Your contributions to imagi-cinema are staggering, thanks to the Goonies; the Lost Boys; Ladyhawke; Scrooged; Timeline; the Omen; Omen III; Superman: the Movie; Superman II (the re-edited cut); and the X-Men series.
Your involvement in the Free Willy and Lethal Weapon franchises is just as legendary, but let's not bypass your exemplary work on Conspiracy Theory; the Toy; Delirious; Assassins; Lola; X-15; Salt and Pepper; Radio Flyer; 16 Blocks; Man from U.N.C.L.E; the Fugitive; Kojak; Combat!; Gilligan's Island; Get Smart; the Wild Wild West; Wanted Dead or Alive; Have Gun - Will Travel; Wagon Train; the Rifleman; Ironside; Perry Mason; the F.B.I.; the Streets of San Francisco; Mr. Novak; Route 66; Ghost Story; the Twilight Zone; Tales from the Crypt; the big-screen Maverick; and one of my near-to-the-heart favorites, Inside Moves.
As a director/producer, you were the high standard to follow, a man who impacted our dreams and pop culture to the extreme. Your departure hits hard, Mr. Donner, but your artistic gifts will keep us afloat with revisited and relished delight.
