A Vast Filmography:
prevnextRutger Hauer is most known for Blade Runner but his best work came with Paul Verhoeven in Turkish Delight, Soldier of Orange, Flesh + Blood, Katie Tippel and Spetters. Together they were Dutch film. R.I.P. to a man who had SEEN things. pic.twitter.com/pKBtyc1hhQ

Everyone Has A Favorite:
prevnextBlade Runner wasn't the formative Rutger Hauer movie for me as a kid. That would have been Ladyhawke, and then the OG Buffy the Vampire Slayer. RIP to a quiet legend of my childhood. https://t.co/UH6wkl5Edv

More Praise:
prevnextMany of Rutger Hauer's more memorable roles saw him playing villains, but I've always really loved his performance in Hobo With a Shotgun. It's a gory grindhouse throwback at the end of the day, but Hauer really elevates it with his heartbreaking work as the title character. pic.twitter.com/7Yyl336Tw8
