Bad news, all - veteran UK actor John Hurt has finally succumbed to his fight with cancer

Hurt appeared in well over 100 films, in addition to countless other appearances, and first broke through to international prominence with his role in "10 Rillington Place". I guess that everyone here has their own personal Hurt highlight, film-wise, but for me seeing his extraordinary lead role in Lynch's "The Elephant Man" at an early age was an early sighting for for me of his considerable talent.

Anyway, RIP John, and thanks for all the many film memories.
