I'm fighting Cancer and my Motto is Never give up, Never Surrender ...I tell it to everyone, best Motto ever

This film had it all; humor, heart and story. It satirized Star Trek without being mean spirited. Always worth seeing again.

Alan was the KING of dry humor timing. Always nailed it. Rest in peace, Alan. We won't forget you.

Ive always thought that the only way to know what is "real art" is to wait 20 years and see if its still worth seeing. Galaxy Quest is great art.

"He was the first movie star...who wanted to be my friend."--Enrico Colantoni Kinda says it all.

The most charming thing I heard about the late, lamented Alan Rickman was from Daniel Radcliff. It was the first movie and Alan came and sat with him and Radcliff said: "what was astounding was, he was giving me acting tips and he was talking to me as a fellow actor, not a child".

From Sense and Sensibility to Die Hard to Galaxy Quest to Harry Potter, now that is range. A great actor and a great man.

I swear, that scene where he says his ''By Grabthars Hammer line'' for a dying Quellek gets me emotional every time I see it. The way he said it with such conviction for his biggest fan in his last moments. He was a wonderful actor.

Galaxy Quest is one of the absolute all-time underrated movies. It is near criminal that this movie was panned as much as it was back in the day. It's a love letter to Sci-Fi movies and their fans and it makes me happier every time I watch it.

Alan is that rare set of actors and is up there with James Earl Jones and Morgan Freeman where you just cant stop hearing his voice or just cant stop watching their performance. It is just those rare gifts that cant compare...

Alan was the only actor who could have made a line like “By Grabthar’s Hammer” work.

Alan was a legendarily good actor One actor on Harry Potter was having genuine problems at home and says Alan saved him from going completely crazy, because only Alan actually noticed he was having a bad time. Alan picked up on the issues the guy was hiding brilliantly from everyone else. It says a lot more than people realise because some actors can be going through hell at home yet there’s no clue on set, but he saw it. Ken Branagh said “Alan could see past your public ‘everything’s fine’ face in seconds and always knew the right time to catch you and let you know he was there for you… even fluffing lines so that you got a second take because though the director was happy he could see you weren’t, so he ensured you got that chance to go again, even though he’d done his part perfectly or when it was his scene, he’d do something that made the director go again just so you felt good…right about what you’d done…and he’d do it for everyone from the star to the extra… he wanted everyone to have their spot and get to shine”

This movie is up there with The Princess Bride as far as I'm concerned

"It's been fun. Intermittently." That's the best line of the video, and best characterizes who Alan Rickman was.

"He was the first movie star that wanted to be my friend." Lost it on that one. :'(

Rickman was a thespian in the truest sense. In Galaxy Quest, he delivered the " Grabthar " line with such emotion, it is the most memorable scene in the film. He was a beautiful, talented man.

What make "Galaxy Quest" so great is it makes fun of the actors rather than the fans.

Alan Rickman. The master. The essence of decency and calm. The actor who always entranced me.

Whenever I meet someone new and ask them, "What's the best Star Trek movie?" if they say Galaxy Quest, I know i've made a great friend.

When I first watched "Galaxy Quest", I was completely blown away by how good it all was. Everything clicked with this movie.

I loved how Alan was never seen out of his prosthetic, even in scenes when at home. This is the hint as to his character’s angst and conflict over the role: he could not let go, even while he hated it.

Alan Rickman is one of those artists that I continually mourn the absence of. I’ll never get over the loss of him.

"Where are you going?" "To see if there's a pub!" LMAO

Greatest serious spoof of Star Trek ever. And I still cry every time Quellek dies satisfied by the heartfelt pledge of "By Grabthar's Hammer..."

Alan Rickman was an awesome actor, and since his passing, the world is a sadder place without him.

The “You broke the bloody ship!” Line has always stuck with me. When I saw him on Harry Potter I would always say it.

Galaxy Quest is so under rated. It's hilariously good.

"Truly, Madly, Deeply" - one of his best.

His best line was ‘I see you managed to get your shirt off.’

