The Alan Rickman cult is still going strong, but what do you expect after a resume that includes _Die Hard_, _Quigly Down Under_, _Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves_, _Galaxy Quest_ and every Harry Potter movie? ---

Coincidentally, friends and I just had an Alan Rickman fest on Saturday night, featuring excerpts from every film **garygnu** listed, plus _Sense and Sensibility_, _Truly, Madly, Deeply_, _Blow Dry_, and the _Barchester Chronicles_. There was however, very little naughty about it. ---

[QUOTE=Little Bird] In a naughty way? [Alan Rickman](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7A_bJFZNXE) You’ll thank me later. [/QUOTE] His play "My Name is Rachel Corrie " is in NY currently. WQXR keeps running the ads with his voice and I find it difficult not to drive off the road when I hear him speak 😃 VCNJ~ ---

Don’t forget _Dogma_. Talk about temptation!!! My favorite scene though is still watching him and Richard Branaugh duelling in one of the Harry Potter films. For favorite performance, I’d give the edge to _Sense and Sensibility_. ---

Ooooh…I didn’t get the Rickman lust until _Sense and Sensibility_. Then I fell-hard. Marianne was so blind. ---

> [@Siege](#): > > My favorite scene though is still watching him and Richard Branaugh duelling in one of the Harry Potter films. As an avid fan of both of them I must point out that it is **Kenneth** Branaugh. While I have not had a chance to check out the linked video yet (as I am at work at the moment), I can say that Alan Rickman has long held a high place on my list of man crushes. ---

[QUOTE=Alistair McCello] As an avid fan of both of them I must point out that it is **Kenneth** Branaugh. [/QUOTE] And as a pain in the ass of the highest order, I have to point out that it’s Kenneth **Branagh**. 😃 And I thought my roommate and I might be the only people who were aware _Blow Dry_ existed. That’s why I love the Dope. ---

Well, I don’t love him in the way you all do, but that scene with him and Rowan Atkinson in **Love, Actually** is really funny. Also very funny as the sad robot in Hitchhiker’s Guide. ---

Love Rickman, hate the song. Woman, how in hell can you even recall the existance your ex when curled up next to the RickMan, let alone sing to him for nearly 4 minutes, even in a neener-neener way? Alan, she’s not worthy of you! Pick Me! Pick me! ---
