​
Rutger Hauer, (January 23, 1944 — July 19, 2019)

“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die.”  — Roy Batty (Rutger Hauer) Blade Runner, 1982.​
“Ladyhawke” (1985 Twentith Century Fox) Rutger Hauer, Matthew Broderick, Michelle Pfeiffer, Leo McKern, John Wood, Ken Htchinson. Available on Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV.
  • "Navarre" is our favorite role for Rutger Hauer.  "Ladyhawke" is an action-adventure classic from 1985. For fans of this film, yes, we know that the only "cheesy" thing about "Ladyhawke" is the 1980's electronic-music soundtrack which is out of place for this type of film. Nonetheless,  it is an excellent film featuring great performances from Rutger Hauer, Matthew Broderick and Michelle Pfeiffer.   Watch "Ladyhawke" with the whole family!

“The Hitcher” (1986 TriStar Pictures)  Rutger Hauer, C. Thomas Howell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jeffrey DeMunn, John M. Jackon, Armin Shimerman.  Available on Amazon or Apple TV. Also currently available on Cinemax/MAX GO.
  • "The Hitcher" is hands down, one of the greatest modern thrillers.  The film was re-made in 2007 with Sean Bean, but the 1986 original staring Rutger Hauer is the best version.  Chilling, suspenseful,  and action-packed, get ready for a terrifying ride!  If you love suspense and aren't squeamish, this is a film for you!

“Blade Runner” (1982 Warner Bros.)  Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Daryl Hannah, Edward James Olmos, M. Emmet Walsh, William Sanderson, Joe Turkel.  Available on Amazon Prime Video or Apple TV. 
  • Blade Runner is one of the best Sci-Fi films ever made and is a work that was so far ahead of its time that it still stands up well today. Towards the end of the film, Rutger Hauer gives us one of the most memorable final scenes in any Sci-Fi film. We also loved the 2017 sequel "Blade Runner 2049."
