Sir Alec Guinness Tribute

[fitzpatrickgf]

35 seconds into the video you have Peter O'Toole from Lawrence of Arabia. Alec played Prince Feisal in that movie. Alec Rocks!!!! He's an inspiration to anyone who seriously wants to understand why acting is so fun. Dressing up and truly transitioning yourself into the charactor and knowing all your lines well is just one of the rewarding parts.

[Cleon29Warrior]

Enough about "Star wars", people. One of the best roles ever filmed is Sir Alec as Colonel Nicholson in "The bridge on the river Kwai". He was one of the greatest ever.

[elecomob67whip]

I totally agree with bookishmuch regarding Sir Alec and the awful music chosen as a tribute !

[Phoenix4646]

Rest in piece, Sir Guinness!

Star Wars 4 Ever!

[gtimny]

I don't now how these bloody things keep ending up in my "recommended" box but Jesus I am sick of these so-called tributes in which some ignorant clown gathers up a bunch of poorly scanned photos they don't own to which they add a piece of crap song like this one which they also don't own and which would have made the great Sir Alec want to vomit, pretending all the while they've done it to honor him. Tasteless, maudlin, self-aggrandizing muck.

ben...

[marshhen]

wow, its true, this song is hideous

[gardenmike]

Star Wars without the presence of Obiwan by Guiness is nil.

[jsp9412002]

this guy was a great actor

[rleigh87]

what does he have to do with anything? They were both great.

[headnutinferno]

schade dass er nicht episode 3 gesehen hat, wie nahezu perfekt sie ewan in sein frühes ich verwandelt haben.

cooler song!

[vfgjhj]

Alec Guinness gave such a wise and warm feeling in Star Wars episode IV.

[hetriusraptor]

R.I.P Obi Wan Kenobi aka Alec Guinness

[fr7a73]

Great tribute. Sir Alec is wonderful!!!!!

[SirAlecGuinness123]

Schade das er schon Tod ist!!!

[92af]

Laurence Olivier was totaly better than Alec Guinness was

[Iliketomakefanfics]

If you honestly believe that, I'd like to know what your smoking because to have that type of opinion, you must be taking some pretty hardcore stuff.

[GEROIDIN]

Olivier was a theatre actor first and formost. Guinness could do both theatre and film with equal brilliance, so in my opinion and everyone is entitled to one Guinness was the better actor.

[escritorculomex]

R.I.P Obi Wan Kenobi aka Alec Guinness

[alexkoong123]

0:22 is my fave picture he is Obi-Wan Kenobi

[dirgist123]

amazing actor

[Bzdoniek]

3:27 is it really Alec Guinness? nice video, it's like watching a movie about the different persons, but it's a one great person...

[pkneeno]

Great tribute. The music is too electric, too contemporary, raucous, tho. I don't know what would be better. Maybe medley of movie themes. He was a powerful, powerful actor. I understand he struggled with depression, was devoutly Roman Catholic. Thanks for the post.

[matthompson]

A pìobaireachd would be most appropriate.

[jedimaster9116]

He was a great actor. He did good in star wars. My favorite role by him.

[emanbonnici]

He Will Remain Forever Alongside Richardson, Gielgud, Olivier And Hardwicke, One Of The Best Veteran British Actors In History !

[CONCERTCHOIR6]

Concertchoir6

The date of his death is wrong it's not August 5th, 2000 it's August 6th, 2000 that he died I just looked it up & my date is right!

[synchc]

1. at :37 thats peter o toole. guinness played an arab leader in LaOfAr.

2. moviehombre: you cant have too many homages to guinness obi wan goodness. lucas, guinness, jones and ford may as well have made the film with no one else involved.

3 jpfg100: these stills showcase his talent better than fifteen 10 second clips ever could. i think the author has a good eye for photography. youre an obvious product of an mtv culture that will be the downfall of artists like guinness.

goodvid

[moviehombre]

Nice tribute. Too many Star Wars clips I think, but otherwise very nice. I especially like the collage of characters at 2:19. Very neat. Thanks for posting!