Quelleks death scene still makes me cry. Such a great film, start to finish.

Alan Rickman was one of my favorite actors. Watching this and hearing the stories made me laugh hysterically and appreciate him even more. RIP Alan.

His character was the soul of the movie. Stole the show. A perfectly entertaining, very underrated, film

Alan's “By Grabthar’s Hammer....” moment in the film to Quellek always brings tears to my eyes.

That scene where the alien is dying and Rickman gives his little speech that he had given so many times earlier that he had come to DESPISE it...only this time he said it with passion and feeling that brought tears to my eyes. "By Grabthar's Hammer...you shall be avenged".

this is the sweetest tribute co-stars had ever given to Alan

"By Grabthar's Hammer, by the Sons of Warvan, you shall be avenged." The most touching line in any movie.

I'm saddened by Alan's passing, and also disappointed because the series was going to happen but didn't due to his death.. but they are right to not go through with the series... it just won't be the same without him.

He was the scene stealer as Metatron in Dogma, so deadpan so Allan Rickman so bloody brilliant.

One of the best family movies ever made imo. The perfect cast lineup. RIP Alan Rickman you were a monster of an actor and will be remembered forever!

"Why spoon?". "Because it will hurt more!".

I couldn't help but cry ... I miss Alan, I really miss him ... and I feel bad.

No one could portray self loathing better than when he said “By Grabthars hammer........what a savings”. The pause was perfect.

Galaxy Quest is a true great, brilliantly written with perfect casting, especially Alan. And yeah, when he finally delivers that line in the most honest serious fashion it was a real goosebumpy emotional moment.

Galaxy Quest is a rare thing. Even as it is a spot on, hilarious parody of certain kinds of science fiction, especially Star Trek, it manages to be a compelling suspenseful drama, too.

He was such a great actor who created a great movie character. It is too bad he could not have lived long enough to do the series. He is missed.

The industry spoke highly of him, even before his passing. A giant.

7:21 Yep laughed my ass off through the whole movie, then balled like a newborn in that scene. Alan such a consummate actor, a joy to watch him churn every nuance and hidden humorous moments out of villainous roles. The first Harry Potter movie I told my brother. Snape isn't a bad guy, he's going to turn out to be the secret hero.

Alan Rickman brought something critical to Galaxy Quest. He will be missed.

Thank you for this video. Seeing people who share stories about Alan makes me feel like he's still alive. Especially with stories we never heard of. Thank you!

4:43 Sigourney chokes up. That says it all. This man is so missed. What a voice and actor.

Honestly I can't deal with all the vids addressing his death, I just want to live in my lil bubble where he's still alive in my heart.

Sigourney looks amazing. Good tribute to Alan, R.I.P.

Dr. Lazarus, Professor Snape...such a sad loss to the movie industry.

I shared this with a friend of mine who had never seen Galaxy Quest. Now that he has seen it, he won't shut up. And I'm loving every second of it.

I love his body of work, but am ESPECIALLY fond of his role as the Metatron in DOGMA...💕💕💕

I’ve watched this numerous times and every time it makes me cry. RIP Alan Rickman.

Such a marvelous, underrated movie. It's kind of a test for new friends: I make them watch it and if they don't find it equally hilarious and deeply moving, they don't become dear friends, but only remain acquaintances.

What a wonderful actor, and from all that I've seen and read, human. The world is less bright without him.

I have to admit, just by searching for something else about Galaxy Quest I’m sitting here in tears. Not am I British and having watched Alan Rickman in many thing other than this movie his presence is missed in many of the movies I watch where I’m thinking, you know Alan Rickman would perfect this role, whether a bad guy or a good guy with a heart of gold, my thinking he personally was the latter.

Wil Wheaton hit the nail right on the head; Alan was so much more than Harry Potter. Die Hard, Quigley Down Under, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, Dogma, Something the Lord Made....I can't think of any part that he wasn't capable of playing.

