Would it be Lex Luthor in the original SUPERMAN Franchise. Or could it be a lot of roles including that one? I have NOT seen many of his films so to me he is forever Lex luthor

shareThat's hard, he was such a constant presence for so long that I think people just knew him, not so much for any role in particular. I'd probably say The French Connection, but I guess it is true that Superman was actually the first thing I saw him in.
Everything was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt!
Through the 70's and 80's, it was clearly THE FRENCH CONNECTION. But I know several younger folks who know him best from THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS. Three other films he's a high visible presence in are THE POSEIDEN ADVENTURE, MISSISSIPPI BURNING and UNFORGIVEN. What am I leaving out? Oh, yeah, THE CONVERSATION and as the OP stated, the SUPERMAN franchise.
shareWelcome to Mooseport. :)
There. It's on the Internet. Thus it's official
Probably not what he's "best" remembered for, but when he was dressed in drag towards the end of "The Birdcage", it etched a (hysterically funny) memory in my collection of favorite Hackman movie moments. He is arguably my favorite actor of all time, and I've seen a movie or five thousand in my time lol...
Right. Well, I have to-- I have to go now, Duane, because I, I'm due back on the planet Earth.
I'm another that thinks The French Connection.
i think the royal tenenbaums or get shorty
shareBecause it was the first time I saw him - he will always be Clyde's brother Buck from "Bonnie and Clyde."
Don't sell that cow!
