Very strange indeed. Great actor. Favorite movies of his that I have seen were Enemy of the State, Unforgiven, Crimson Tide, The Firm, and Hoosiers.

couldn't stand him...so, i guess he was that good of actor.

always with the sinister energy or undertones. bonnie & clyde, french connection, no way out...etc.

rip...and my first thought was he was responsible for the 2 deceased and dog.

The Royal Tenenbaums has got to be my favorite of his, but he was great in a lot.

Hoosiers. It’s a shame he’s not around to see the Luka/Reaves/Knecht Lakers. I’ll always remember him for his role in the Oscar winning film Heartbreakers, a movie better known for its scenery than his turn as a wealthy, albeit congested tobacco baron. RIP.

Also - wife was 32 years younger than him and married him when she was 29 and he 61. She hung around for a pay day that never came. RIP.

very low-key and under the radar....I cannot think of a more versatile character actor. He could play anyone. My favorites / first movies of Gene Hackman that come to mind: The Firm, Hoosiers, Crimson Tide.

He may have had better roles, those are my favs.

The Bird Cage was great. Hank Azaria should have been in way more movies.

I watched No Way Out earlier this year for the first time. One of the worst movies I have ever seen.

The Quick and the Dead, Enemy of the State and Unforgiven are my favorites, even thought quick and dead was an awful movie.

Jennifer Love Hewitt?

That was a conscious choice intended to reflect character growth.

Dude, come on. Worthwhile just for Sean Young.

The Quick and the Dead is great if for nothing else than a hot Sharon Stone and Tarantinoesque violence.

Dirty White Female is the Sharon Stone movie I prefer.

“The Conversation” is a great slow burn. “Mississippi Burning” was another great one.

I'm sure this is an outre opinion on this board but I've always found McDormand attractive and she was really good in Mississippi Burning.

I guess I didn't realize it when watching the movies, but Kevin Costner is a monotone, boring actor.

the scene with the head of the cia (fred thompson) and the senator (howard duff) was prior to modern political correctness.

senator - "i'll be God-damned"

cia chief - "so will he, if you believe in the bible...he's a homosexual"

haha. poor will patton. excellent as the all-consumed and all-troubled homosexual aide to hackman's sec. of defense. good movie, i'd give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

I liked her when she was pregnant in Wonder Boys.

Also excellent as Ox Knowles in Ryan's Hope. I used to schedule my classes so I could watch All My Children. Catching Ryan's Hope as the lead-in was a bonus.

Ox was the bad boy who hooked up with good girl E.J. Ryan.

I hadn't watched Olive Kitteridge since it came out like ten years ago, so I restarted it the other night. It's even bleaker than I remember it being, and I knew it to be bleak. Maybe it hits harder now, I don't know. But it's up there as one of her best performances.

I saw The French Connection, for the first time, a couple of months ago. That car/el train chase was intense even by 2025 standards. I can't imagine what people must have thought about it 50+ years ago.

OK so what else kills two people and a dog in the middle of the night with no signs of “foul play”? Poisoned ?
