His movies were far from blockbusters but they have made a lasting impact. From his Performance in 1970 to 2007's Puffball:The Devil's Eyeball...he made some interesting movies.

Castaway (1986) is a favourite of mine. RIP Nic

Fucking WEIRD. Just finished watching Don't Look Now....

At lunch this afternoon my wife and I were talking about his The Witches...which got us talking about Roeg's The Man Who Fell To Earth....and then we get home and read about his passing...very very weird.

Quite fitting, though.

RIP.

Right. The Man Who Fell to Earth is one of my eight desert island films. Insignificance and Eureka are underrated gems.
