Jonathan Demme RIP

Sadly departed. He gave us Philadelphia, Silence of the Lambs, The Manchurian Candidate.

Also directed Springsteen's Streets of Philadelphia music video that accompanied the movie

I had no idea he was 73. I thought he was much younger.

RIP.

Now he's with his brother
RIP Mr. Demme.
Thanks for all the great movies.

Oh my God, what?!!

Stop Making Sense, Something Wild, Married to the Mob...damn man. What a pisser.

Damn, that's too bad. Not really a fan of any of his films but then i've not seen much by him. Was actually planning on watching Stop Making Sense soon after listening to the Talking Heads recently.

RIP

Damn.

RIP Mr Demme. SOTL will be in my top ten forever.

Oh, no.

He was great. Always blew my mind that the guy who made Married to the Mob also directed Silence of the Lambs.

That kind of versatility is rare.

Something Wild is my fave of his. The tonal shift in that movie is brilliant.

Gonna watch Something Wild tonight. Heard nothing but good things, think Dave Kehr had it as one of the best films of the 80's.

Sad to hear

Vale.

RIP

RIP to a talented director.

Strange because just last week I watched The Master Builder, which by the way is a superb film.

Jesus, this is just terrible.

I only saw Silence Of The Lambs, but that was a really great film which I could see no other direct than Demme.

R.I.P. to a brilliant director.

So sorry to hear about the death of Jonathan Demme...for my money, he created a legacy with his work on Philadelphia, but it was Silence of the Lambs that won him the Oscar (a film I found slightly overrated, but I digress). Also loved Rachel Getting Married and Married to the Mob. This is a great loss. RIP.
