  I mean, he was an excellent villain in Tank Girl…

  Time After Time is a rip-roarin’ good time, McDowell plays HG Wells, who uses his time machine to go to San Francisco in the late-70s, in pursuit of Jack The Ripper (the always excellent David Warner)!

  Some people say O Lucky! Man is a very good film, but I haven’t seen it yet, and the three hours runtime sounds a bit daunting.

  Then both Cat People and Blue Thunder are fine films. But it does seem that after the early 80s, most of his roles are simple “payment jobs”, not for any sort of artistic statement.
  Which is a shame, as McDowell has always been a considerable screen talent and presence.

      The whole Wing Commander series was solid gold. They did well getting some well known actors in III and P2.

      Privateer and Privateer 2 were my favourites, followed by the episodic one that I forget the name of.
