Yep, always great! But 95 is a great run. My grandmother passed away a week or two ago @ 100yo. She was ready to be done with this existence.

He was a great actor. Lonesome Dove was a high mark for westerns.

Godfather series and Apocalypse Now are two amazing films. Nice resume.

He's had a hundred or more great scenes, but this is the first thing that comes to mind these days. I've never seen this movie, but this scene is great every time.

It took awhile but eventually I realized that he played boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird

I think I can say I've enjoyed every movie I've seen that he's been in.
95 is a good run. R.I.P. Mr Duvall, you won't soon be forgotten.

"The Eagle Has Landed", directed by John Sturges, 1976. Here, Colonel (Oberst) Max Radl (Robert Duvall) discusses the Carl Jung concept of synchronicity and how it plays them in their task to kidnap Winston Churchill.
"A wink from pretty girl at a party results rarely in climax, Carl. But a man is a fool not to push the question as far as it will go."

He was my favorite actor. He was especially good in westerns. Lonesome Dove and Open Range, great, great movies. At 95 he had a good run. Rest in peace sir.
