'Love Story' was a favorite of mine back then

I just remember him as Dr. Brennan's father in the TV series Bones. Nonetheless, I hope his friends and family are managing okay during this tough time.

I liked the TV show "Bones" and his character, Max,
as Temperance Brennan's father.

Sorry, but "Love Story" was maudlin and overwrought.
"Love means never having to say you're sorry" is wrong.
I say: Love means having to say you're sorry, constantly.

"Love means never having to say you're sorry" is wrong.

Which is why I selected the clip that I did.

We laughed so hard the first time we saw "What's Up Doc". Now when we watch it we start laughing in advance of the scenes. It's one of our favorite movies. Some critics agree.

Why 'What's Up, Doc?' is Ryan O'Neal's best movie

The late actor Ryan O'Neal was best known for his star-making turn in 'Love Story,' but the screwball comedy 'What's Up Doc?' showcased the often untapped depths of his talent.

He seemed to really enjoy playing that role, and he played it well.

"What's Up Doc" is one of my favorites - it shares my comedy niche with Galaxy Quest, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Blues Brothers, and The Big Lebowski.

IMO - though she was just in a supporting role, Madeline Kahn was the true star of the movie and totally deserved a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her outstanding portrayal of Eunice Burns. Her performance was so critical to the movie. But comedy historically isn't valued by the academy, so she wasn't even nominated.

I love the convention dinner scene ("Who is that dangerously unbalance woman?") where she's dragging the woman holding on to her leg, while she's wildly singing her purse to fend off everyone around her. Then, when they drag her out, wailing and crying, she drags her heels back and forth, leaving squiggly heel marks on the floor.

Madeline Kahn was also great in Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and, coincidentally, in Paper Moon.
