Alan Rickman passed away today.
Hans Gruber is perhaps my favorite villain of all-time. There's so many great quotes in that movie.
He was also in Harry Potter, but I've never watched any from the series. Looks like kid's stuff.
"Oh yes, what was it you said to me before? Yippee-ki-ay motherfucker"
"Now I have a machine gun...
Ho...Ho...Ho...."
He was great in Dogma (as the voice of God) and as Marvin the depressed computer in Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy.

I've seen Die Hard at least 100 times.
I agree, he was a great villain, but my current favorite movie bad guy is Marton Csokas, which played the Russian in "The Equalizer" with Denzel Washington.
Sad. I didn't realize he was almost 70 nor did I know he was sick.
