For me I thought he made "Die Hard" as Hans Gruber. Of course his portrayal of Professor Severus Snape on Harry Potter movies.
One of my favorite parts he played on a comedy was Alexander Dane (the "Spock") on Galaxy Quest along with Tim Allen and Sigourney Weaver.
That's 3 now with Natalie Cole, David Bowie and Alan Rickman all close to the same age.

    I nearly cried this morning in the car when I heard he passed away! He was so brilliant in everything he did (Harry Potter and Love Actually being my two favorites).

    You forgot Lemmy in your count, and Angus Scrimm makes five. This has been a rough start to the year for talented people.

    He had one of the more recognizable and unique voices. Very sad to hear the news this morning. The first person I thought of was my niece who was a big fan of the Harry Potter books and absolutely loved Rickman as Professor Snape in the movies.

    His final work will be Alice Through the Looking Glass.

    "And when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain, he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer." Benefits of a classical education.

    He could definitely play a badass role.
