Love Hackman, but never see the movie The Conversation. Based on this thread, looks like I need to add it to the list for this weekend's viewing.
Think of it as the prequel to Enemy Of The State. Great film even if the tech used is now dated.
In fact, the file photo of Brill was one of Hackman as Harry Caul in The Conversation.

I don't see the big fuss over Unforgiven. It's fine and good, but I just don't get why people think it's so amazing.
Great cast firing on all cylinders if nothing else.
Eastwood, Hackman, Morgan Freeman, Richard Harris. All of which while doing a huge deconstruction of the classic Western.

It is really well done - FFC was writer, director, producer, so it is in that pantheon of films.
The vibe is similar to that of Save the Tiger from the previous year, at least IMHO. A fairly intense character study of a man under significant vocational stress.

Unforgiven needs to be on there.
He absolutely nailed Little Bill. God damn I hated that guy!!!!!!
And I rewatched his scene with the monster in Young Frankenstein and its pure comedy gold.

Underrated and somewhat forgotten, but Prime Cut from 1972 is worth checking out for violent, weird, crime drama.

Prime Cut is a 1972 American action thriller crime film produced by Joe Wizan, directed by Michael Ritchie from a screenplay written by Robert Dillon, and starring Lee Marvin as Nick Devlin, a mob enforcer from the Chicago Irish Mob sent to Kansas to collect a debt from a meatpacker boss played by Gene Hackman. The picture co-stars Sissy Spacek in her first credited on-screen role as a young orphan being sold into prostitution as well as Angel Tompkins[2] and Eddie Egan.
The film was considered highly risqué for its time based on its violence and the hint of a homosexual relationship between two brothers. Its graphic depiction of female slavery includes a scene depicting naked young women (including Sissy Spacek and Janit Baldwin) in pens being auctioned like cattle. It is also noted for its depiction of the beef slaughtering process and for a chase scene involving a combine harvester in an open field.[3][4]

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.
This! Yeah a top three would be so subjective to each person because he made every movie he was in better.
