    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

    It couldn't happen to a nicer gentleman. I grew up watching Hammer films with my dad on Saturday mornings and his cinematic resurgence this decade has been a treat for me and fans all over the world. I couldn't be happier for SIR Christopher Lee! #christopherlee
