I remember him in a James Bond movie and I know he was in The Exorcist.
Flash Gordon was memorable for Brian Blessed though. :)
I enjoyed The Tudors but don’t remember him in that series.

Toss up for me between the 7th Seal and 3 Days of the Condor.

The 7th Seal.

Like his role in The Exorcist the best. Followed closely by The Magician. He was good as an assassin in Three Days of the Condor.

Definitely Three Days of the Condor
Love that film & he oozes menace.

Although it was a fucking terrible movie, he was great in Flash Gordon.
Was a lot like having Michael Jordan at his peak play in the minor junior leagues.
A class apart!

@ucme Brian Blessed is the real reason to watch that movie

@lucillelucillelucille Sit down & shut up woman, his voice makes me want to crush a melon!

@ucme -Why? still standing

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille Because he grates on my nerves, with his booming voice & overacting!
yeah yeah yeah…

@ucme -I just watched an interview and he is the same way off screen.HS!

@lucillelucillelucille I know, he climbed Everest a few years ago which is admirable for his age but I’m surprised his bellowing celebration didn’t cause an avalanche.

lucillelucillelucille's avatar

@ucme-I’m surprised by that as he does not look to be in the best shape.
He does have a certain intensity.

ucme's avatar

@lucillelucillelucille Intense is the word, he certainly projects himself well, not a shy boy!

The Seventh Seal.
In my early Fluther days, the image of Death on the beach was my icon.
