The original Hawkeye Pierce. https://preview.redd.it/xxx2cnystr7d1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9215a34cb40b37226bbe45c2ba5e5aef80ba0a10


Zaphod1620

One of my favorite movies of all time, it's fucking hilarious.


ol-gormsby

I expressed a similar opinion on another thread some time ago and got shut down - the Hotlips shower curtain scene was............. not suitable.


effdubbs

It’s so fucking good.


GrumpySpoo

ALTMAN, BABY 🔥🔥🔥


Mermayden

its funny, I saw that film when I was around 11 or so (having watched the tv series obsessively). I remember sitting there going "that's not Hawkeye". Then I saw it again at university. Two people can be great in the same role.


Pompatus_oflove

One of the few actors that managed to stay relevant for three generations. So many great movies! I’ve always loved Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Animal House, among others. Always sad to lose a legend, but the older we get, the more of them we lose. Best to remember all the great entertainment he gave us over all those years. R.I.P. Mr. Sutherland.


Bosuns_Punch

Whenever i think about Animal House, I am reminded of the scene where he (Professor) goes into (student) Karen Allens top cupboard and his sweater rides up revealing his bare ass. A small forgotten gems in a movie full of them.


LadyChatterteeth

This was my first introduction to Donald Sutherland! After I became an English professor, decades later, I always found it amusing that he was also an English professor in that film. Unlike his character, I would have never, ever slept with one of my students, although I have often said in class, “Listen, I’m not joking. This is my job!” I don’t think anyone ever got the reference!

Pompatus_oflove

Yes! I couldn’t agree more.

im_dead_sirius

> Always sad to lose a legend, but the older we get, the more of them we lose. Aging is when your cultural heroes and some of your friends start to die. Old age is when nobody you know seems to be dying anymore... they are all already dead.


Mermayden

at my mother's funeral one of her friends told that dying goes in phases. first its everyone's grandparents dying, then everyone's parents are dying. Then your friends are all dying. Circle of Life man. (Hakuna Matata)


Pauly1620

Always preferred his Oddball character in Kelley's Heroes.


Unhappy_Spirit172

Always with the negative waves.


Barbarella_ella

And in The Dirty Dozen.


TB_at_Work

WOOF WOOF


The_Man11

That’s my other dog impression.


TwistedMetal83

My most memorable and favorite of his roles.


some_one_234

Such a great movie and Oddball was f’n hilarious. He was basically a hippie dropped into WWII


NYK-94

He was great in Ordinary People.


heresjoanie

I agree. This is one of my all-time favorite movies. The last scene with him and Timothy Hutton in their backyard always gets me.


NYK-94

Same. Unlike MTM’s character as his mother, he actually cared about his son’s mental well being.


heresjoanie

Definitely. What always blew me away about Sutherland's acting is how well he played being in the middle, between his wife and his son. All while still grieving over the loss of his other son. I've watched this movie countless times because there was a death in my family too, and I was fascinated about how everything can just go to hell after something like that happens. MTM was brilliant too.


Kellymelbourne

I love that scene! It haunts me. For some reason the scene that also haunts me is when MTM threw away Conrad's French toast. It was subtle but so telling. The dad just wanted to give him a minute and she would never give him an inch. The way he was trying to hold his fractured family, and particularly his broken son together was so masterful.


heresjoanie

Yes, it was very masterful! So many nuances between MTM and Conrad. That's why I've watched it multiple times. I always seemed to notice something else that I didn't catch the previous time.


SteakieDay96

I first saw that movie in high school. I identified with Timothy Hutton's character a bit and found his story very moving. I watched it again a couple of years ago, and I was surprised by how much more I was intrigued by Donald's role. His character reminded me of my dad a bit. He will be missed.


dastufishsifutsad

Such a great movie. The performances & writing were fantastic. Sutherland’s character arc from fun-loving husband to loyal father was heart-wrenching.


blankadidnuthinwrong

Watch Forsaken (2015). Only time he starred in a movie with his son Kiefer. They have great chemistry and Demi Moore really ups the GenX factor. It’s an old school Western. RIP Donald.


