Everyone knows Gene Hackman is one of the greatest actors and everyone knows his famous films like Unforgiven, Bonnie and Clyde and The French Connection. But what I'm wondering is: what are his films that are lesser known and/or underrated that are also good? He's got a big filmography so it stands to reason there are some largely unknown gems in there. So, what are they?
Gene Hackman
Luis Bailey
Justin Bailey
Pretty good late Cold War flick.
Luis James
Not really unknown at all but he was fantastic in Get Shorty
Jose Cook
This guy made bad movies watchable
Brody Thompson
Night Moves -- although it's far from underrated nowadays. Very good neo-noir.
Hunter Flores
WTF Gene Hackman is still alive?
Eli Butler
Look no further than The Conversation
Joshua Gomez
None of his films are largely unknown. Anyway, here's a good one.
Blake Evans
He's hilarious in Heartbreakers
This is a good one too
Samuel Myers
Young Frankenstein
Jaxon Allen
>Never trust a nigger
Was Popeye Doyle /ourguy/?
Brayden Parker
I honestly thought he died in the late 90s and he really played for a football team in the 70s
Lincoln Cruz
This. Very kino.
The Royal Tenenbaums was the first thing I saw him in as a boy, have loved his films ever since.
I was surprised that the writer wrote that, considering his views. Maybe Friedkin added that.
Brody Ramirez
This is the first thing that came to mind
Also the first thing that came to mind
But really the first film that came to mind was Scarecrow
Matthew Hernandez
That's Bill O'Reilly though
Asher Reed
Behind enemy lines.
Leo Bennett
Welcome to Mooseport contains the mysteries of both his being and humanity itself. Terrifying exploration.
Christopher Taylor
Birdcage, but its more of a Robin Williams movie
Evan Rivera
Heist is also worth a mention and I didnt see Crimson tide mentioned yet
also Missisipi burning is kino
Wyatt Martinez
The Poseidon Adventure
Jaxson Evans
the french connection is so well-made that it's scary.
if Sup Forums had existed in the 70s, there would be tons of memes centered around that one scene
Jose Miller
The Birdcage
Cooper Bell
>Look no further than The Conversation
this
Jackson Miller
ALL FUCKING NIGGERS MUST HANG
Chase Scott
...
Luis Cook
Came here to post this one.
Gabriel Bennett
what was his fucking problem?
Julian Mitchell
That movie has the perfect balance of crude drag humor and actual witty writing. Hackman is perfect as that Congressman.
Luis Ortiz
He kicks ass in Crimson Tide as does the rest of the cast
Kevin Perry
A classic meme
Brody Cooper
Night Moves comes out on bluray in 2 weeks.
Asher Edwards
