One movie that I really enjoyed was a Canadian made for t.v. movie about the life of Dr. Norman Bethune that was shown on Canadian television in about the mid 1980's. I admired his acting ability in that movie, as well as the movie "Ordinary People". He was a great actor!🎉

Some of my fav. Donald Sutherland movies: Virus, Citizen X, Beerfest, The Eagle Has Landed, Kellys Heroes and the Kentucky Fried Movie. Rest In Peace.

[@Diane574]

The Eagle Has Landed was a great book, and he was wonderful in the movie.

Donald Southerland is a great actor, with or without an award. Actually, he gets the ultimate reward for his peace activism

[@Kathy_Bennett]

He was so totally awesome in "Back Draft." I will never forget that performance.

[@alorenxe2557]

Same.

[@brucethomson168]

He did receive an honorary award in 2017.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers??? I can’t believe you completely omitted this!!! I remember that I couldn’t watch Sutherland in anything else because I was SO creeped out by his character in this movie!!

[@firefly4704]

Yeah, the last image of that movie still sticks in my mind.

[@johnsdao3917]

He is a beautiful legend of Canadian roots

[@cydraiyne8323]

Great expose! Truly an underrated actor. I have seen 3/4 of the movies you mentioned and Donald Sutherland was absolutely BRILLIANT. Full Stop. He is an amazingly talented actor. Thank you. R.I.P.

[@ellenspear50]

Wait, you just barely alluded to Invasion of the Body Snatchers. It's the best version of the many that have been made, in my estimation. When I think of Sutherland, I think of that film. Also, he was Mr Bennet in that not-great version of Pride & Prejudice.

This left out a lot of movies.

My favourite roles by the great Donald Sutherland were:- The Eagle has Landed/ Kelly’s Hero’s/ The Dirty Dozen/ in that order.

[@maxkazzora4234]

Ohh!! I forgot : Bear Island. 👍

[@LordMondegrene]

Sutherland played "Attila" the most horrifying degenerate serial killer fascist in "1900".

[@abhilashghosh7578]

Donald Sutherland and his son Kiefer Sutherland are two of the best actors I've seen. I have seen Mr. Donald's acting in the Italian Job film only. But Kiefer Sutherland, did a great job as Jack Bauer.
