I always think of this one
But Cracker was good too. I think it’s been swept under the rug because a lot of themes that were edgy in the 90s are, um, not OK today

I’m anaspeptic, phrasmotic, even compunctuous to hear about Mr. Coltrane’s recent mortal cessation. No pericombobulation or contrafibularities I assure you.

He and Minnie Driver stole the nightclub scene from Pierce Brosnan in Goldeneye.
Robbie Coltrane made the most of all of his roles!

His programme about Diesel engines was a superb peaen to the now much maligned engine.

Greatest Robbie scene ever - from The Supergrass.
My favourite part comes right after this, when he assembles the weapon he’s been carrying in the cello case, then leaps into the sea and dismantles a sailboat with his Chainsaw!

That is a perfectly cromulent reaction.

Is it bad that I most remember his cable over-broadcasted role with Eric Idle in Nuns on the Run?

It is not bad.

His turn as Falstaff in Kenneth Branagh’s (best) film HENRY V is fantastic. The look he gives when he gets the old “I know thee not, old man” from Hal is worth the price of admission.
