I remember one of the last scenes in "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" where his father explains to him that he owes him because of all he has done as his father and you are totally in agreement with the father then Sidney's character replies and it turns all around and you get his point... one of the best scenes and writing as well as acting in a movie, in my opinion. Oh, but I also remember when the old 'plantation owning' white guy slaps him In The Heat of the Night and he immediately slaps him back. My Native American Name: "Runs with Scissors" | |||

Thank you for your (military) service to this country and for choosing silver screen roles that demonstrated the depth of human character. RIP Dear Sir. | |||

Three hilarious scenes from Shoot to Kill. he should have gotten as Oscar for them. Good bye, Mr. Tibbs. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

He was a very fine actor and I always enjoyed his movies. RIP ------------------------------- Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out. - David Horowitz | |||

I had a sense about him a while back when someone else passed away in the Hollywood business. I forget which actor it was but it occurred to me to see if Sydney was still alive. Wikipedia said he was but he was old. So I watch Lilies on YouTube. Wouldn’t it be something if we could all stay in our prime? You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier | |||

A good actor with many memorable roles. RIP. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

His bones were made with those classics listed above. But in his later years, he made a few somewhat lesser films, but his participation made them so much better than they would have been. Some that come to mind are Sneakers, The Jackal and The Bedford Incident. He lent an air of legitimacy and professionalism to just about anything. He had class. RIP sir. I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. -Ecclesiastes 9:11 | |||

One of my favorite movies. I just watched it again last month. Mother:We build a shapel. Smith: That's very nice. What's a "shapel"?  _____________________________________________________________________ “Civilization is not inherited; it has to be learned and earned by each generation anew; if the transmission should be interrupted for one century, civilization would die, and we should be savages again." - Will Durant | |||
