In the past week I’ve seen the talented Alan Rickman in two movies, playing two very different characters. This week’s quiz answers are my 9 favorite Rickman films – I’ve even listed them in the order I like them best. I’ll give you the character he played and the year it came out. Leave a comment telling me the # and the name of the movie. No Googling – that’s cheating and no fun!

I only know #1 and #6! The Harry Potter movies, and Robin Hood!
By the way, I’ve got something for you at my blog: http://bettysbooks.blogspot.com/2009/08/one-lovely-blog-award.html
#4 Love,Actually?
I love AR – have you seen Truly, Madly, Deeply? He was wonderful in that, one of my fav. movies.
I haven’t seen that. I’ll have to look for it.
3 = Sense and Sensibility. But you missed Quiggly Downunder with Tom Sellek (sp?). Loved him in that!
I’ve never seen Quigley. Another movie to look for.
#5 Die Hard!! Awesome bad guy
I love these quizzes! Unfortunately, the ones I remember have already been answered – H.P., Robin Hood and Die Hard. I know that I know some of the others so I’ll have to think about them. Quickly!
I don’t know any but that doesn’t stop me from reading your quiz!
I think #9 is Sweeney Todd.
#3 Sense and Sensibility
#3 Colonel Brandon in Sense and Sensibility, one of my favourite movies.
I think #8 is The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. I love Marvin, the depressed robot. What a great character.
#2 is Dogma
#7 is Galaxy Quest
If you haven’t seen Snow Cake and Dark Harbor, I recommend them!
2. Dogma! An awesome movie 🙂
Alan and Mos Def were also in an HBO movie that I saw, “Something The Lord Made.”
I’ve seen Mos Def all over the place lately, but not in the movie you mention. If we got HBO we might never leave the house, so we don’t risk it 🙂
I’m ashamed to say I had absolutely no clue who Alan Rickman was until the “Harry Potter” films. He’s absolutely the perfect Snape — but then again, he’s great in everything he’s in! (And now I’ve seen him in plenty of other films, haha)
