Kevin M. Kruse: RIP Donald Sutherland, who gave us so many great performances, including a WWII tank commander/beatnik.

Kelly's Heroes is a solid movie.

Top 10 for me.

It is. Inspired we boys built our own Sherman out of card board scraps.

My kid brother and I quote that movie on a regular basis.

Less than the sum of its parts, but there are some great parts, especially Sutherland's.

Oh, no. Dammit.

Oh, this is too bad.

Of all the roles to pick for this you picked my favorite.

The character makes absolutely no sense on paper but he makes it work brilliantly on the screen.

He MADE that movie. He elevated it to art.

He was great in Kate Bush’s “Cloudbusting” music video, too. youtu.be/pllRW9wETzw?...

Kate Bush - Cloudbusting - Official Music Videoyoutu.be Official music video for the single "Cloudbusting" written, produced and performed by the British singer Kate Bush. It was the second single released from her no.1 1985 album Hounds of Love. "Cloudbusting" peaked at no.20 in the UK Singles Chart. The music video, directed by Julian Doyle, was conceived by Terry Gilliam and Kate Bush. The video features Canadian actor Donald Sutherland playing the role of Wilhelm Reich, and Bush playing the part of his young son, Peter.

"Always with the negative waves, Moriarty" -- my dad still quotes this line all the time

God I love that movie. Extra points for the Burning Bridges pop-lite song performed by a guy who later became a GOP California politician.

Btw the scene composition in that shot is simply perfect

🙏❤️ one of my all time favorites

And, as Detective John Klute.

Nobody could give you such a "I am certifiably insane"* look as Mr. Sutherland could. His eyes were practically made to do movies with. *With the optional side of "and I love it" when needed.

No one like him. If he was cast in something, it was well worth seeing. I fell for him the first time I saw Body Snatchers. RIP.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I feel a Sutherland movie binge watching coming on.

ALWAYS WITH THE NEGATIVE WAVES!

💔

Hands down, my favorite movie. A great loss.

Negative waves, man!

Not to mention survivor of Armageddon.

This just gave me some negative waves.

Legendary MASH and Hunger Games actor Donald Sutherland dies at 88www.standard.co.uk Legendary Hollywood actor Donald Sutherland, whose career stretched from the 1970s to the 2020s, has died at the age of 88.

He was great in everything, but Oddball was definitely my favorite role. He was brilliant.

💔😔

A national treasure💔 Oh boy, this one hurts.

aww man that stinks

I love how absurd / anachronistic this performance was. RIP

Ahh crud.

Negative waves!

Positive waves, Donald.

💔💔💔

ALWAYS WITH THE NEGATIVE WAVES!

Oh, man

"The Disappearance" still haunts me

Saw this in the theater at initial release and his Oddball character broke the WWII hero mold.

"tree tigers" lives in my head rent free (note: it's actually 3 tigers but his pronunciation is the best part)
