Michael Cimino RIP (1939 - 2016)

[ace5150]

Some of my favourite films in Thunderbolt & Lightfoot, Year of the Dragon (Mickey Rourke) and of course, Deer Hunter.
Didn't direct THAT much, but left a legacy to be admired.
Wrote the screenplay to Magnum Force as well, easily the best Dirty Harry film.

Really sad to here this. 'The Deer Hunter' is an absolute classic.

RIP

Yes this is more rubbish news. The Deer Hunter was an excellent film. I liked Heaven's Gate as well, even though it gets slated.

[Portland Road]

A central figure for some cult films that typified their period.

RIP Michael Cimino.