Floods of tears after watching this. Alan is so missed❤Xx

He’s one of the main reasons I have seen “BOTTLE SHOCK” maybe 10 + times, and Quigley Down Under, after seeing him for the first time in “DIE HARD”, the year it came out. I’ve seen Galaxy Quest at least 10 times all or in part.

It was such an unexpected gem of a movie. It pays a reverential tribute to Star Trek and the fans so well, that to this day it is considered one of the best Star Trek movies, (without actually being S.T.), ever made.

What a wonderful film and really multileveled. My favorite Rickman line from Galaxy Quest was, ‘Are we there yet?’ What a fun, fun movie!

Alan Rickman was such a versatile actor. I don't think there was a role he couldn't play and more than that, he would own it. He was utterly fantastic in every role but every so often, my romantic side yearns to see Sense and Sensibility. And Galaxy Quest is my Sci-fi comedy favorite. But every movie I've seen him in, was great because he was in it.

Another Alan Rickman Fan... I see all these actors and recognize where I saw them first--and then come to the realization that I also recognize them from the movie. Oh, this movie is so underrated, as are all the performances, Alan's especially.

His work speaks volumes about the man, he will be sadly missed by those who knew him as a man of great depth and versatility in acting.

Alan Rickman's oath as Dr. Lazarus made me tear up. He's a great actor that will be terribly missed.

He'll always be Hans Gruber! I really miss him. Such an endearing talent.....

I cry like a bitch at 7:05 everytime I watch GQ,his tone,delivery..everything is on point,perfection.

I wish Gene could have seen this movie. When I saw it, I knew little of Alan's work, but I remember how impressed I was by what he brought to the part, and how well he worked with the rest of the cast. In the golden age, this was called "star quality."

Oh man, watched Star Trek! my kids were born in 86,and 88.. got a huge kick from Galazy Quest. I adored Alan Rickman. I knew him from Die Hard, Sense and Sensibilities. And every Xmas we'd play Die Hard on big screen ... Cuz it's just not Christmas until you see Hans Gruber falling off . Too see him join the H.P. franchise was brillant. His last movie, Eye in the Sky was great. Loved the idea of a Galazy Quest Part 2. Yet not without Alan. 👍💗

Beside him did Severus Snape role, Alan Rickman was the one of the best actors who made it known to all of us since the 90s. He was an amazing & versatile actor. He will be sadly missed. His death was unexpected but we will never forget his sarcastic & deep voice & his works. Rest In Heaven Alan, always. ❤🙏🏾✌🏾

He did a tv show years and years ago. Barchester Chronicles. His Obadiah Slope was probably the first "Rickman" thing. He was wonderful.

One of my favorite movies. Smiles and a fist pump to the chest.

Every time I watch Galaxy Quest again, it is inevitably to hear that one line, performed by Alan, with such gravitas and conviction.

I was lucky enough to see it when Galaxy Quest first came out...and by a miracle, I saw it on the evening after I'd left a Science Fiction Con in Boston. I was COMPLETELY Primed to get ALL of the jokes. It was a beautiful experience.

"They're minors, not miners." That will never lose it's appeal.

I never would have believed upon first viewing, that this would become one of my top five movies of all time, but it after rewatching it so many time, admittedly at first for fun...it is layered, meaningful and rich. I treasure it and reference it when explaining to people, you are always a role model, even when you don’t know someone is watching. This remembrance of Alan made me weepy!

That gorgeous voice..i miss him so much. 😔

Thank you for posting this. I cried, he was so wonderful. And I loved Galaxy Quest, it was an awesome film. I can't count how many times I have watched it.

I’m scrolling through the comments and I’m glad I’m not the only one crying watching this 😭😭 seriously what a man he was ✨ you can see how deeply everyone loved him and miss him. My goodness even us that never actually met him! Alan we miss you dearly ❤️✨🥺

Alan Rickman was amazing. A couple of lesser-known movies that he did...and I totally love him in...was "Bottle Shock", and "Blow Dry".

