![]() You can’t tell me it’s not worth dyin’ for. RIP Alan.Īnd when you find me there you’ll search no more. Two heroes gone in four days, and both only 69 – Enough now. I will now, as well as enjoying David Bowie’s back catalogue this weekend, look out for some Alan Rickman films to watch. ![]() And, a piano intro again, which seems to be forming a pattern here. (Everything I Do) I Do It For You by Bryan Adams:Īnyway, I have now forgiven Bryan Adams for commandeering the 1991 chart and listening to the song again I have to concede that it is quite pleasing to the ear. All those fans of the film went mad for Wet Wet Wet’s version of Love Is All Around and we had yet another summer long monopolisation of the No. The same phenomenon happened three years later when Four Weddings and a Funeral was released. All those people who didn’t usually buy records, rushed out to acquire it after enjoying the film. We ended up getting quite cross with Mr Adams through no fault of his own. 1 in the UK and although it wouldn’t have done his bank balance any harm, for those of us who used to get quite excited about what topped the charts (sad I know), it ruined most of 1991. Poor old Bryan Adams – He still holds the record for the most weeks at No. Little did I think that the title track from the movie (Everything I Do) I Do It For You, would still be at the top of the UK Singles Chart in October, long after the suntans had faded. It was June, the start of summer, and we were already sporting glorious suntans. Thinking back to 1991, I remember going to see Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves with my boyfriend (now husband) after returning from an early summer holiday in Greece. Alan Rickman playing The Sheriff of Nottingham He has of course appeared in many, many films and theatre productions since, but most of us will remember him best as The Sheriff of Nottingham, Severus Snape in the Harry Potter movies and as Emma Thompson’s foolish husband in Love Actually. Alan Rickman on the other hand turned in an amazing dramatic and comedic performance totally outshining his fellow actors. Kevin Costner was at the peak of his career around this time and although the film was a great success, I thought he was a bit underwhelming in it (give me Errol Flynn’s Robin Hood any day). In Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, he definitely stole the show playing the villainous Sheriff of Nottingham. He seems to have been the kind of actor who never played the leading man but kept popping up in supporting roles and stole the show. He was familiar to me then, so he must have appeared on TV shows and films prior to that. Thought I’d first really noticed Alan Rickman in Truly, Madly, Deeply – A lovely little film with Julia Stevenson but it turns out that Die Hard came out first where he brilliantly played the villain Hans Gruber.
