He was great in everything he played. The French Connection is old, but it’s 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 improv’ed.

“You wanna talk some jive?”

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 “Hoosiers.” 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 “The Royal Tenenbaums”. For some reason, that movie just speaks to my very soul. And Hackman is brilliant in it.

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 couldn’t begin to tell you what it was about. Hackman said it was his best performance.
