I think he was in “The Conversation”, which I liked a lot.

[omni-scientist]

I would like to add “Crimson Tide” to that list. You had two great actors Denzel Washington and Gene Hackman in opposing roles, in which you could sense the tremendous tension between them while they trade dominant positions in the story line.

[ArtDodger]

Was great in ‘The Package’, a retelling of the Kennedy killing, if the ending had been different. He played the good guy.

[BradyLS]

Please say you meant “Hoosiers!”

[gas_dr]

Is his name on the Epstein list? Did he know something was about to drop? Or it could be just CO posing.

[quilterdebbie]

That was a good one too!

[wintertime]

Carbon monoxide?

“I was going to make espresso” was a genius adlib. God rest his soul.

[Hyman Roth]

Lex Luthor. The greatest criminal mind ever.

[logi_cal869]

Great movie, lousy reporting here.

[rlmorel]

Mine are:

Unforgiven
Enemy of The State
The French Connection

And an honorable mention for his untitled appearance in Young Frankenstein!

[mware]

My favorite as a teen was Poseidon.

[Spacetrucker]

Mississippi Burning he was a good guy in.

[Gary from Dayton]

“My Gene Hackman favs are:

Mississippi Burning
Enemy of the State
Crimson Tide
The Firm”

no “Unforgiven”?

[Jonah Hex]

“Marooned” and “Young Frankenstein”.

[packagingguy]

Since both died it’s likely natural gas or carbon monoxide?

[Jonah Hex]

Gene did a great job playing a weak character in “Marooned”. No, that’s not a contradiction in terms. Gene was just ...fantastic.

[Red Badger]

Gene Hackman in the Marine Corps, 1946-1951............

[wardaddy]

Hackman
A great
I hope he didn’t do it

Mississippi Burning?

Puke

Akin to movie Betrayed

It was the salmon mousse!
