I'm genuinely gutted about this one 
. He was a brilliant actor. I think when I get home I'll have to watch the clip of him quoting La Muerta in Truly Madly Deeply.

I loved his role in Galaxy Quest.
He seemed to specialise in that world-weary, cynical role which made him the perfect choice as Severus Snape.

"Truly, madly, deeply" was one of my favorite movies . I enjoyed him in everything I saw him do.

There is a wonderful love story there too - he recently married the woman who was his partner since they met at 18 and 19 years of age.

Rip Mr Rickman 
He perfected wry cynicism in his characters. Love Galaxy Quest.

I'm reading "Barchester Towers" right now. Didn't realize there had been a movie version with Rickman in it.... Imagining Rickman as Slope is goiong to add to my enjoyment of the book. 
RIP Alan Rickman

I usually avoid Kevin Costner movies like the plague, but I am going to make a point of watching Robin Hood so I can see Rickman as Sheriff of Nottingham.
Gutted.

Barchester Chronicles was a TV series with a superb group of actors involved.
