Well his estate should be getting another check.
I just watched The French Connection on Prime a couple nights ago.
I hadn’t seen it in at least twenty years.
I don’t think the studios would make a movie like that today.
It portrayed pretty much every Black person in the movie as drug users.

After that my wife wanted to watch Midnight Cowboy with John Voit and Dustin Hoffman.

“I just watched The French Connection on Prime a couple nights ago.”

The only movie I ever slept through, beginning to end. Boring.

Good choices.

I suggest Scarecrow.

Hackman's favorite movie that he made.

I watched it the week before he died.

I really liked The Conversation with Hackman and Cindy Williams.

Today C-SPAN showed a program about Ellis Island from 1989 which was narrated by Gene Hackman.

I wonder if they selected it to show because of his recent death or if it was just a coincidence.