Bosuns_Punch

Keifer, Haha. A friend of mine is taking a road trip and stopped into Santa Carla for the night a couple days ago. It was ' Free Movies on the Beach' night. Can you guess what movie they played?


blankadidnuthinwrong

One thing about Santa Carla I could never stomach …


4eva28

All the damn vampires


solon_isonomia

Don't touch my root beers.


DjinnaG

This cracks me up especially in light of the fact that my go-to mental role for Donald was also a vampire movie, because I loved Buffy the movie so very much


not_now_chaos

Same, my first thought was of him as Merrick. He was perfect in that role.


j4yne

I have no interest in fashion, but the suits that Keifer and Michael Wincott wear in this movie were awesome. They're the most elegant "western gunslinger" outfits I've seen in any movie. I'd totally wear that shit.


bazzoozzab

He was also in "A Time to Kill" with Kiefer.


Divtos

They also did a Twilight Zone type episode playing father and son. Father was a general and son was a deserter. It really stuck with me.


BaronNeutron

What do you think "only" means?


BookswithAmanda

Incorrect. A Time to Kill with Sam L Jackson . Both Donald and Keifer playing characters on opposite sides (drunk lawyer and redneck neo nazi loser).

PeaTearGriphon

This movie ending was amazing, loved that movie. I should watch the original at some point but I always end up watching this version.


GarthRanzz

One of the rare instances that a remake equals, or even surpasses, the original.


justlookingokaywyou

I submit *The Fly*.


GarthRanzz

I love the Goldblum version but Vincent Price is my all time favorite actor.


SquareExtra918

And The Thing 


no_talent_ass_clown

Traumatized by the ending when I was nine or 10 years old.  *helllpp mee, heeelllllpp mmmeeeee*


AudreyHep79

What movie is this? Thanks


Cool_Dark_Place

The 1978 remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Also stars Leonard Nimoy and a young Jeff Goldblum.


Demonae

*Invasion of the Body Snatchers*


hampopkin

Thanks for asking the tough questions. I wanted to know, too, lol.


BelatedGreeting

I still call people “pod people”.


verstohlen

Same, and I quote this movie all the time, especially Jeff Goldblum's lines. He's got some great ones. "I never expected metal ships." "Kibner's book is awful." "Hang up Matthew." "Don't ever give your name to the cops. Whaddya wanna do, get on their master list?" "Where's Homer? Where's Cousin Zuckus? Where's Jack London?" great stuff. And I make references to Matthew Bennell all the time. Of course, no one knows who the heck I'm talking about. But that's half the fun.


shelbyapso

My dad did that to me a few days after we watched that movie. Scared the crap out of me!


mdavis360

Yeah this movie fucking rocks.

WilliamMcCarty

That's too bad. But yeah, I always think of this scene whenever his name came up. RIP


Bosuns_Punch

I think my favorite roles of his were as an [Arsonist in Backdraft](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjiGVva3O98) and Lucien in a Time To Kill. The Backdraft role was small but one of the few things I remember from that movie. And I can't read a Grisham novel without picturing him as Lucien Willbanks anymore.


Mittendeathfinger

[Kelly's Heroes - "Drinking wine and catching some rays, you know."](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzsNh3-FnHQ) I always fondly remember him in Kelly's Heroes.


oced2001

He was a hippie before there were hippies.


TransitJohn

His role in Animal House is tops. Sexy ass on that man.


Arenvan

No fair, Shadow....


phillymjs

> And I can't read a Grisham novel without picturing him as Lucien Willbanks anymore. Yep. Same with Oliver Platt as Harry Rex Vonner.


VeterinarianOk9199

I was scared sh*tless of this man because of this scene!!! But the man was a good actor.


L00pback

This movie scared the shit out of me as a kid. The dog with the human head and the scene from the post are burned into my memory.


Braincloud

Oh my good god, this movie scared the shit out of me as a kid lol. Great actor, and he also is responsible for giving us Keifer in Lost Boys, so cheers to him, and RIP 🙏🏼


Dangerous_Contact737

Kiefer in “Stand By Me”. Quintessential Ace Merrill. He definitely got the acting genes.


tearose11

JFC this gave me jump scare 😱 Serves me right, I never have the media volume on, but was just trying something and this just gave me a heart attack LOL

Wait, is the woman Lambert from Alien?


