Always been one of my favorite actors.

Saw him come up in "trending"

Kind of forgot about Gene Hackman being that he retired some time ago.

I remember seeing The Poseidon Adventure and The French Connection when I was a kid. Two top rate movies in my opinion.

I also loved Hoosiers- the best sports movie of all-time in my opinion.

Loved The Unforgiven! One of my favorite westerns!

Not to mention he was a great Lex in Superman!

I also like Prime Cut, Lucky Lady, The Package, The Hunting Party, and Targets.

Seems like he never made a bad movie. If he's in the cast, it's usually worth watching.

The mantle of best actor working is passing to Christian Bale now.

I thought Absolute Power, Extreme Measures, and The Chamber were all pretty meh.

The Quick And The Dead- sort of a crappy film but his performance in it is excellent. It's a good vehicle to display his ability to instantly create shocking gravity.
