Two of the movies I also remember him outside of those already mentioned are North Sea Hijack and The Wild Geese.

I'm one of the few who actually preferred him over Connery as James Bond.

Not very sad about this news, to be honest.
While I didn't see many movies with him, I always really liked him, he seemed like a very OK guy altogether, really.
But with 89, it really is OK to go.
I only hope he didn't suffer too much from this vicious disease, and that those left behind can find solace in the fact that he was with them for some time.

I liked him in pretty much everything he did, but I especially liked his performance in the movie "ffolks"

An antisocial curmudgeon who likes cats over people, what's not to like?

RiP Sir Roger, another great one bites the dust.

It took me a long time to accept any one other than Connery in the role, but over the years I have watched Moore's Bonds many time and have learned to appreciate them. My favorite was "For your eyes only".

RIP


Up until this movie my Aryan looking G.I. Joes had taken the brunt of the damage, I'm afraid my African American G.I. Joe was in for it for awhile after seeing The Wild Geese.
