Loved him in Mississippi Burning.
He was great in everything he played. The French Connection is old, but itâs a great movie.
Of course his greatest character is Royal Tenenbaum. I watch that at least once a year.
That scene really feels like it was improvâed.

RIP, Gene & family. You will be missed.
My favorite role of Hackman is a tie. The small part as the blind man in Young Frankenstein, and Harry Zimm in Get Shorty.
I liked Hackman in âHoosiers.â But the romance with the Barbara Hershey character was cringy.
This is the correct answer.
I generally despise Wes Anderson films as pretentious tripe. Except for âThe Royal Tenenbaumsâ. For some reason, that movie just speaks to my very soul. And Hackman is brilliant in it.
Where are you going? I was going to make espresso.
He was amazing in Young Frankenstein
I read once that he did that job at standard scale. Best laughs for the dollar in movie history.
I was impressed by him and the movie Scarecrow. That was over 50 years ago, so I couldnât begin to tell you what it was about. Hackman said it was his best performance.
My favorite of Gene Hackman is Gene Hackman.
