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.

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.
Both groundbreakers for black actors, one produced and filmed in the US and one in the UK.

Good bye, Mr. Tibbs.

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?

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.

One of my favorite movies. I just watched it again last month.
