All of the accolades and superlatives people use to describe the acting of Deniro, Pacino and, even to a lesser extent, Duvall, are actually, literally true and deserved about Gene Hackman.

The closest modern equivalent is Philip Seymour Hoffman, also RIP.

"Where are you going?"

"back in the game"

"sit down"

"what do you mean we gotta have 5 out there?"

"sit down"

To the ref "my team is on the floor"

I watched Runaway Jury, Crimson Tide and Enemy of the State this past weekend. Gene was such a great actor in every role he played.

Brad Dourif and Michael Rooker in the scene and they're mainly just props for Gene to do his magic.

One of my favorite quotes is from that movie:

quote:

I'd rather set my head on fire and have it put out with a sledgehammer.


That movie got universally panned and bombed at the box office… but I enjoyed it.

So it's just a non-ending loop of his scene in Young Frankenstein?

I wouldn't blame them if it was.

Totally agree. While Hackman did end on a shitty note with Welcome To Mooseport, he didn’t really water down his work with loads of shite like Pacino and Deniro have done. Hackman knew when to call it quits.

Watched Crimson Tide for the first time in years. He’s criminally underrated in that movie. Amazing performance.

It commands your attention every single scene

The money quote was by Danny Devito in Heist. Excellent film.
