A Giant has Fallen

Ladies and gentlemen, and even those of you who cannot be called by these titles, I come to you with sad tidings, indeed. A titan of the screen, a man who has given you laughter, drama, pistol wielding steel-eyed cowboys, and wild-maned sword-spinning barbarians, has passed into the great beyond without so much as the closing credits rolling.

Personally, I thank the man for Conan the Barbarian, but you may find your personal favorite below.

Thank you Mighty for letting us know, glad to see your still around!

I have enjoyed many of these movies and i am sure a giant such as Don will be missed!

Army of Darkness is considered a cult classic much like Little Shop of Horrors and Blade Runner.

Battle of the Bulge, Serpico, King Kong, and Three Days Of The Condor are great classics.

I have enjoyed many of his 70's, 80's, and all of his 2000+ movies. I am sure everyone will find on your list a lot of thier favorites too.

I also loved the Conan series.