[AlecGuinnessFan]

He is one on the greatest actors ever! :D

His movies and his acting are very good!

A great pity, that he is dead! :(

[nmolen]

did he die??? if he did =(=(=(=(=(=(=(=(

[OuchmakerX]

Sir Alec died in August 2000.

[spider394]

May the force be with him....

[SIngli6]

@spider394

...and the entire D'Ascoyne dynasty!

[bookishmuch]

Sir Alec was quite possible the greatest actor ever to have lives. With no exaggeration at all. Better than Olivier and Brando, even. And he deserved MUCH better music than this!!

[makutateridax200]

@bookishmuch he did not like star wars ;( ;( >;( it made him famous he should have signed on for more like his queens knights replacement who signed on for more of his respective series

p.s. the replacement is sir patrick stewart of star trek who got pretty rich on that series alone whereas alec guiness pulled an orson welles being typecast for not taking advantage of what he had

and only posthumussly getting noticed for his work

[jpfg1000]

What a boring video. Why do people think we want to look at stills, and listen to some dull music, instead of seeing clips with audio, of the performers great roles. 

0 out of 10.

Trying to remember all the tribute videos I've ever seen on various awards shows, or documentaries that are made up of stills. Oh, thats it, there are none, because they rubbish.

[nmolen]

this vide isnt boring

[raymyhill2]

he was a great actor one of the best ever i loved his acting to pieces but STAR WARS was the biggest piece of junk ever

[Hydemepls]

He hated being remembered for starwars XD. Though he was an awsome actor.

[tomionl]

Great clip! Am rediscovering Alec Guinness. Wasn't he in a movie picture with Grace Kelly? Btw, why is peter O'Toole in there at 00:36.

[podGmaster]

I'm the grandson of his brother

[nmolen]

really!?!? for realz

[24gwen24]

Thanks for posting this tribute. Sir Alec Guinness was a remarkable actor. We were fortunate enough to see him as Shylock in Chichester Theatre,UK. mid 80's.

[AllenbysEyes]

Well, I'm not sure about the song. But a great tribute to one of the finest actors ever.

[Snotra]

Argh...The song..nevermind. Was Sir Guiness a bi-sexual or gay?

[thesimsonsfan]

i miss so much

R.I.P

[kertschy]

He died today 7 years ago. April 5th 2000. Unforgotten. May he rest in peace

[raymonda100]

One of the greatest character actors of all time. Thanks for posting.

[EvansGarden]

Thanks so much for creating this tribute! My favorite actor. My very favorite Alec Guinness movies are from his Ealing Studio days in the 40's and 50's..The Man in the White Suit, The Lavender Hill Mob and so on. I'm sure you've seen these but it's worth mentioning so others can find copies and see these phenomenal films, too. I especially love Alec Guinness' voice and how he didn't need to move a muscle, you see all his emotions in his eyes. I so enjoyed your tribute. Thanks again!

[FiJo7]

although i dont know much about this guy, but i can see he has "sir" so im assuming he was knighted so hes gotta be big

the song is pretty sick too, iced earth, heard of them never really listened might check em out

[Slimdawgc]

Best actor ever. :)

[LannyOnasis]

VERY VERY VERY NICE! SIR ALEC GUINNESS WAS TRULY A GREAT MAN AND ACTOR! Thanks for posting this tribute video! :D:D:D:D

[brkmyr]

It's good to see that someone out there has made a tribute recognizing a broad sampling of Guinness' work. I do have one nitpick; early on there is a photo from Lawrence of Arabia, but the photo is of Peter O'Toole. Guinness is nowhere in the shot. I'd also love to see more from Kind Hearts and Coronets and maybe a bit from Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. But I understand how difficult it can be getting images from all these films without doing screen grabs. Good work.

[MysteriousSith]

Very nice... Awesome song :D
