Absolutely bonkers that Hackman quit acting more than 20 years ago [0] — "Welcome to Mooseport (2004)" was his last film. But his body of work in my mind feels as timelessly relevant and fresh as Clint Eastwood's and Bill Murray's. Maybe because I love rewatching Unforgiven and Crimson Tide. I haven't even seen French Connection, which earned him his first Oscar. RIP to this legend.

"French Connection" is truly great. Such a good chase scene.

The Conversation and honestly The Royal Tanenbaums.

Don't forget his incredible performance as Lex Luther in Superman (1978... written by Mario Puzo...)

Young Frankenstein FTW!

Hoosiers is probably my favorite movie of his.

Whichever of his movies I watched last.

Loved him in Get Shorty, too. This is prompting me to finally watch The Conversation tonight.

The Ringer has it as #3 all time best chase scene.

French connection was a great movie in its time. It feels a bit slow moving compared to today's contemporary films. But a must watch if you're a Hackman fan.