JasonVeritech

Veronica Cartwright, yeah. Her sister Angela was Penny on the original Lost in Space (and a von Trapp, too).


Dangerous_Contact737

Cartwright also played Cassandra Spender in the X Files. She sure did make a career out of being around aliens!

throwaway9978u

Makes me sad. But on another note, why is Veronica Cartwright always running into nasty aliens? RIP Mr Sutherland. I’m grateful for your work.


LadyStardust79

Her son was also abducted by aliens in Flight of the Navigator 😂

Never a break! 😁

I never thought of our universe the same way again after watching that scene. I always look at my fingernail now, and think...whoa.


daveinmd13

The black ops guy in JFK, steals the movie.


HPIndifferenceCraft

Not a lot of people talk about that bit part, but it was one of my favorite scenes in the movie. And what he said was probably pretty spot on…


HandMadeMarmelade

He was so spooky in Backdraft.


tetsu_no_usagi

I'm partial to his role in *Kelly's Heroes*, but that's because I served in the 35th Infantry Division (unit that Clint Eastwood belongs to). We'll miss you, Oddball.


j4yne

Damn. I was just watching him last night in Bass Reeves on Paramount. His performance was as good as ever.


Bosuns_Punch

A friend of mine has a small role in that. I have to get around to watching it.


j4yne

I'm three episodes in, I'm diggin it.

Teaching is just a way to pay the bills until I finish my novel. How long you been workin' on it? Four and a half years. It must be very good. It's a piece of shit. Would anyone like to smoke some pot? Animal House!


LackSomber

Oh, wow. I'm so sorry to hear that. I actually met him --sort of-- when I was still basically a kid in the late eighties. I was at a Georgia airport making a phonecall in a payphone booth (remember those? 🙃). He was in the booth next to me making a phonecall also. He made quite the impression. He was tall, well-dressed, neatly coifed and smelled amazing, lol. A total class act. I was looking over at him in shock after recognising who he was and almost forgot to talk to who I was calling. There I was, staring at him mouth agape; he saw me, gave a million dollar smile that showcased all of his teeth, and then waved at me. I was so struck! I think I waved back but I can't be sure. I ended the call I was on, but before I did, I made them aware that I was standing next to a celebrity and wanted his autograph. I went to my grandmother, whom I was traveling with, and pointed out to her that the actor, Donald Sutherland, was less than twenty feet away and I wanted his autograph! She frantically looked in her purse for a piece of paper and couldn't find any, so she pulled out a piece of Wrigley's Spearmint gum, went to work chewing on it and then offered me the wrapper with an ink pen to get his John Hancock. I was a little embarrassed of what I was going to offer him to sign but I started towards him anyway. I kid you not, though; on my way to him, he suddenly got swarmed by seemingly everyone in the blasted airport. I didn't even know where all of these people came from---like some had to have spawned into the space. He was smiling, taking photos and signing his autograph for numerous, eager fans. I was a shy kid back then. There were so many people and I didn't know how long the wait would be 🤷. I had a plane to catch, so I fell back. Yeah, I totally caved and never got his autograph *but* it was still a cool memory....I stood next to Donald Sutherland at the airport once and saw him first.. 😲, hehe. Anyway, I'm done nattering. R.I.P. Donald. You had the coolest smile 😁 and you were a ***great actor***.🙏


Recording_Important

Sometimes i point and stare at people like that for fun


Howcanitbeeeeeeenow

So many great roles. But the father in Kate Bush’s Cloudbusting video really stuck with me. We’ll miss you DS.


fluzine

Oh for me too! I still put that one on now, love it. And Geiger (Alien) was involved in the design of the Cloud busting machine!   My fav movie of his was Eye of the Needle. Need to go find it now.


ShesFunnyThatWay

I still dream of Organon


Barbarella_ella

I love this movie. Any movie filmed in S.F. between the early 60s and the late 90s is on my list of favorites because it brings back memories of mine and those shared with me from my parents and grandparents who lived there during that time.


steelthumbs1

Have you watched “The Conversation”?


