I happened to google him and found out he had died just over a week ago.
He is best known for his soul-chilling thriller Spoorloos (aka The Vanishing). There's a small Truefilm thread on The Vanishing here.
The Vanishing (1988)
D. W. Griffith's Orphans of the Storm (1921) preceeds it.
Pls
Movies on a Thursday night are a rare occasion for me. I leave most films for weekends; however, I recently ended up discovering a film while I had downtime at work. I knew I had to see the film when I got home. One of the best feelings I’ve had is kicking off my shoes after a long day at work or having fairly lonesome time in the bathroom. As the day grew quicker to dawn, I began winding up my work and left the job. I sat in my Toyota corolla for two minutes in raging heat and discovered that it was actually in a list of movies I’ve wanted to see. I dashed home, kicked off my shoes, cleaned up my face in the bathroom and opened up my black MacBook in the bedroom. I adjusted my pillows incase I hunched and searched for “Watch The Vanishing (1988) Online.” After .32 seconds of looking through several searches, I found a copy of it on Youtube.
The Vanishing (Spoorloos) is a Dutch-French film based on a novel, “The Golden Egg” by Tim Krabbe. George Sluzier directs the film. The Vanishing revolves around a couple on a weekend vacation in France. Rex and Saskia stop at a gas station to grab coke and beer when Sasika (Johanna ter Steege) mysteriously disappears outside the gas station. Her lover, Rex (Gene Bervotes) is on a quest to search for her. Three years later, Rex has moved on with his life physically, although, emotionally haunted by her disappearance. He receives a postcard from her abductor and reboots his quest to search for him and Sasika. The Vanishing is a haunting thriller and Sulizer brilliantly executes a well-layered film. As Rex accelerates to his hunt, he is haunted by a dream once Sasika had. The film has a tantalizing storyline. The film narrates a manipulative obsession towards a horrible experiment. The Vanishing is an intense and unsettling thriller. This film made me stay up all night because it was too, chilling.

I guess the concept didn't work
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB
Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"
I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual
So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes
r/unclejokes for dirty jokes
r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC
r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes
Punchline !
Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub
Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat
Do your worst!
How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?
Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.
But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.
They were cooked in Greece.
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
He lost May
Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.
Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?
Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"
Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
I think it might be one of the meanest films I've ever seen. I think it honestly rivals some of Michael Heneke's work (which can be real nasty). I thought it was a bit overhyped until the last 30 minutes which changed that opinion drastically. The juxtaposition between the lighter scene at the start in the car and the ending was absolutely genius. I really loved it and would highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it but I won't be rewatching it in a hurry. Anyone else seen it/got any thoughts on it?
Also I'm not familiar with the director George Sluizer, is any of his other work worth exploring?
And now I’m cannelloni
Because she wanted to see the task manager.
But that’s comparing apples to oranges
And boy are my arms legs.
Put it on my bill
Heard they've been doing some shady business.
but then I remembered it was ground this morning.
Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale
Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments
They’re on standbi
A play on words.
Calcium, nickel, neon
They just don’t work!

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.
