Blade Runner has to be his all-time classic, I was more in a mood for a cheesy effort though Great shout with Blind Fury, wish they made 'em like that still! In fact, that's getting watched again tonight...

It's a damn shame he sank so fast, he can do manic/psycho just as good as Nicholson etc, and no one can match that charisma - we always root for him even when he's a complete nut job mentalist (and he usually is).
