I think Peter O’Toole is one of the finest actors who has ever entered the profession. His role in Laurence of Arabia, in my mind, is unsurpassed by any role ever played by any actor. Simply magic.
O’Toole has long been an idol for me..and I actually like him best in some of the off films he made in the 80’s The Stunt Man, My Favorite Year to name but two….
Creator . . . .probably the first of his movies I truly liked. Great writing, great acting, and all around fun while touching on some important issues.
I love How to Steal a Million. Couldn’t agree more.
Such a fun movie. The Ruling Class is my favorite movie.
I’m a huge fan of the classics, so I’ll definitely add that to my “To Watch” list.
Mine too. That was a brilliant performance!
Sigh, it makes me feel old to think I remember them both looking like that…..

I am finally working through his whole catalog. Will report back after I get to those.
they aren’t classics, like LofA or Lord Jim…but i liked their quirky off-beat nature.
What’s a classic but someone else’s opinion?
so true.
