death tribble Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 He was in several films that were what you would call blockbusters and others that were what you call worthy. He played Jesus in The Greatest Story Ever Told, an assassin in Three Days of the Condor, a priest in The Exorcist and was in Dune, Conan, Never Say Never Again, Hannah and her Sisters, Judge Dredd, Minority Report and Shutter Island. He was also in Wild Strawberries, the Virgin Spring and was the knight who played chess against Death in the Seventh Seal.

Lord Liaden Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Max von Sydow was in a ton of stuff over seven decades. And he elevated everything he appeared in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only did he play Jesus, but he also got to play the Devil (in the form of sinister antique dealer John Guant) in the criminally-underrated Needful Things. Along with The Seventh Seal, he did several other films with Ingmar Bergman, the brilliant and heavily influential Swedish director. (I have never seen The Seventh Seal. It is such an influential film that one of these days I will.) massey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After TWO Fantastic Four attempts on the big screen got Dr. Doom wrong, some were saying he just wouldn't work blah blah... and I'm like "Are you kidding?

Lord Liaden Posted March 10, 2020 Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 Three attempts, if you count Roger Corman's unreleased FF movie. You may want to forget it, but it did happen. EDIT: BTW Corman's film is on the file-sharing website, Daily Motion, if anyone's curious: Hermit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
