Der Kaiser Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Saw today that he had died. If you've never seen Midnight Run then you've not seen one of the best comedies ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zico Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Midnight Run’s a classic. Action comedies are hard to get right but that one is spot on. Both Grodin and De Niro are great in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FWJ Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Hadn’t realised he was that age (86) RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Class film. Not least due to Yaphet Kotto and Joe Pantoliano. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weakened Offender Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Midnight Run is a classic movie and Charles Grodin was hilarious in it. Sad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martoon Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Sad to read. First movie i recall seeing him in was "Seems Like Old Times". A much underrated comedy with Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase. He's kind of the straight man but very funny in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costanza Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 "Are you doing the Litmus Configuration?". One of my all time favourite movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Kaiser Posted May 20, 2021 Author Share Posted May 20, 2021 De Niros head shake to Grodin after the line "I will shoot him and dump him in a ****ing swamp!" makes me laugh far more than I think I should. Used to rewind the VHS all the time just to watch it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Dark Brown hair?" "Light Coloured". "Sounds like our man". 🤣 The dialogue throughout this film is just exceptional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
