    RIP. An excellent film critic and one who wore his learning lightly - unlike many critics today, who habitually include in their reviews a reference to an obscure film or director who their readers won't have heard of just to show how smart they are.

    Sounds like a good guy and had a decent knock. And slipped away in his sleep, sounds like a good way to go.

    Loved his reviews back in the 70's and 80's. He had one of those voices that you never forget. RIP Barry.

    He was never scathing, sarcastic or insulting.....sensible, polite, and reasoned criticism was his hallmark, he came across as a gentleman and in fact that's exactly what he was......a gentleman.
