Joss Ackland Top Ten

 In honour of his passing, and in full acknowledgement I've only seen a smattering of his work:

1) Lethal Weapon 2 - may as well get it over with, but what a great villain

2) White Mischief - marvellous work, touching, awful, spoilt, scary

3) The Hunt for Red October - another scary foreigner

4) Royal Flash - one of the best, if not the best, things in this film

5) Villain - small role, great film

6) Saint Jack - another terrific film and small role but he's very good in it

7) It Couldn't Happen Here - I'm putting this in because it's so gloriously odd

8) The Apple - ditto

9) No Good Deed - not a good film, but he's good in it

10) Crescendo - I'm sure he was in better roles, definitely better movies, but he adds gravitas as a creepy chauffeur
