I cannot even begin to name my favorite movies from him as there are way too many. RIP Mr. Duvall.

OMG, from Boo in "To kill a Mockingbird" to "The great Santini" to TV's "Lonesome Dove", to "Network" to "Tender Mercies".... the list goes on and on and on

Loved him as Bob Hodges in "Colors"; his pivotal role as Tom in the first two Godfather movies (how pivotal could be seen in how the 3rd film faltered without his character as Coppola in hindsight conceded), I thought of his roles in "The Judge", "A Civil Action" , again the list is endless

and of course Colonel William , "the smell of napalm in the morning." from "Apocalypse now"

This! Two of my favourite quotes/speeches in movie history were by him. Apocalypse now and his story about the old bull in Colors. Fantastic!

The thing is , when a movie is good, most actors can cruise or hold their own. Duvall even made otherwise unwatchable movies better by just being in them ! Think Deep Impact.

Another one I liked him in was "Falling Down" with Michael Douglas. One that flew under the radar a little.

R.I.P Neil.

Really was a gifted and one of greatest singer-songwriters of his generation.
