien on Star Trek that was a bug inside a host, so they just switched actresses or something?
@@mikearchibald744 That "bug" is the symbiote in the kost of the joined species Trill. Terry Farrell played Jadzia Dax, the 5th host of the Dax symbiot. After Jadzia was killed, Ezri hosted Dax and she was played by Nicole De Boer. They were very much like Stargate's Goua'ld.. Mr Stewart has a bit much on his plate now with Picard and maybe another XMen movie in the offing.
Was the series going to be "Galaxy Quest" the show within the movie or "Galaxy Quest" the movie about the actors who played parts in that TV show? Hopefully it would be the latter. But anyway it was best to leave that one alone without Alan. I think most fans would agree.
Alan's “By Grabthar’s Hammer....” moment in the film to Quellek always brings tears to my eyes.
Yup
When I first watched "Galaxy Quest", I was completely blown away by how good it all was. Everything clicked with this movie.
Alan Rickman brought something critical to Galaxy Quest. He will be missed.
That scene where the alien is dying and Rickman gives his little speech that he had given so many times earlier that he had come to DESPISE it...only this time he said it with passion and feeling that brought tears to my eyes. "By Grabthar's Hammer...you shall be avenged".
He was the scene stealer as Metatron in Dogma, so deadpan so Allan Rickman so bloody brilliant.
this is the sweetest tribute co-stars had ever given to Alan
7:21 Yep laughed my ass off through the whole movie, then balled like a newborn in that scene. Alan such a consummate actor, a joy to watch him churn every nuance and hidden humorous moments out of villainous roles. The first Harry Potter movie I told my brother. Snape isn't a bad guy, he's going to turn out to be the secret hero.
I couldn't help but cry ... I miss Alan, I really miss him ... and I feel bad.
Sigourney looks amazing. Good tribute to Alan, R.I.P.
Sigourney does look amazing. I was a little surprised by that. She looks better now than she did in the movie almost. How does that happen?
@@kathleenr4047 lots of money
@@lupinacciproductions8189 Money does not always help in such cases.
There are at least two celebrities who have aged extremely well - Jamie Lee Curtis (62) and Sigourney Weaver (71).
@@lupinacciproductions8189 She looks pretty natural to me. Shes late 60s. Honestly I think shes the most beautiful woman.
Wil Wheaton hit the nail right on the head; Alan was so much more than Harry Potter. Die Hard, Quigley Down Under, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Dogma, Something the Lord Made....I can't think of any part that he wasn't capable of playing.
I always tell people, "If you haven't seen 'Rasputin' you haven't really seen Alan Rickman."
4:43 Sigourney chokes up. That says it all. This man is so missed. What a voice and actor.
No one could portray self loathing better than when he said “By Grabthars hammer........what a savings”. The pause was perfect.
And how during the pause his lips come together to make the w, but seems to be interrupted by a dry heave. All so subtle and natural.
Galaxy Quest is a rare thing. Even as it is a spot on, hilarious parody of certain kinds of science fiction, especially Star Trek, it manages to be a compelling suspenseful drama, too.
I’ve watched this numerous times and every time it makes me cry. RIP Alan Rickman.
I love his body of work, but am ESPECIALLY fond of his role as the Metatron in DOGMA...💕💕💕
According to Kevin Smith, having Alan on board made Jason Mewes step up his performance in order to not piss Alan off.
Besides Galaxy Quest, my favourite movie of his is Quigley Down Under.
Me too, but I don't think I've ever seen him in a bad film... and especially never saw him give anything but a perfect performance. I know I haven't seen it all(his entire filmography), but I'm sure if I had, that statement wouldn't change
The little bit of business about a stain on his sleeve. A gem.
I shared this with a friend of mine who had never seen Galaxy Quest. Now that he has seen it, he won't shut up. And I'm loving every second of it.
Dr. Lazarus, Professor Snape...such a sad loss to the movie industry.
don't forget hans gruber
And my favorite Colonel Brandon ❤
Sheriff of Nottingham
Don't forget Marvin
You are forgetting one of his funniest parts. Metatron in Dogma, geez he was hilarious in that.
Alan Rickman was such a versatile actor. I don't think there was a role he couldn't play and more than that, he would own it. He was utterly fantastic in every role but every so often, my romantic side yearns to see Sense and Sensibility. And Galaxy Quest is my Sci-fi comedy favorite. But every movie I've seen him in, was great because he was in it.
