    Today we have lost one of the greatest British actors...a sad day indeed :(.

    'The Long Good Friday' still is the best British gangster film ever made and brought many a one liner to the school playground.

    'Shut up you long streak of paralysed piss'

    ' The Mafia ? I've **** 'em'

    RIP Bob

    Such a shame. Guess that makes my DVD choice for later tonight easier then.

    RIP Bob

    Pool Attendant: They kept it all incognito. They're gonna collect the body in an ice cream van.
    Harold: There's a lot of dignity in that, isn't there? Going out like a raspberry ripple.


    brilliant film.

    A truly sad loss, as well as the Long Good Friday I also love Mona Lisa. Bob Hoskins and Michael Caine who could ask for more?
    R.I.P. Bob thanks for the memories

    Very likeable character actor, just wish he hadn't been involved in those irritating BT ads!

    Top man - LGF of course, but great in Pennies from Heaven on TV and I loved him in small role as a heating engineer in Brazil - both funny and ultra threatening

    No DT, Sexy Beast is superb. Winstone's greatest performance.

    The long good Friday is one of my favourite films. Bob Hoskins was a top man & top actor, too young to leave us, RIP Bob

    Always one of my favourite actors. LGF was and is a classic, maybe the best gangsterfilms outside of Godfather. Anybody remember it was Pierce Brosnans and Helen Mirrens first steps to stardom? RIP Bob.
