RIP: Sidney Poitier
Sad to see that Sidney Poitier has died. He is known for his many great movies, but it is a pair of 90s B movies that I think of when I remember him.
Sneakers ...
a 1992 American crime comedy .... starring Robert Redford, Dan Aykroyd, Ben Kingsley, Mary McDonnell, River Phoenix, Sidney Poitier, and David Strathairn.
The Jackal ...
a 1997 American action thriller film directed by Michael Caton-Jones and starring Bruce Willis, Richard Gere, and Sidney Poitier in his final theatrical film role. The film involves the hunt for a paid assassin.
He will be missed.

He was good, I was sorry to read of his death. I remember him in The Lilies of the Field, To Sir With Love, and In the Heat of the Night, among others.
I remember To Sir With Love - the song that went with that.
