I didn’t see the first movie until I was at a friend’s house and they had a bootleg copy of The Empire Strikes Back, in 1980, while it was still in theaters. Star Wars was also on that tape.

I didn’t see it in its entirety until a few years ago. It has not held up well IMHO.

Pass.

Understated role, but still, I think, one of his finest.

Saw this when it first came out and was disappointed that it wasn’t quite the screwball comedy it had been hyped as. I should re-visit and see what I think of it now.

The best part IMO is the medieval banquet scene: the chicken skin, the duel. The rest of the movie, not so much.

Still in play:
