I enjoyed his style of directing in a few of his movies he worked on, may he rest in peace.

RIP I thought he was a producer only, but did like Dune the original epic. Can't remember what else he did but sure I did enjoy it.

Despite being, in the least, controversial I can remembere going to see Dune in the cinema when it first came out, and loving it immensely. If nothing else it made me go out, buy and read the book, and that has to be worth something!

RIP and thanks.

Flash Gordon is one of my all time favourites - extremely camp and tongue in cheek. Loved it. RIP mate.

I can't believe he passed away so many months ago and I didn't even know it. This man is a legend!

He produced movies like Serpico, The Three Days of the Condor, Army of Darkness, early movies by Fellini, the great Italian classic La Grande Guerra and David Lynch's Blue Velvet.