I own both Galaxy Quest and Sense and Sensibility and watch both of them OFTEN.
"Truly, Madly, Deeply" - written & directed by the late Anthony Minghella. A BBC movie, bit hard to get in U.S.A.. Came out in limited release same time as "Ghost". It never gained traction in U.S.A. due to somewhat similar subject. I never bothered to watch Ghost, "Truly, Madly, Deeply" is my favorite movie of all time. Great on the big screen, great on DVD.
Alan is mesmerizing in it.
@@m.maclellan7147 I was lucky to have been able to watch it. Haven't seen it in years but yes, it was wonderful. Now I must see it again!
@@susanjohnson318 I have to add that in Sense and Sensibility, Alan Rickman was so extremely sexy! I kind of wanted to ship his character with Emma Thompson's....
Thank you for this video. Seeing people who share stories about Alan makes me feel like he's still alive. Especially with stories we never heard of. Thank you!
They say that you die twice. The first time when you actually die and the second time when nobody speaks of you ever again. So long as we have moments like this, he'll never truly be gone.
You´re welcome. The idea of creating this channel was to try to upload as many videos as possible so that no one would forget about him.
This is from the "Galaxy Quest Never Surrender" documentary. I highly recommend it. It is a marvelous love letter to this perfect film.
@@umachan9286 I have an Alan photo on my wall. He is always here.
@@umachan9286 Cicero said "Vita enim mortuorum in memoria est posita vivorum," the life of the dead lies in the memories of the livings.
Honestly I can't deal with all the vids addressing his death, I just want to live in my lil bubble where he's still alive in my heart.
The industry spoke highly of him, even before his passing. A giant.
Beside him did Severus Snape role, Alan Rickman was the one of the best actors who made it known to all of us since the 90s. He was an amazing & versatile actor. He will be sadly missed. His death was unexpected but we will never forget his sarcastic & deep voice & his works. Rest In Heaven Alan, always. ❤🙏🏾✌🏾
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
@Robert Williams
I'm good thanks!
@@tracyleesmith781 Good to hear that, what're you up to?
What a wonderful film and really multileveled. My favorite Rickman line from Galaxy Quest was, ‘Are we there yet?’ What a fun, fun movie!
I still love “MINERS! Not minors!” 😂
Oh man, watched Star Trek!
my kids were born in 86,and 88.. got a huge kick from Galazy Quest.
I adored Alan Rickman.
I knew him from Die Hard, Sense and Sensibilities.
And every Xmas we'd play Die Hard on big screen ...
Cuz it's just not Christmas until you see Hans Gruber falling off .
Too see him join the H.P. franchise was brillant.
His last movie,
Eye in the Sky was great.
Loved the idea of a Galazy Quest Part 2. Yet not without Alan.
👍💗
But why do you watch Die Hard on Xmas, Xmas was called off by the Sheriff of Nottingham 😁 I miss Alan so much 😭😭😭 My favorite Xmas movie is ...... Die Hard.
@@Munichmarty1
Right on!
Totally forgot that one!
Miss his face, gone way to soon. 👍❤
Such a marvelous, underrated movie. It's kind of a test for new friends: I make them watch it and if they don't find it equally hilarious and deeply moving, they don't become dear friends, but only remain acquaintances.
_Galaxy Quest_ represented the first time I laughed aloud in a theater since the original screenings of _Young Frankenstein_ and _Monty Python and the Holy Grail._ I’ve not done so since.
We better get out of here before somebody Kills guy!
I’ve never met someone who had seen it and not liked it.

What a wonderful actor, and from all that I've seen and read, human. The world is less bright without him.
Another Alan Rickman Fan...
I see all these actors and recognize where I saw them first--and then come to the realization that I also recognize them from the movie. Oh, this movie is so underrated, as are all the performances, Alan's especially.
Didn’t the words “Galaxy Quest” in the title give you some sort of CLUE where you saw them?
@@samiam619 That "realization" I mentioned is one of those things that's really hard to express or explain. It wasn't a lack of familiarity with the movie, as I've been familiar with it for some time. And, it's not a lack of familiarity with the actors, as I've been just as familiar with them as I have been with the movie. It's the connection between all those careers and all the work they've done and the way this one movie brings all of that together. It's like seeing the concept of 6 degrees of separation as a map, and on that map this one movie as a vast metropolis connecting all of those careers and all the work those actors have done. Yet, it seems that even this explanation doesn't adequately capture the feeling.
