RIP Ernest Borgnine

Taken from Wiki:

Each year, a dinner is held in Borgnine's honour by Tortilla Flats, a Mexican restaurant in Manhattan's West Village. In addition to sitting in booths decorated with his photos, dinner guests answer trivia questions while wearing sailor hats and Borgnine masks.
 
My favourite was........

Emperor of the North Pole (Twentieth Century-Fox, 1973)
Ernest Borgnine portrays Shack, a brutal railroad bull who conducts his own vendetta against the hobos trying to ride his train during the Great Depression. Borgnine’s Shack sets the tone early, stalking a freeloading hobo and gleefully knocking him to his death between the passing rails below. Lee Marvin and Keith Carradine also appear, winningly playing two hobos who challenge Shack’s sadistic reign. “Don’t worry, Shack,” one fellow calls out to the hated railroad guard. “We'll keep a place for you in the jungle. Six feet down.”
Great Borgnine line (to Keith Carradine’s Cigaret, whom he is pursuing on top of the train): “Got yourself a game leg, hey kid? You should have jumped off! That would have been the smart thing to do. You should have jumped, kid! I got to hand it to you, kid, you're smart. You play both sides against the middle. Have yourself a high old time. But now it's lasted long enough. Oh, you can keep running, kid, but you're running out of train!”

Great film.
