I thought he was great in The Unforgiven - Been awhile since I’ve seen it but I remember him playing an Ill-equipped sheriff that made some bad decisions desperately trying to keep the peace .. Of course the film is about as far from peaceful as you can get

I will never forget seeing "The Poseidon Adventure" for the first time. I was amazed! Kind of like watching "Top Gun" on the big screen when it first came out - breathtaking!

RIP.

I remember as a kid this movie and when he died in it, it was tough as a little kid you watched a movie like this so intently, wanted him to make it out.

No one has mentioned The Firm yet - he's very good in that movie too.

Although The French Connection is one of the greatest movies ever

His first card I believe, and an early photo from 1964.

MR. Hackman had a memorable role in the Birdcage comedy as Senator Keeley.

In drag he looked just like Maude (Bea Arthur).

RIP to a fine actor (and his wife and dog).

I like his characters though I have only seen three of his movies more than once - "Runaway Jury", "Enemy of the State" and "The Firm".

The others I enjoyed but only saw once were - "No Way Out", "Hoosiers", "The Poseiden Adventure", "Young Frankenstein" and "The Conversation".

I’m not super into westerns and Unforgiven is still one of my favorite movies. Hackman was so good. Agree with everyone that Hoosiers is top notch. Hackman didn’t think so at the time apparently.

Agree with the sentiment here.

Hackman was fantastic and I think about Hoosiers a lot. Especially in coaching.

I hope to coach like coach Dale!

Yes! And he even made Behind Enemy Lines eminently watchable on a slow sports afternoon.
