You sat on the edge of the bed, didn’t ya? You took off your shoes, put your finger between your toes and picked your feet didn’t ya!? |

The Package, saw it many years ago, I just remember it was real good
|
|
|
|
Best movie he was in is Unforgiven
Best movie he was the lead in is Mississippi Burning |
|
|
I like him in No Way Out and French Connection
Quick and the Dead is underrated. |
|
One I really enjoyed was THE PACKAGE. probably because it came out the year after I came home from Germany.
|
|
Unforgiven with French Connection a close second.
The problem with Hackman is that he’s been in eleventy-thousand movies. He’s brilliant in some, and totally mails it in for others. Consistently getting work for this long, however, is quite an achievement. |

Of the ones I've seen, No Way Out was pretty good. But you can only get that feeling on the first watch.

The Conversation. Or, The French Connection. Flip a coin.
Gene Hackman is probably the last American male actor Modern-Hollywood will ever produce, sadly. He's had a very good run......... |

Target.
If I see you again, I won’t see you again. One of my favorite lines. |

French Connection is his high water mark. Unforgiven is his best character. The Conversation is a hidden gem. But his character in Uncommon Valor made me cry in one scene. View Quote Let me guess--The scene where he kind of wakes up from a dream? I think The Unforgiven WAS his best character. A villain posing as a hero. |
|
Maybe not one of his best, but I just saw March or Die. Pretty good French Foreign Legion film.

I'm just waiting for someone to post Crimson Tide so I can say, "I concur".

He was absolutely a scene stealer in Get Shorty, great in Bat 21 and Mississippi Burning, but I think one of his finest performances was in Heist. Mamet knew how to bring out the best in him, IMHO.
|
|
Not his best, but his character in Enemy of the State was very good.
