The world lost a true badass today and is just that much less deviant 

Now, which ridiculously awesome movie shall I watch tonight in his honor?

I liked his performance in Usual Suspects as Mr Kobayashi....but looking over his career, I forgot he was in Split Second....man that was a great film!!!

+1. Brassed Off was a good one too. The brass band music gave me shivers.

Superb Actor, Little known Role I always loved him in was the Father/Priest in Dragon Heart.

Dragonheart Trailer *good quality*

[Ahks]

RIP

His most memorable role, to me, was in The Omen...

After checking IMDB?
Dragon Heart (the scribe was a great character)
The Usual Suspects (Srsly, great movie)

brassed off meant a great deal to me. I remember the pit closures in the old country, and the distress it caused. That was a really good prortrayal in that movie of how to kill a town and demoralize its inhabitants,. Look at Newcastle, leeds, Sunderland, Liverpool, Sheffield Birmingham..... these were the great manufacturing centers of Britian. Coal, Steel and Iron, Shipbuilding. All gone now. In 100 years China will be a big wasteland just like the industrial heartlands of Britian and America.
RIP Sir, Congratulations on a job well done.

RIP sire.  A fantastic actor that brightened any film he was in.  Though most famous for his character parts, among his lead roles like Brassed Off (brilliant) was a favorite of mine, Among Giants.

Pete Postlethwaite's name anywhere on a movie usually means it's worth watching, even if his role is small.
