That is actually the first movie that comes to my mind when i think of Hackman .. The Firm, as the scumbag mentor to Tom Cruise.. also i think of the other Grisham adaptation he did , Runaway Jury .

I also thought he was great in No Way Out with Costner .. and Unforgiven and Superman to a lesser extent .. ive never seen his older work from the 70s like French Connection or The Conversation .

Hoosiers and Class Action come to my mind first.

I love Hackman as an actor.

Over the weekend I walked into the front room and my oldest kid was watching The Replacements

Unfortunately he was one of my celebrity death pool picks. Wish it would have been Weinstein.

Could it be something like carbon monoxide poisoning?


Seems like that makes the most sense.

One of the best lines in a movie was from Heist about Gene Hackman’s character.

Just read this on Daily Mall. How can this be?

Local media has reported that no foul play is suspected


Sounds like carbon monoxide.

If not a gas leak he might have died of natural causes and his wife didn't want to go on without him and decided to check out with the dog in tow.

Unforgiven is the first movie that comes to mind for me. I've quoted the "but I'm building a house" line many times over the years.

Honestly I thought he had died years ago.
