Flesh+Blood
Oh my. I'd sort of blotted that one from my memory. The movie was so, very, extraordinarily bad...but I could not take my eyes off of RH. The commentary track is worth the rental for its raw, how did they keep from actually killing each other? verite.
The most naked (pun intended), and a little hateful, representation of a film experience...next to Terry Gilliam's willingness to come across as precisely as genius-unhinged as he is in documentaries and commentaries.
Ech. I wish I weren't remembering it now.
That's what it was! And it was horrifyingly awful. But ... Rutger Hauer declaring himself as St. Martin or whatever was a really fascinating train wreck.
This was years and years ago, too. I wonder if I could sit through it now.
I had forgotten about Flesh and Blood. That was such a difficult film. The commentary sounds interesting, but there's no way I'll be watching that again.
I think his best role was as the little seen dad in Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, and possibly his little seen role in Stormy Monday. Basically as an asshole thug.
I love Sting best in Yellowbeard.
I love Sting best in this video. [link]
He has the World's Most Adorable Sweater. And an evil twin!
I think I have to go with Fortress Around Your Heart.
Rutger Hauer will always be Roy Batty to me but I did love him in Blood of Heroes.

I LOVED Blood of Heroes. Such a whacked-out cast.
CNN is saying that John Hughes (the director/writer) died of a heart attack today.
So: what's your favorite John Hughes movie (as director or writer)?
For me, it's always The Breakfast Club. But followed VERY closely by Planes, Trains and Automobiles; Sixteen Candles; and Mr. Mom.
Pretty in Pink
and
The Breakfast Club.
