To me, Who Framed Roger Rabbit? is a shining example of a quality movie that has not only survived the test of time, but will never fall victim to it.

It's one of my favourite movies, and Bob Hoskins as Eddie Valiant is his magnum opus in a career that's lasted as long as my life.

Loved him as Smee in Hook. That's how I'll remember Bob Hoskins acting.

Shame. He was a quality actor. Best of luck in the remainder of his life.

I believe it was Steve Martin who said he took a movie role once so he could buy another nice piece of art, sometimes you just do it for the paycheque.

I haven't watched Who Framed Roger Rabbit in a very long time, now I need to revisit it.
