Bogdanovich yesterday, another legend today

In the Heat of the Night, The Defiant Ones - what a great and varied screen life he led

Rip Sidney Poitier.

First movie I saw with him at the movie theaters was Sneakers. RIP.

Legend has become so overused but it'd be inappropriate to not use that to describe Poitier. We'd be in a different world without his influence. It feels so weird to say he's gone. RIP

A titan with incomparable charm and screen presence, from The Defiant Ones to In the Heat of the Night to Sneakers and everything in between. Huge, huge loss. RIP.

Oh man. One of my favorite actors of all time.

May he rest in peace.

I wish the studios would release some of his lesser-known movies in HD, such as the underrated 1988 thriller Shoot to Kill (aka Deadly Pursuit).

Guess Who's Coming To Dinner and To Sir, With Love are 2 of my all time favorite movies! R.I.P. sir! You were a true inspiration!

Legendary actor. Great in all the roles I've seen him in: To Sir With Love, A Raisin in the Sun, In the Heat of the Night, A Patch of Blue, all of which are worth seeing and owning. Really need to watch The Defiant Ones, Lilies of the Field, and Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.

R.I.P A true legend in cinema.

A legend.

Rest in Power, Mr. Poitier.

Darn it! I hope this doesn’t become a trend for this year.
Last week we lost another legend, Betty White
And now Sidney Poitier, such a wonderful actor.

Rest in peace Mr. Poitier

Add to the list, Peter Bogdanovich who passed away yesterday, same day as Poitier.