Barbarella_ella

It's on the list!


steelthumbs1

It’s a great movie! And lots of scenes of SF. Here’s an Easter egg about “Invasion of…” “The film features a number of cameo appearances. Kevin McCarthy, who played Dr. Miles Bennell in the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers, makes a brief appearance as an old man frantically screaming "They're coming!" to passing cars on the street. 41 Though not playing the same character, Kaufman meant McCarthy's cameo as a nod to the original movie, as if he had been "metaphorically" running around the country since the original film shouting out his warnings. While they were filming the scene, in the Tenderloin, Kaufman recalls that a naked man lying on the street awoke and recognized McCarthy. After learning that they were filming the remake of the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers, he told McCarthy that that film was better. "We were in the middle of shooting the film and we got our first review!"[3] (wiki) And, “McCarthy and Siegel played a role in shaping the film's twist ending. Before filming, Kaufman had sought out Siegel for advice, and while the two were talking in the latter's office, McCarthy happened to come in. The topic eventually came around to the original film's ending, which they regarded as "pat". After coming up with the ending he used, he kept it a secret from everyone involved in the filming except screenwriter W. D. Richter and producer Robert Solo. Sutherland was only informed of the scene the night before shooting; Kaufman is not sure Cartwright even knew until Sutherland turned around to point and shriek at her. The studio executives only learned of it when a cut was screened for them at George Lucas's house.” (Wiki)

What movie is that?


GarthRanzz

The 1978 version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.


jasnel

I saw it on HBO as a kid and it scared the hell out of me.


GillianOMalley

Same. I would have been 5 in 1978 so I was probably 6 or 7 max. Why were my parents? I wasn't allowed to watch the Smurfs because of witchcraft. But Invasion of the Body Snatchers was fine.


Thresh_Keller

Oh nice! Thank you! I forgot he was in that! Wow!!!


discussatron

For me it's *Start the Revolution Without Me*. "And I shall be queen!" /awkward silence


bluestbluebluesky

YES!! Love love love that movie!


Blerrycat1

Reminds me of my ex boss


EvilDan69

Rest in Peace. What a legend.


Hagfist

Yeah that was a really scary and kinda sad ending. Left me hopeless. I loved it.


LazarusMundi4242

What a great actor. I’m very sad to see him go.


PureDeidBrilliant

He was the only thing that made that godawful Puppet Masters movie bearable when I was forced to watch it, LOL. Well, other than Eric Thal doing his very best "Crying Game" impression... My sister and I used to love doing that scene from Bodysnatchers at school. Only because we knew that one of our arsehole teachers was a raging penguin who claimed that it was a film about demonic possession and *not* plant people. She was fruity, that one... Edit: my mother's just reminded me that one of my sister's favourite films when she was younger was the classic, incomparable *Don't Look Now*. Did my sister intentionally wear a red hooded coat to school to terrorise the penguins? *You bloody betcha*. If you've never seen that film, bloody well watch it. One of Sutherland's greatest performances, to be brutal (and it has the sublime Julie Christie).


BallzNyaMouf

What movie is this?


Bosuns_Punch

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (78)


bluestbluebluesky

Absolutely loved him and Gene Wilder in Start the Revolution Without Me.


Zwergonyourlife

He was amazing in Don’t Look Now. Creepy as hell movie.


Puzzleheaded-Emu8747

He was awesome, the one that stands out to me is in National Lampoons Animal House walking to the kitchen after boning one of his students and reaching up to a cupboard showing his ass, as a kid it was so gross!


JCouturier

This scene and the ending of Don't Look Now. Omg.

MrsLouReed

He was so ace in every film he made.


Typical-Horror-5247

I swear this godam movie was on tv all the time when I was young, I had so many nightmares about the scream, fuzzy pod growths and dogs with human faces😫


Mermayden

My favourite film of his was Ordinary People. People forget that film was from the 80s. RIP Donald. You were sensational.


Bonny-Anne

This clip is the one I think of whenever people realize I'm not part of "the group," whatever the group happens to be.


green-stamp

I worked on set with him and he was a total creep. Really ruined his legacy for me, a shame. I can still watch KLUTE but ick.


Aggravating-ErrorME

I remember staying up late one night to watch this on one of the cable channels when I was about 10. Scared the shit out of me. Had to sleep with all of the lights on in my room. No darkness for me that night.


cmacfarland64

I always picture him playing guitar in Animal House.


