Most recently "about Time" for any movie lovers out there, you should go see it!
Lynsday
Just saw it last night. Great movie!
americaneireann
I cried. A lot. Mostly due to Bill Nighy.
rentaldeception
"He played Alan Blunt in Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker." - is that Jimmy Carr next to him?
bellaluna
Yes, it is.
Hench4Life
About Time made me cry mantears
scuba7jb

ThatGermanGal

"...with Ron Weasley."

99 soulsssah!
Manwitch
And Slartibartfast! OMG OP How could you proclaim to be a fan and miss Slartibartfast!
SomeguyfromanotherjobsMrPurple
"Slartibartfast," repeated the old man quietly.
"Slartibartfast?"
The old man looked at him gravely.
"I said it wasn't important," he said.
bellaluna
Because I submitted it to the gallery too soon. I was putting it together and got distracted.
Manwitch
Ok, you are forgiven :P
bellaluna
Dobby just died... I was shaken! I'll fix it, I swear :p
Manwitch
Lol, You had my upvote anyway, Love that man
unijaw
Oh fuck Stormbreaker was such a awful film. It even made me hate Jimmy Carr. I love Jimmy Carr but who the fuck hired him for a acting role?
JokerToast
This was one of my favorite book series as a kid and i didn't know it was a movie until now.... then i read the comments and now im sad T.T
NewCreatures
annnnnnnnnnnnnn is my middle name.
DorthLous
Awww, I was about to check it out. More on why it sucked, please?
unijaw
Firstly it went completely wrong in terms of the book. I think the main characters were fine but they dumbed it down so much and overplayed-
matorland
Yeah, what the others said, it should be illegal to make such a bad movie out of such a phenomenal book.
unijaw
The girlfriend who got way to much screentime simply because they wanted to check a tickbox. I could go on.
MrJoeGGriffiths
It's a bad adaption of a great book. If it was just a standalone film, I wouldn't care too much, just think it was a bit rubbish. But (1/2)
MrJoeGGriffiths
(2/2) because it fucked up so much of the book (as well as killing off important plot elements for the sequels) it left me feeling massively
MrJoeGGriffiths
(3/2) disappointed.
Moan2
Jesus I didn't know they made a movie out of it. Based on your STELLAR review, however, I think I'll give it a pass
jadefire22
You forgot Still Crazy!! One of my favourite movies EVER! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0149151/
icanc4
"...and the flame still burns!"
yellowmonkeypurpleflower

NoThatsSocialSuicide
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS TO BE LISTED. WAS DISSAPOINT.
ScootermcScoot
Kids don't buy drugs because when you're famous everyone gives them to you for free!!!! Love Actually

Bill Bill Bill Bill Bill Bill Bill Bill Bill, Bill Nighy the underrated actor gughy.
doctorduck
isnt he like a HUGE star in the UK though? I've loved him since Shaun of the Dead and seen most of these movies.
RoosterTheRed
The "gughy" makes this.
princessnononoke
Most of these re horrid films sadly
KingoftheCouch
Seriously doe, I just watched About Time and he's in that movie as well. Check it out if you haven't!
bellaluna
I totally didn't mean to submit this to the gallery yet! I was still putting together pics!
WeAllLiveInAUserSubmarine
The time was nigh
WhyAmINotASaiyan

helloimrobin
Good excuse in case you missed some.. ;)
IrishBITS
Dont forget Ray Robertson from Blow Dry. His hair was Fabulous!
quailchick
Fun Fact - he was also the voice of Sam Gamgee in the BBC Radio version of LOTR.
mremaknu
I was gonna be really mad if you didn't have Rattlesnake Jake in here. That one fuckin' -stunned- me.
SirAwesomeTheThird
You did alright anyway.
AgamemnonsMemes
Part 2!
krondwag
He also plays the boss of Elijah Wood in the 2nd season of Wilfred.
icaarius
I was already in love with him so this is great thank you :)
LawDawgIt
He's fantastic in State of Play
Alastor3
can't you edit it ?
Alastor3
nevermind, I think you've done it already! Good Job OP!
sandwichmunchies
This'll do, OP...This'll do...
TimTamFlimFlam
That'll do pigsly, that'll do.
DsanDK
HEH :D
yallmotherfuckersneedscience
It's okay... does this mean we get another? :D
TrentHatex
Please do more under appreciated actors OP
lobstromonous
I vote for the rest!
ImgurnariumOfDoctorGiraffus
poor Rupert "With Ron Weasley"
bigsmushyface
"Victory" Maynard... Not sure if on purpose or typo, but I laughed.
ImgurnariumOfDoctorGiraffus
What just blew my mind when I scrolled up to check that, is the broken car window behind them looks like a t-rex.
bigsmushyface
It certainly does!
bellaluna
I think I'll just leave it as is. :)
NordMan
I'm a big fan of Bill Nighy, and I'm very aware of it! Thank you, OP.
cmykats
And the dad in About Time... which made me cry and I don't have emotions
CareBearWarfare
I will forever see him as Viktor. I know hes been in a ton of other films I love, but its still hard for me not to see that first
GeorgeAvalon
He actually had a splitting headache at the end!
lousymongrel
sorry Philip.
frecklesirish
He's not my dad!
BeccaBeccaBoBecca
You've got red on you.
MustLuvRaaacoons
lol with ron weasley
qussow
Did anyone else read the name in a sleep addled haze as Bill Nye and get very confused for a moment?
PrfctDrk
He played the awesome loving dad in the romance movie About Time :D
AkuTheShapeShiftingMasterOfDarkness
Yeah. He's good.
BlueToiletWater
At first I thought you meant Bill Nye the Science guy and then I though "what"
judgementalginger
dude, me too. I was looking through all the pictures and thinking 'dafuq? this can't be right'
Lizaturner
I had to look up Bill Nye's wikipedia page before I finally got it. Not a proud moment
machigy
I was still.confused until I read this.
Couscouscous
Moi aussi, mon beau chat
TalosValcoran
"my beautiful cat"?
Couscouscous
yes you are, yes you are!
RoosterTheRed
Everyone thinks of Nye when you talk about Nighy, cuz the last name sounds the same... same first name....
ZombieEinstein
It makes all of this so much funnier when you think that; and the fact it could *kinda* be his face.
leaandls5
same here...
SerialKitten666
They're both older white males and have similar facial structure so this confused me so effing hard....
gilsuhwan
I feel it in my fingers... I feel it in my toesss. Christmas is all around me, and so the feeling grows~
existana
I looked for this. Thanks :)
terrorsaurus
I'm a huge fan of Bill Nighy but I can't tell anybody about him because I don't know how to pronounce his name.
smgth
I've always realized it, trust me.
SmashingChap
Yea. He's hard to miss. Even in Pirates with all that CG, his mannerisms and timbre come through.
LoanWolve
I haven't seen any of these. Do I win or lose?
eatingonlyapples
That is a comprehensive loss. Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz are particular high points. Get thee to your nearest moving image outlet!
ISISKrieger
And beware the Ides of Blockbuster
LindaLitta
AND. Meerkat Manor on Animal Planet was narrated by him. He does all sorts of things<3 I've been fascinated since Underworld..
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
...Merekat manor was narrated by sean astin...
LindaLitta
Nu uuUUh. Seriously? Google it, or wikipedia.. Or forget that, you can HEAR it's his voice. Maybe we're talking about different seasons?
IamMelonLordeYaYaYa
It's possible we're talking about different seasons. When I watched it, it was clearly Sean, plus it was credited to him.
IchBinCharlotte
It's Bill Nighty in the English version and Sean Astin in the American one.
LindaLitta
Well, that explains it. I thought everyone got the same version with Bill Nighy :p
LindaLitta
Btw. Nighty? xD aheh
ImguritisIsNotCureable
SLARTIBARTFAST!!!!!
DidSteveTellYouThatPerchance
My last name starts with Bart and my friends used to call me that.
DeathDoctorTrafalgarLaw
Grab your towels, he is Slartibartfast!
backet
Exactly
MrMusclePants
Come now or you will be late!
ImguritisIsNotCureable
Late for what?
MrMusclePants
What is your name Earth man?
ImguritisIsNotCureable
Dent, Arthur Dent
MrMusclePants
Then you will be the Late Dent Arthur Dent. It's a sort of 'threat' you see, I've been told they can be quite effective.
kangaskid18
I told you it wasn't important.
MaverickEsq
Well played, sir.
inshadowz
Totally minus points for beardless Slarty! Needed more Gandalf.

TheFlyingHellfish
Have you ever heard of place called Norway?
randomdent42
Yeah, my father knows a guy that got an award for that place one time.
Cras26
fiddly bits
TheFlyingHellfish
I will admit to being thoroughly confused by the last couple books in the series. I read them all but I'm still not sure what happened.
Bob423
I'm not sure they were supposed to make a lot of sense. They were still awesome.
randomdent42
Thats what theyre about, i think. but youre right, the fifth one just goes fuck logic.
