LIVE POLL: Favorite Donald Sutherland Movie Character

Sadly, Donald Sutherland (17 July 1935 – 20 June 2024) passed away in June 2024. The Canadian actor's career spanned six decades with over 165 leading and supporting movie roles since his screen debut in 1963. Despite a long and meaningful career, Sutherland never received an Oscar-nomination for his film work. He is widely considered one of the best actors of his generation to have never received an Oscar-nomination, but was awarded an Honorary Academy Award in 2017 for his lifetime contributions. However, Sutherland did receive numerous accolades for his television work, including a Primetime Emmy and two Golden Globe Awards. For his service to the Arts of Canada, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada (OC) in 1978, a Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters in 2012, and received the Companion of the Order of Canada (CC) in 2019. In October 2023, Canada Post issued a stamp in his honor, commemorating his career as one of Canada's most respected and versatile actors. 

Which of these selected Donald Sutherland movie roles is your favorite one from his extensive list of film performances?

@urbanemovies  Hi Urb, 'so glad that you're doing this. I looked at the actual list on IMDb and I didn't notice any obvious omissions. I couldn't decide which four that I'd cut so good luck with that, lol. I'm guessing that you're thinking about cutting the last four because I noticed what I thought was some shorthand notes on the last four: I think that those seem like reasonable choices. 

Maybe add "In Memorium" to the poll title? Perhaps in parentheses at the end of the title? 

Kudos, again, for doing this poll. Wow, Sutherland was great.

Yes, he was. Too many good to great roles to list. I really had a hard time deciding as there seem to be least fifty viable candidates and least five to ten won't fit that decidedly deserve to be on the list.

I am on the fence on more than a few. It will probably come down to numbers with some award-nominated roles getting the boot along with some other <25k titles. I had these on the list to start, but I will provisionally boot them, but I don't how they can get back in.

ANY NOTABLE OMISSIONS OR QUESTIONABLE INCLUSIONS? I AM STILL VETTING, ADDING AND DELETING ANSWER OPTIONS, AS WELL AS, DEFINING SELECTION CRITERIA. SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME.

You got all on the list I can remember. He was impressive each time I saw him on screen.

Rest In Peace, Mr. Sutherland.

@Breumaster​ I tried logging in, updating the list, and reposting it on the thread. I think you should try logging in too, if the problem persists. It seems good on my end.

@urbanemovies ,

Thank you for creating this In Memoriam poll suggestion for Donald Sutherland. As others have pointed out, it is difficult to select one favorite.
