This looks like it must have been taken in the 70s…

Are we really going to ignore the fact the man slept naked as a jaybird???

Exactly what the title says. Yeah, Rickman had plenty of roles after helping to create My Name Is Rachel Corrie, but his career never grew as much as those of some stars. His butting heads with higher-ups on the sets of movies like Rasputin and Mesmer--because he wanted the extras to have better food and for actors to be treated more respectfully--would probably have been seen as insubordination.

Why, in the name of all that is good, is he so sexy.

He isn’t conventionally attractive, and yet he is so damn sexy it’s almost unbelievable.

Think of the Gas Station Dance Scene in the In Demand music video. This man can make a gas station of all places seem sexy.

Literally how lol.

Have you got any ideas?

In the movie truly madly deeply,just before they start singing sun ain't gonna shine,they both will be by the window and be singing (more of whispering) a song. Please can you tell me the song if you know it. My first language is not English and I am gen z so .... Please help me

The white streak of hair❤️❤️

I want to start off by saying this is just a question so please be nice :)

Do you guys think that Alan and Rima had an open relationship? I like them both so much but just started wondering after seeing other people write about his diary contents with another male actor and something about strip clubs as well? But i dont know a 100% myself i just read these in this community. Also because i know he was just friends with Emma Thompson but I cant help but think if there was any admiration from either side

Also i want to thank everyone in this community for having this and honouring a great actor and person that passed away so early.

Hi everyone I’m looking for a specific video I saw on TikTok a while ago. I’m assuming it must have come from YouTube. Alan Rickman was in his 60’s. He was coming out of some play, and was out on the street and signing autographs. The person filming was rude to him, I think it was implied that he was going to sell the autograph or pushed him to sign a Harry Potter one which Alan did not do. And as Alan goes to the car he turns and tells him to f himself. It’s the only video I have ever seen where he lost his composure with rude fans and now I can’t find it anywhere.

Does anyone remember what the title was of the video where Alan Rickman and two women were just heads reciting a poem/story?

Share your stories when you first met alan with his wife rima!

In the 2019 Galaxy Quest documentary, Patrick Breen (the actor who played Quellek in the film) reminisced about the last time he met Alan Rickman, they had dinner a few weeks/months before Alan passed away. At that moment, Alan told Patrick that due to ill-health he had to pull out of a film project. When asked who replaced him, Alan disdainfully answer in a joking manner, "Bill Nighy".

The title of the film wasn't mentioned so I took to IMDB and look for films in Bill Nighy's filmography released in 2016. The Limehouse Golem caught my attention and from the trivia section it was mentioned that Nighy's role (Inspector Killdare) was, at first, Rickman's before he had to pull out.

I searched for the film and watched it, and I'm crying because I really wanted him to be the one who played Killdare, even if it's a gory murder detective story set in Victorian Era similar like Jack the Ripper case. Also, at the end of the credit title there was a dedication page for Alan :'(

PS: Everyone, you should watch it. Through out the film, I imagined how Alan would have played Killdare. Bill Nighy was good, I like him, but I prefer Alan Rickman.

First one I drew on July and the second one I drew on January (In his memory) ❤️💞 Alan Rickman Always ❤️😊 I'm not yet a Professional Artist, I'm just a teen and completed my diploma in Fine Arts...I will share more drawings and paintings of Alan in upcoming days 😉❤️

I’ve only just seen his mom and siblings…

For me, I wasn't actually sure which exactly I watched first: Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, or Die Hard. This two movies was on re-run many times in one of the first private-owned TV channel in my country (somewhere in South East Asia) in early 1990s, when I was around 8-10 years old.

What I do clearly remembered was, I loved the characters: Sherriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood, Hans Gruber in Die Hard. I thought, still think, that they were way more interesting than the main protagonist/the good guy. Also, the funny bit and stupid thing for me was that, back then, I never read the movie casts at the end of the closing credits, so I never knew they were played by the same actor...(you can laugh, I'm terrible at recognising people's face. I'd be the most unreliable witness in a trial.)

I only realised about a decade later that they were the same person when reading an online news that the Harry Potter film was going to be made, and Severus Snape, my favorite character in the books was going to be played by Alan Rickman. The thing that made me really like Snape are his lines, especially his opening speech at Harry's first potion class; and like in Hans Gruber and Sheriff of Nottingham, I think that Severus Snape's character is way more interesting than the main protagonist in the books.

Anyway, after knowing that bit of info, I checked his pictures to see what he looked like and approved that he did looked like what I imagined Snape would looked like. Then, I check IMDB to see what his previous films, and I was shocked and delighted that he was Hans Gruber and Sheriff of Nottingham. I took note of all his other previous films, and then went to a small and wonderful library manage by the British Council in my country, and looked for them. Then and there was when I found two wonderful gem that was Truly, Madly, Deeply, and Sense and Sensibility. I grew more in love with this man and his films: Dogma, Galaxy Quest, Mesmer, Rasputin, Love Actually, Michael Collins, etc. I've seen almost all of them (with the exceptions of Bob Roberts, The Winter Guest, and Closet Land, and most TV appearances at the time I write this post.), and have collected their digital copy (I think I have all of them.)

Among my friends, I'm known for my love of anything on Harry Potter (specifically, Severus Snape) and of anything on Alan Rickman. When Harry Potter book 6 came out, my friends asked me about what I think about Snape's action at the of the book. I remember saying, I'm shocked but his story was becoming more interesting to me. When book 7 came out, I felt numb when I read the line "Severus Snape was no more." (I think that was how it was written) in the chapter where he died; I cried so much reading his story in "The Prince's Tale" to the point that I never have the strength to re-read the books anymore after I finished the series. When the eighth and last Harry Potter film was out, it felt like Snape died the second time when I watched it, so difficult it was for me that I avoided re-watching all Harry Potter films too every time any of them were on cable TV.

And finally, when I read the news of Alan Rickman's death (by way of many of my friends sending the links to me and asking me if it was true as if I was related directly to him or his family; or as if I knew him personally)...I felt like he (whether it was Snape or Alan, I cannot tell anymore) died the third time. The only thing I could do to pay my last respect for him was watching Eye in the Sky and Alice Through the Looking Glass in the cinema. And then, I couldn't bear to re-watch any of his films for so long, until lately. I'm starting again with the films I never watched before (Quigley Down Under, A Promise, A Little Chaos, 2019 Galaxy Quest Documentary, CBGB), I loved every one of them and I can't wait to watched the rest (the early TV movies). I felt I missed him more, but the pain was less significant than before, and I'm okay with that. I still feel sad, but I think I am able to enjoy anything on Alan Rickman again now.

What about you? Tell me your story. I'd love to read it, I'd love to get to know fellow fans.
