    That should read SIR Christopher Wonka Dracula Saruman Dooku SCARAMANGA Lee. You can't leave out his role as the Bond baddie in The Man With The Golden Gun. After all Lee was Ian Fleming's cousin.

    The man is not only a movie icon, but one hell of a storyteller.

    Hey James Lipton if you're reading this, you better ask this man on your show soon or I'll never drink iced tea again! #christopherlee

    Christopher Lee always makes me feel a little melancholy, based solely on my childhood obsession with The Last Unicorn. #christopherlee

    @gertymac: Have you read the book? If so (and even if not, I think it works just as well if you've only seen the movie) here's a link to a short story the author wrote that is a sort-of-sequel to The Last Unicorn. Let me know what you think.

    @RandomFrequentFlierDent: Already read Two Hearts. :)

    Nothing was ever going to be as good as The Last Unicorn, but I liked the story. I think it captures the same feeling of melancholy and inevitable sadness as the original.

    Don't forget the voice of Death in most of the Discworld movies. (every time I read Pratchett, I still hear all his lines spoken in Lee's voice) #christopherlee

    @Barnabus: Helpful hint - if you want to start with something decent go with "Hogfather" (a Christmas time viewing has become a ritual among my friends and I). Then be prepared for the disappointment that is "The Colour of Magic". I'd honestly say you're better off skipping it. #christopherlee

    @Dedpool3678:

    I believe you're mistaken. The LOTR trilogy already had 2 knights: Sir Ian McKellan and Sir Ian Holm (Bilbo Baggins). Sir Christopher Lee, unless I'm mistaken, would be the third. #christopherlee

    Well the video is sort of on topic. There's something funny about Peter Cushing calling up Christopher Lee on the phone (about a minute into the clip). #christopherlee
