To me the 2 movies that defined him was the remake of Invasion of The Body Snatchers (that scene on the end still hunts me) and The Eye OF the Needle, where he interprets a German Spy called Fabber that discovery about Operation Double Cross and tries to reach a german U-Boat with the info.
- gumby 2y agoEye of the needle was one of those rare twofers: a very good book and a very good movie.
- RJSquirel 2y agoLooks like the movie is free on amazon prime right now.
- major505 2y agoTrue. This was the first book I ever read in english. Had to carry a pocket dictionary with it, but well worth the time.
- major505 2y agoI watched this as a kid in the 90's. I still think about he scene with the axe.
- KineticLensman 2y agoYep, that final scene is soul-searing
- itronitron 2y agoHis voice is I think one of the most distinctive in movies. If you like being haunted by scenes from slow-burn horror movies then I can recommend The Broken (2008) with Lena Headey.
- metabagel 2y agoThat 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a classic. Well worth watching.
- monero-xmr 2y agoHighly recommend! I’m a huge horror fan and this is a solid flick
- erickhill 2y agoYou get to see Leonard Nimoy in a whole new way, too.
- geuis 2y agoI finally watched this within the last year. Blew me away. Although the movie came out only a couple of years before I was born, it feels so much like a "modern" movie. I think Invasion is an example of a big change in how movies were being made that started in at least the late 70's that became more or less how lots of movies were made since the 80's. Its right up there with Alien in my mind. Honestly it reminded me of back in school when I first read something by Mark Twain. I could never get interested in any of the period books and such that were required reading, but the first time I read something by Twain it was immediately compelling. Even though his works were nearly 150 years old at the time, the way he wrote in much more simple and direct text is more or less how most fiction has become since then. It made it so much more accessible to a young person than the overly flowery language of the time period.
