Re: RIP Richard Rush
OK, earlier today, I watched the embedded video of a movie I had never heard of "The Stuntman."
Now, a clip from The Stuntman is at the top row of my Youtube feed.
either
1) Google/Youtube is that good and knows that I watched a Richard Rush/Stuntman thing here
Or
2) It is at the top of my Youtube feed because of his recent death

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: RIP Richard Rush
Whenever a celebrity dies, clips about that celebrity are popular in YouTube searches. Since Rush is really only known for one movie, it follows that clips about the Stunt Man would be at the top of the list.
BTW, Freebie and the Bean is an excellent mismatched cop buddy film with James Caan and Alan Arkin. I'd rank it in the top three of that subgenre, along with 48 Hours and Midnight Run (neither of which is technically a "cop" buddy film).
