RIP. Spartacus is 1 of my favorite movies & he was great in it.

Kirk was an unbelievable 103 years old. RIP

Rest in peace, Kirk Douglas.

My late father was a fan from childhood and I remember watching many of his films on VHS: 20000 Leagues Under The Sea, Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and Last Train From Gunhill were amongst my favourites. The Vikings and Spartacus are obviously magnificent; as well as that First World War film, directed by Stanley Kubrick. I don’t recollect it’s name.

My Great Grandparents watched him at the Movie Theatre

Was thinkin the same. That picture of the parking lot sign is buried somewhere on this site.

RIP Mr. Douglas

What a life - Rest in peace Kirk Douglas.

RIP legend !!

Spartacus wasn't really about a Thracian gladiator; it was more a metaphor for the McCarthy witch-hunts in the 50s. A great film, and a great actor, with a great screenplay by Dalton Trumbo.

Another one gone too soon.

Lust for Life!

Dead at 103. Cut down in the prime of life.

Too many great films to list that will live on for centuries.

Great actors in the gene pool, too.

Well done.

RIP Kirk.

Wonder how his meeting with Jean Spangler went

imagine making it to 103

RIP.

Not too many left from that era.

The only two I can think of are Olivia de Haviland (103) and Norman Lloyd (105).

He had the BALLS to demand that black-listed screenwriter Dalton Trumbo be fully credited for his collaboration to "Spartacus".

And back in 1959 that was a bold move, a tad more courageous that tweeting #metoo.

There's also the Natalie Wood rumors.

Ace in The Hole - great film.

RIP, Kirk.

That’s the one! I need to watch it again.

A great actor with movies like Spartacus, The Vikings, Lonely are the brave, Gunfight at the O.K. corral, but also funny in Cactus Jack and Tough Guys (with Burt Lancaster).

R.I.P. Kirk Douglas.

Tough Guys is a funny one...saw it as a kid and loved it. Haven't seen it in AGES. Also starred Dana Carvey and Eli Wallach.

103 I still have 38 years to go it will be in the late 50's......
Great actor and a great face I remember as youngster, especially his hole in his chin

RIP Kirk Douglas, Mr Spartacus himself, great film that by then unknown director Stanley Kubrick . 103, what an amazing age to reach in good health after a stroke 24 years ago, just goes to show it's not over until it's over.
