- DIE HARD was the first film I saw Rickman in, and I was absolutely
- floored. The best villain I'd seen in a loooooong time. You need to
- check out DIE HARD if you like Rickman.
-
- He was also fun in THE JANUARY MAN (Kevin Kline, Mary Mastrantonio)
- even though he had a very backseat role, and was in top form in the
- Academy-Award-winning QUIGLEY DOWN UNDER (Tom Selleck, Laura San Giacomo).