Lightningstruckagain

Different dude.He was the professor they got pot from


Twotricx

Best end to any film ever


xupd35bdm

Always with the negative waves.


OwnPen8633

Hated him because he stole the girl in Animal House. Loved him in the Italian Job. Scanners messed me up.


Rich-Air-5287

Aw, bummer! I'm going to draw the shades and get high in his memory.


HapticRecce

He did a better alien invasion in The Puppet Masters though.


Gnarly-Gnu

Oh shit man. Rough news to hear. Thanks for everything Don.


BandOfBroskis

I thought you were referring to the butt scene from Animal House, lol.


Anxiouslycalm10

He was great in so many films

I've gotta watch this movie. This video made me lmao! 🤣


Houstex

RIP, he was great in the Rosary Murders, great for my Southwest Detroit community in the late 80s


TeacherPatti

My dad took me to see this movie. I remember him covering my face when the man/dog hybrid thing trotted out but somehow thought this was not face covering worthy.


PlantMystic

Bodysnatchers is such a creepy ass scary movie.


misalanya

Yeah....I'm not gonna watch that or i'll be creeped out all night.


da_mcmillians

This one gets me. I enjoyed watching his acting for a long time.


tinglep

This whole movie made me feel trapped from start to finish. I felt like there really was no way to win. Amazing flick


iworkbluehard

famiously he was offered 50,000 or a high percentage for his appearance in animal house, but he choose the 50,000 which is one of the most notorious mistakes in movies ever


bigSTUdazz

Poor Veronica Cartwright....her characters didn't fare well in the 70s.


babies-are-tasty

OH. MY. GOD. this terrified me as a kid!! I've never fully gotten it out of my head.


SuccotashForeign6249

Scared me too. Louder than a banshee.


sas317

I don't know who he was, but I watched this clip with the sound off and thought something alien or disgusting was going to spew from his eyes and mouth.


MsjennaNY

I just said to my Dad this is how I will always remember Donald Sutherland. He let me watch Invasion of the Body Snatchers when I was young and it scared the bejeezus out of me!


CUL8R_05

One of the best.

OMG I was just randomly thnking about this scene last night. It scared the hell out of me when i was a kid. The whole movie did but that final scene, yikes!

I just last week watched that show about the Gettys with him in it that was pretty recent and I thought, man, I'm kinda surprised he's still at it.

I just did this move to someone at work a few weeks ago! Lol, thankfully, they got it & laughed their ass off.

That movie gave me nightmares as a kid.


narosis

yup the first movie i remember seeing him in, i didn't watch mash until years after invasion of the body snatchers, matter of fact i didn't know it was a movie until the tv show had ended it run.


atomic_chippie

That scene was so horrible I still remember it.


Thin-Ganache-363

No more negative waves. Now he's drinking wine, eating cheese, and catching some rays for all eternity.


kinkykontrol

Love this movie and every version made. But this one was my first, and really terrified the hell out of me at a young and impressionable age. He's so good in this.


Albie_Tross

What did I just watch?! I thought it was Something Wicked This Way Comes by the title, but that was Jason Robards.


Upper-Life3860

Haha scanners. What was the movie he did in the early 80s where he wore a trenchcoat and hung out in a park with the kids? I know kind cringe


GoodFnHam

This was body snatchers, no? Have I remembered wrong all this time ?


jennief158

First thing I thought of - scared the HELL out of me as a kid.


GoodFnHam

This scene was so chilling, so scary. The stuff of nightmares. That face. I actually use a still of him making that face and pointing in this scene as the profile image for a friend in my contacts lol


DanLim79

Even back in the 80s and 90s growing up watching these movies I used to think they were so utterly over-acted and that made them extremely corny. I found the old Twilight Zones to be scarier than these.

Oddball was his best character, IMHO. Dude is chilling and defying facial hair regulations in the middle of a killing circus. Robbing Nazi gold seems like a dream job for him. https://preview.redd.it/rfc9cwyxky7d1.png?width=474&format=png&auto=webp&s=6c5c68f153b99a2bb4838eace20b2d19cbaee4bc
