This one hurts. I was honored to have met Richard Donner a few times, observe him work a bit, and I was always in awe of how he not only commanded a set, but commanded the screen. He made this kid believe a man could fly, and maybe one day, that same kid could make a movie. RIP.
I’m very sad to hear that Richard Donner passes away at age 91. He was a phenomenal filmmaker with films like The Omen, The Goonies, Lethal Weapon, and Superman. What an impressive legacy.
Without Richard Donner’s SUPERMAN, there would be no modern superhero films as we know them. Every successful superhero franchise since has built on his work. It was the CITIZEN KANE of comic book adaptations. He was as much a legend as the character he curated. RIP
Richard Donner redefined the concept of what a superhero on film could be. Every modern comic book movie owes him a debt of gratitude. I’m eternally grateful. Superman (and Superman II), Lethal Weapon, Scrooged, The Goonies, The Omen, Maverick, & more. What a cinematic legacy.
Richard Donner made the devil a child in The Omen, invented the modern day comic book movie with Superman, and reinvented the buddy cop movie with Lethal Weapon. I got to meet with him last year about a project. Guy was a natural born storyteller. Thanks for all the flicks, Dick!
Aw, man. Richard Donner has gone. Thanks for everything, Dick. For the best Superman, for Riggs and Murtaugh, for cutting David Warner’s head off and showing it from 278 different angles, for directing some of my favourite movies, and for teaching me what ‘verisimilitude’ means.
he never really became a “name brand” director like many of his colleagues but Richard Donner made a ton of great movies. The Omen, Inside Moves, Ladyhawke, Scrooged, Maverick, Radio Flyer, in addition to the ones cited below. Rest in peace.
Richard Donner‘s big heart & effervescent charm shone in his movies through the remarkable performances of his cast, which is no mean feat. You remember all the characters in Superman, Lethal Weapon, The Goonies & more, because Donner knew how to capture that magic onscreen
