If Hoosiers isn't on the list, it's no list at all.

I do think this is the list. He was great in literally everything, even on those rare occasions when the movie wasn't great.

No list without No Way Out

Hackman and Costner, and one of the best plot devices in movie history

This is both true and funny at the same time. It's well known that Hackman thought this movie was a career ender for himself and Dennis Hopper.

When Hackman forces the ref to kick him out of the game and he tells Shooter to take over is all time great.

This is the thing with Hackman, the man was great in everything even if the movie sucks arse.

One of the best to ever do it.
