Dennis Hopper, RIP

A legend is gone.

My favorite Hopper scene ever (from Hoosiers)here. Hopper discusses his performance here. The NY Times's AO Scott discusses the film here.

My favorite Hopper scene (other than "Pabst", of course) from Blue Velvet.

Both of those films came out in 1986. Not a bad year for DH.

Lots of great stuff in Apocalypse Now, too. In his top 3 for me with Hoosiers and Blue Velvet.

'93-94 wasn't too bad for Hopper either with Red Rock West, True Romance, and Speed. Rebel Without a Cause and River's Edge are pretty good. Easy Rider is overrated but he has some hilarious campy moments.

Always loved and remembered this commercial when the Cowboys were winning Super Bowls:
