    Thats a damn shame. RIP indeed. 24/7 is one of the best films ever made IMHO. Understated genius….

    Wow that’s a shocker. Enjoyed his work. Particularly The Woman Who Married Clark Gable, the last short preceding film I saw at the cinema.

    There’s a lot of acting going on here and barely a word said;

    RIP Mr Hoskins.

    We went to see Who Framed Roger Rabbit at the cinema with an American lady, after the film I asked her what Bob Hoskins’s accent was like (with thoughts of Dick Van Dyke) and sounding puzzled she told me that she had no idea he wasn’t American, which impressed me greatly.

    A shame he didn’t get more big roles as he must have been one of the most well known/recognisable British actors ever and he was always entertaining.

    WFRR is a true classic though, totally unique, and Bob was perfect in it so he has a great legacy.

    Always thought Mona Lisa was one of his best.

    A big loss to the British acting community.

    hmmm, I think I’d take The Long Good Friday. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant film and a cracking performance by Bob. Espcially those last couple of minutes in the back of the cab
    And this scene

    And then there’s Mona Lisa, sad little man who couldn’t be further away from the menacing Harold in Friday

    RIP

    I remember it too. Me and my brother were dead chuffed when my dad managed to get Donald Gee’s autograph in a pub somewhere.

    The first I knew of it was when the lad who has been hired to tweet for our company decided to go all Peaches Geldof on it claiming for each of our divisions that we were all horrified by the death of Bob Hoskins. Most of the staff ( young people under 30?) had no idea who he was. And whilst I would probably rather he lived I certainly wasn’t drowning my sorrows on hearing the news.
    Twitter is rapidly becoming the online equivalent of bunches of flowers at RTA sites.

    Just got round to watching The Long Good Friday, after seeing it on this thread, and what a superb film it is too! Good sound track as well, and pretty fast paced for it’s age. Very nearly didn’t get released either: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Long_Good_Friday

    Yeah, awesome film. Helen Mirran looks smokin’ in it too. Which is nice.
