    78 is so young. I feel like anything less than 80 is a travesty. Minimum should be 90 to a 100

    RIP.

    I loved Sam Neill. He was the quintessential American cowboy with his moustache and gravely voice. I can't believe he is dead.

    He had so many great movies
    Mouth of Madness was fantastic
    Event Horizon was underrated

    He was great in Mask, Tombstone, A Star is Born and Road House.

    I don't remember him in Event Horizon.

    I liked him in Peaky Blinders.
