I had my reservations with Alan Rickman in the past, but Die Hard really changed my opinion of him. After Die Hard, I was a fan. I have lots of his movies, most of the reasons why I watched those movies is because Alan Rickman was there. Films like Quigley Down Under, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Perfume, Sweeney Todd and of course Harry Potter. It's his voice and the way he uses it on film. There is a certain flair in him and calculated angst that sets him apart from the rest. One of my favorite british artists.