He died too young, usually an actor passing makes me shrug because eh, just a guy that plays a part. But Alan Rickman's death hit me really, really hard.

I've been around a few years, nearly 50, and I've read of actors passing here and there, and while some have made me utter phrases like 'oh, that's a shame', never before did I feel a real, genuine gut-punch as the morning i read of Alan's passing. It knocked the wind from my sails and I had to take an early lunch to get get my shit together. I never even met the guy, but that really knocked me for six.

That scene when Alan says the line to Quelleg brings me to tears every time! And I have lost count how many times I watch this movie!

I miss Alan. He had his own special wit and charisma. Bless you Alan!

A great actor. Serious funny and a man. He made characters 'come alive'. I saw him in a film of an English Panto (live theatre), peter pan, and he was Captain Hook. the man was perfect. So many movies, so many roles and impeccably acted. But that panto performance showed how he could be serious and ridiculous at the same time. Excellent acting and the role I remember him most for.

Alan Rickman was SO under rated... very tragic. So many appearances, so little time. That guy KILLED it! Respect has no boundries...

As a die hard fan of Alan's for years (and still to do this day). When I found out about his death. I was devastated. I remember I was just getting up and my friend text me and told me he died. I couldn't handle it. I went back into bed and cried for hours. And I never even met the man. But his work, his movies got me through a lot of the pain and torment I went through with bullying in school. So he meant a lot to me. I even got picked on because of Alan. Because he was my favorite actor. But I still loved his acting. You could tell he put his heart and soul in every piece he did. If I was depressed or upset. I would pop in a movie of Alan's and feel better almost immediately. So god bless you, Alan Rickman. And RIP. Your forever missed. By your family, friends, fellow actors, and fans.

Okay, you got me to cry. I hope you're happy. RIP, Alan Rickman; you are sorely missed.

I saw 'Galaxy Quest' on 'Dish' a few years ago and I thought "Well, this is gonna' suck but it's the only thing on right now"...and after a few minutes it 'pulled me in'. (*What if it were you on some cheesy 'Star Trek' thing and actual *REAL ALIENS* showed-up and wanted your help?*) Rickman used his 'Liverpool/Manchester Droll Humor' so well that it seemed as-if he were 'channeling John Lennon' somehow and the scene with Weaver repeating back all the answers from the 'Ship's Computer' when *EVERYONE* already heard what was said was just priceless...! I have to give the movie a 'thumbs-up' for the laughs I got.

"I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously" (Alan Rickman)

How many times have you turned the channel and Galaxy Quest was playing. No matter what part of the movie was playing, you stayed for the rest practically knowing each line that would follow and enjoyed it just as much. I think it has reached a Rocky Horror kind of fame.

Thanks for posting. Alan Rickman was a giant. Galaxy Quest is a classic.

Galaxy Quest is one of my all time favorite movies, and Alan Rickman is one of my all time favorite actors. He IS missed and will continue to be missed. He was a truly exceptional actor, able to play both Good Guys and Bad Guys with equal awesomeness. My regret is that I never got to meet him in person.

Such a wonderful actor, who will always be missed!! Great in all of his rolls, he should have had at least another 20 years to enchant us with his wonderful performances! It still amazes me that his first movie role was in ‘Die Hard’. He owned that role and gave it his all. He was great in ‘Bottle Shock’, ‘Sense and Sensibility’, ‘’Robin Hood: ‘Prince of Thieves’ ( he stole that movie, as I rewatch it just to see him), ‘Love Actually’, ‘Quigley Down Under’, ‘Something The Lord Made’(should have gotten an Emmy), and of course: The Harry Potter movies. He was in others, I haven’t seen them all yet. I was so shocked by his death, it was as if he was a beloved family member! Thanks for sharing this with all of us who will always mourn his passing.

the excerpt from the Movie Show was so delightful to see. Margaret and Dave literslly shaped my childhood.

Galaxy Quest…such a wonderful & underrated movie!!!

I miss Alan Rickman,he was such a great actor. He was taken from us way too early. God bless him.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
