WWTBAM Bored

Just watched Prisoner of Azkaban again...I don't know if there has ever been a better casting decision.

ditto, ditto, ditto.

No one could be a better Snape. No. One.

I agree, and I say that knowing that the best is probably yet to come. Snape's biggest moments in the entire series happen in Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows.

He is great whether as a villain Die Hard, Quigley Down Under, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, Rasputin Golden GLobe win light comedy Love Actually docudrama Something the Lord Made or Snape in Harry Potter

Alan Rickman played Broadway in Private Lives when I lived there.

OMG. Even more fabulous in person.

amen. he is awesome. I can't wait to see the next movies. he will have his finest moments. he was also in one of my favorite movies, Love Actually.

What's a snape? Is it like a snipe?

I posted this once before a long time ago, but must again in this thread.

Most have never heard of this movie, but it will blow your socks off. Rickman steals your heart in this very unusual tearjerking yet comedic love story.

PLEASE rent it - you won't be sorry. (and do not read about the plot - just enjoy it.)

Have seen it at least a half dozen times, and loved it each time.

It's called: TRULY, MADLY, DEEPLY

I posted a while back that the reason the Harry Potter books came along when they did was so that Rickman could play Snape. I couldn't find that post; musta been on the old Bored.

I dunno -- I love him so much as a villain, I dunno if I can stand seeing him in a romantic role.

He plays somewhat cantankerous, so you'll still love him in it.

The Emma Thompson version of Sense and Sensibility casts him as Colonel Brandon.

Pretty well done

Now that, I think I can handle. I wouldn't recognize him as Snape.

Probably. I guess I can't imagine hating him in a role. I voted him the best villain ever after I saw Quigley, and someone who's that good can probably play anything. Sorta like Donald Sutherland.

I better not, I'm more than half in love with him already.

Of course, the role for which he should have won an Oscar was Galaxy Quest.

With lines like this I think you're right:

Sir Alexander Dane: Quellek... by Grabthar's hammer... by the Sons of Warvan... you shall be... avenged.

Since you said don't read the plot, I won't explain/spoil any further than asking if this is the one with Juliet Stevenson? If so, I agree GREAT MOVIE!

It probably battles for second with Die Hard as my favourite Rickman (after Dogma).

Yes! That's the one. Any Rickman fan should see it. Would you consider it a chick-flick? I think it's an everyone-flick.

1. Snape.
2. Quigley
3. Die Hard

I've never seen Dogma, dint know he was in it.

DId you know that Rickman was not the first choice to play Snape in the Potter movie he got the role when

Spoiler

Tim Roth currently playing Dr Lightman on Fox's Lie to Me

backed out.

Rickman was JKR's first choice, so that's all right.

Roth woulda been like Michael Gambon as Dumbledore. He's OK, but he's not perfect like Harris was. Kinda tough to play somebody after you've died, of course.

I don't like chick flicks, so I wouldn't consider it as such. However, some people's definitions vary. I like a nice tearjerking sobfest just as much (if not more) than the next person, but I don't generally like romantic comedies and those are what I call 'chick flicks'.
