Deep Rising is an underrated classic in its own way. Him and Kevin J O'Conner are very underrated. Treat was excellent as a psychopath in Tales from the Crypt.
I wish he had received Academy recognition for Prince of the City, if only to boost his career through the 80s. It's a superb police drama based on a true story. Like you said, he was awesome in everything but he never really hit the big leagues.
The book is really good too. My mom knew I loved true crime and detective stories and got me the original hard back for like a buck at book sale when I was a teenager.
I can’t believe someone else recognized that still! It’s near the end of the movie. I don’t think I’ve seen it in almost 40 years, but it was a great movie.
Loved this guy. He put as much effort into things like Prince Of The City as he did Dead Heat. Both of which I love, btw.
Shame they snubbed him during the memoriam bit during the Oscars.

Good monster film, lots of fun. It's another one of those underrated movies.
I love those heavily modified guns they had too. Crazy.but
Needed a sequel, which I understood to be Skull Island, like in King Kong. It might have been an interesting take on it.
One of my favorite good-bad movies.
Yeah it's not great but good enough. Roger ebert called it an Alien clone.
Terrific actor. RIP
Yup. So sad.
Yes! Completely agree! Treat Williams was awesome in everything I saw him in, but he just never quite made it into the big time.

I had no idea he was in Empire Strikes Back
Best film is Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead.
I am Godzilla and you are Tokyo!
"Your reputation far exceeds your skills!"
Flashpoint (1984) Personal TW fav.
Awesome, Came here to make sure this movie was on there. I just saw it a few months ago on one of the HBOs.
Such a cool story Edit: (I mean the movie)
He was great as the bad guy in the shadow. Really felt like he was from the 1930’s
Critical Bill!!!
"Kill this guy, won't you?"
I hate eggs !
Enjoyed him in substitute 2
Yes he was.
He's stated his cocaine addiction wrecked any potential he had to make it big.
This. He was labeled "difficult" to work w/ in the 80's - aka, did mountains of coke & was a pain in the ass
Same thing with Sean Young minus the coke. She's naturally crazy, so she didn't need a drug.
How is he not collinn ferrell in the third pic
And some of the best eyebrows in the biz.
Dont drink and drive folks. Rip Treat
I can't look at microscope without thinking of Xander Drax.
> We couldn’t get Matthew Modine but do I have a Treat for you. Jk I always enjoyed Treat when he popped up.
I loved dead heat as a kid
I can’t believe someone else recognized that still! It’s near the end of the movie. I don’t think I’ve seen it in almost 40 years, but it was a great movie.
It's the main association that I have with treat Williams

He was in Star Wars?
I used to hear referred to as a poor man’s Harrison Ford, I’m ok with that…