Alan Rickman's oath as Dr. Lazarus made me tear up. He's a great actor that will be terribly missed.
Galaxy Quest is a true great, brilliantly written with perfect casting, especially Alan. And yeah, when he finally delivers that line in the most honest serious fashion it was a real goosebumpy emotional moment.
Floods of tears after watching this. Alan is so missed❤Xx
He was such a great actor who created a great movie character. It is too bad he could not have lived long enough to do the series. He is missed.
He’s one of the main reasons I have seen “BOTTLE SHOCK” maybe 10 + times, and Quigley Down Under, after seeing him for the first time in “DIE HARD”, the year it came out. I’ve seen Galaxy Quest at least 10 times all or in part.
I hope you have seen Truly, Madly, Deeply. It's probably my favorite Rickman movie.
He did a tv show years and years ago. Barchester Chronicles. His Obadiah Slope was probably the first "Rickman" thing. He was wonderful.
Yes! Also Truly Madly Deeply, the first movie I saw him in, so good.
It's like Trollope wrote the character for him.
It was such an unexpected gem of a movie. It pays a reverential tribute to Star Trek and the fans so well, that to this day it is considered one of the best Star Trek movies, (without actually being S.T.), ever made.
I have to admit, just by searching for something else about Galaxy Quest I’m sitting here in tears. Not am I British and having watched Alan Rickman in many thing other than this movie his presence is missed in many of the movies I watch where I’m thinking, you know Alan Rickman would perfect this role, whether a bad guy or a good guy with a heart of gold, my thinking he personally was the latter.
As a die hard fan of Alan's for years (and still to do this day). When I found out about his death. I was devastated. I remember I was just getting up and my friend text me and told me he died. I couldn't handle it. I went back into bed and cried for hours. And I never even met the man. But his work, his movies got me through a lot of the pain and torment I went through with bullying in school. So he meant a lot to me. I even got picked on because of Alan. Because he was my favorite actor. But I still loved his acting. You could tell he put his heart and soul in every piece he did. If I was depressed or upset. I would pop in a movie of Alan's and feel better almost immediately. So god bless you, Alan Rickman. And RIP. Your forever missed. By your family, friends, fellow actors, and fans.
"die hard fan" I see what you did there
I felt every word of that. Powerful.
@@talkingraccoon525 Thank you! It was from the heart. He meant a lot to me.
His work speaks volumes about the man, he will be sadly missed by those who knew him as a man of great depth and versatility in acting.
He'll always be Hans Gruber! I really miss him. Such an endearing talent.....
I wish Gene could have seen this movie. When I saw it, I knew little of Alan's work, but I remember how impressed I was by what he brought to the part, and how well he worked with the rest of the cast. In the golden age, this was called "star quality."
"They're minors, not miners." That will never lose it's appeal.
Wait, I think he's saying it the other way around. "Miners, not minors."
I cry like a bitch at 7:05 everytime I watch GQ,his tone,delivery..everything is on point,perfection.
Alan Rickman was amazing. A couple of lesser-known movies that he did...and I totally love him in...was "Bottle Shock", and "Blow Dry".
"Bottle Shock" was fantastic. I haven't seen "Blow Dry" yet, but I'm willing to give anything Rickman did a shot.
@@gregoryeatroff8608 "Blow Dry" is really cute. A bit slow (it IS British, after all)...but great character development. The 'bad guy' is the actor that played "Victor" in "Underworld".
Have you ever seen "The January Man"? Came out in 1989. Small part but he owned it!!! Love that movie!
@@marycarroll9915 "Crickets. Aren't they great?"
"Blow Dry" is an absolute delight, if you can get past Josh Hartnett's absolutely pathetic attempt to do an English accent. But everything else about it is wonderful, definitely including Rickman, and also including Rachel Griffiths in a VERY different role from Brenda in "Six Feet Under."
I've been around a few years, nearly 50, and I've read of actors passing here and there, and while some have made me utter phrases like 'oh, that's a shame', never before did I feel a real, genuine gut-punch as the morning i read of Alan's passing. It knocked the wind from my sails and I had to take an early lunch to get get my shit together. I never even met the guy, but that really knocked me for six.
R.I.P. Alan...such excellent work...such a wonderful film.
