...has to be The Conversation... it's a masterpiece.

Yes, that's definitely one Gene Hackman movie I need to watch again, especially now it's available to view on YouTube. Thumbs Up

Another vote for The Conversation. I didn't think I could do it, but people walked right past me and thought I was a cheeseburger.

French Connection II. I was very impressed with his performance and the location filiming in Marseille is done very well.

I was going to say something similar, but I restrained myself... LOL

Hi,

Sorry that I can not say I have a favorite here, but I was brought up in the age of the Actor's Studio, the RSC and the NT (in England) and even the National Theater in France, and then, the free form stuff that added so much to what became "krautrock".

While there is not a whole lot to dislike, Gene was a fine actor, though not one for my tastes ... maybe if he had some some more stage so we could see some different chops, it might have helped my understanding of it, and it is the same idea for me with Clint Eastwood. 

I thought, once in a while, that this was the era of the big name and film studio things, and I can't help thinking that the acting is not as strong ... though I don't think that Gene did not try hard, or do his best ... in that sense he is very good. 

RIP ... not the greatest but an actor nonetheless. 
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!
