Heh, no kidding...those two movies (Young Frankenstein and Blazing Saddles) are high in my pantheon of exceptional comedy and satire!

I don’t recall the name, but that movie where he gets shot down in Vietnam in enemy territory, then uses the various golf course’s holes to get to safety.

“Okay, every yard is a kilometer. I’m going to play Hole #4 at Augusta first.” Based on a true story iirc.

Uncommon Valor.I still remember the scene where his little boy comes into the room telling him he is scared of the dark and Hackman holds out his hand.

In Absolute Power, he was one despicable, villainous President. E.G. Marshall gave him his due!

One of Clint Eastwood’s best films.

My brother met the real Bat 21 years ago and he had a license plate that said that!