I was lucky enough to see it when Galaxy Quest first came out...and by a miracle, I saw it on the evening after I'd left a Science Fiction Con in Boston. I was COMPLETELY Primed to get ALL of the jokes. It was a beautiful experience.
He died too young, usually an actor passing makes me shrug because eh, just a guy that plays a part. But Alan Rickman's death hit me really, really hard.
I’m scrolling through the comments and I’m glad I’m not the only one crying watching this 😭😭 seriously what a man he was ✨ you can see how deeply everyone loved him and miss him. My goodness even us that never actually met him! Alan we miss you dearly ❤️✨🥺
Alan Rickman was SO under rated... very tragic. So many appearances, so little time. That guy KILLED it! Respect has no boundries...
No, he was and still is very highly rated.
I never would have believed upon first viewing, that this would become one of my top five movies of all time, but it after rewatching it so many time, admittedly at first for fun...it is layered, meaningful and rich. I treasure it and reference it when explaining to people, you are always a role model, even when you don’t know someone is watching. This remembrance of Alan made me weepy!
Thank you for posting this. I cried, he was so wonderful. And I loved Galaxy Quest, it was an awesome film. I can't count how many times I have watched it.
The world became a dimmer, less richer in quality, place with Alan's passing.
On a lighter note: It is somewhat fitting that the first time I had ever heard of and then saw Galaxy Quest was at a Star Trek Convention in Glasgow, I think it was in 2001. There wasn't a seat free in the massive function suite they had made into a theatre. I loved it and as soon as I found it on sale on DVD, I bought it.
A great actor. Serious funny and a man. He made characters 'come alive'. I saw him in a film of an English Panto (live theatre), peter pan, and he was Captain Hook. the man was perfect. So many movies, so many roles and impeccably acted. But that panto performance showed how he could be serious and ridiculous at the same time. Excellent acting and the role I remember him most for.
Rickman as Hook would have been something I would've loved to see! What a privilege for you.
Lucky man
An Awfully Big Adventure?
Every time I watch Galaxy Quest again, it is inevitably to hear that one line, performed by Alan, with such gravitas and conviction.
That gorgeous voice..i miss him so much. 😔
I miss Alan Rickman,he was such a great actor. He was taken from us way too early. God bless him.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Such a wonderful actor, who will always be missed!! Great in all of his rolls, he should have had at least another 20 years to enchant us with his wonderful performances!
It still amazes me that his first movie role was in ‘Die Hard’. He owned that role and gave it his all. He was great in ‘Bottle Shock’, ‘Sense and Sensibility’, ‘’Robin Hood: ‘Prince of Thieves’ ( he stole that movie, as I rewatch it just to see him), ‘Love Actually’, ‘Quigley Down Under’, ‘Something The Lord Made’(should have gotten an Emmy), and of course: The Harry Potter movies. He was in others, I haven’t seen them all yet. I was so shocked by his death, it was as if he was a beloved family member!
Thanks for sharing this with all of us who will always mourn his passing.
You should check out CBGB the movie
I’m British and you’re not...love that line
Definitely make the time to see Truly, Madly, Deeply. You won't regret it.
I miss Alan. He had his own special wit and charisma. Bless you Alan!
Rickman never has to shout, or thrash his arms about, or throw the scenery around to show anger. His quiet droll delivery, dryer than the Mojave desert, cuts deep and precisely like a surgeons scalpel. I don't think there is any actor like him at all.
How many times have you turned the channel and Galaxy Quest was playing. No matter what part of the movie was playing, you stayed for the rest practically knowing each line that would follow and enjoyed it just as much.
I think it has reached a Rocky Horror kind of fame.
I knew Alan Rickman had a sense of humor. The fact that he was a serious actor is what made Galaxy Quest so funny.
Galaxy Quest…such a wonderful & underrated movie!!!
Galaxy Quest is one of my all time favorite movies, and Alan Rickman is one of my all time favorite actors. He IS missed and will continue to be missed. He was a truly exceptional actor, able to play both Good Guys and Bad Guys with equal awesomeness. My regret is that I never got to meet him in person.
"I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously" (Alan Rickman)
C&Pasted that and put it in my quote file. Nice.
One of my favorite movies. Smiles and a fist pump to the chest.
The truly great actors know how to leave a little bit of themselves in every character, so their audience can connect to a part of the real person who brings life to the character.
