I was going to mention Sorcerer.

Excellent movie, cult classic.

Another one bites the dust in the wind... RIP, Mr. Scheider.

The actors we remember from our youths were, of course, always a little older than we were, so as we are passing through middle age they are getting truly old, and it is inevitable that we start to hear about more and more of them dying. Sad, how this sort of news seems to come thicker and faster with every passing year...

At least these artists leave a legacy of recorded works that will outlive them, and last as long as the media and our memories do. I may just break out the Jaws Laserdisc next time I watch, and raise a toast to another great actor gone!

Roy Scheider, thanks for the memories. RIP
Jaws was the film I chose to see the first time that I ever took a girl to the movies. She was terrified of the shark soon after the movie got rolling and clung tightly to me throughout the rest of the show. The girl, Tanya, turned out to be my first girlfriend ever.

Enjoyed him in many movies... I think "Blue Thunder" was the first film I remember him from.

Man, and I had just got done watching one of his old movies, 2065. And I loved All That Jazz as one of my favorites and a classic. A sad day ....

Hard to believe he was 75.. He was "not-a-kid, but not old" in "7-Ups" & "Jaws" but-Gulp- They were nearly 35 years ago...

Anyone remember "Sea Quest DSV?" I watched some of that back when it was on TV--mid '90s maybe?

Fantastic movie with perhaps the best car chase ever.

Heck yeah, looking at this thread reminded me of how many movies he did that I liked.

When I read this, the first thing I thought of is "did the Angel of death appear to him as Jessica Lange"?

Produced by Philip D'Antoni of Bullit fame so no surprise there.

The Space Odessey movies, 2001, 2010, were two of my favorites of all time.
