I was fortunate to attend a book signing Ernie held in Pasadena. My friend Jangoz and I attended and had our picture taken with him. He was at the table alone no agent, no publicity people and the line was a block long yet he took the time to talk with us like we were friends stopping by to say hello.

      I must have read a 1/2 dozen obits about him, with not a single mention of "The Wild Bunch" - unbelievable.

            The movie I first remember seeing him in was The Poseidon Adventure. I loved him in it. He was so stubborn, but without being considered the villain of the movie. He was very memorable in it. The... more

              The first thing I remember seeing him in was FROM HERE TO ETERNITY. I hated him and he scared the bejeezus out of me.

                      Yes Ernest Borgnine made this movie in 1988. Directed by Paul Morrissey. It's one of the most offensive movies ever about Italians, but it's also very funny. As an Italian-American I should be... more

                        I know he appeared in a lot of duds...just to keep working. But what actor has appeared in more classic films than him?
