You could say it about any great screen presence who leaves too soon, but Leslie is one of those where I do stop from time to time and wonder what he might have gifted us had he still been here.

If you do watch it you must let me know what you think. It’s perhaps my favourite Coppola; I’m sure most would (understandably) disagree, but I just really love it.

It took me four attempts to finally watch The Conversation because I somehow always fired it up later of an evening, and something about the tone of that movie totally relaxes me (at least until that moment later on). To this day it’s my “comfort snooze” and one of my absolute favourite movies.

Edit: also The Andromeda Strain
