Gene Hackman Poll
Added 2025-03-02 22:32:14 +0000 UTCsorry for the radio silence - I have been in bed for about 11 days.
-12/10 would not recommend getting walking pneumonia but I think I am officially back in the land of the living. Our monthly Live hangout will take place NEXT weekend!
The stories around Gene Hackman's death (and his wife and dog) are so sad and scary. Just a reminder to check on your loved ones & older relatives/neighbors!
What should we watch in honor of him? He has TONS of titles so this poll might be a little long!
Comments
"Enemy of the State" is a very good flick, and Gene Hackman was Very Good in it, it's a modern day thiller... Also, "Hoosiers" was very good, He was Very Good in it, and it's based on an actual Small Town High School Basketball Team in Indiana in the early 1950s...
James Falato
2025-03-14 03:03:30 +0000 UTCThe French Connection would be cool to watch.
fanofactionflicks
2025-03-12 01:27:21 +0000 UTCI was so hoping The Royal Tenenbaums would be on the poll. He is absolutely brilliant in it & was the first movie I thought of to pay tribute to Mr. Hackman. It would also give Ashleigh a chance to dip her toe into the movie world of Wes Anderson.
Vicious Trollop
2025-03-05 19:14:25 +0000 UTCI was thinking The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
MidNite1869
2025-03-05 18:19:58 +0000 UTCOh man, no Runaway Jury? Would personally say Superman II myself of those too.
Vincent Perrone
2025-03-05 07:10:05 +0000 UTCNo Bonnie and Clyde?? Unforgiven is good too though.
EJN
2025-03-04 22:48:56 +0000 UTCRest assured I do own the DVD. I just haven't found time to watch it. It's on the list!
Kayla Fehribach
2025-03-04 20:33:17 +0000 UTCMississippi Burning would have been a good one to watch. True story with an amazing performance by Gene Hackman.
Dawne ~ Island Green Strong
2025-03-04 19:06:03 +0000 UTCIt may be a basketball movie but Gene Hackman is front and center and shines for the whole movie.
Kimberly Polson
2025-03-04 10:32:21 +0000 UTCHonestly it should be The French Connection... too many comments to see if it was mentioned, and the Wes Anderson 'the royal tenenbaums' would be channel appropriate 👍🏻
LostintheCode
2025-03-04 06:28:41 +0000 UTCWhy isn't The Quick and the Dead on here?
Deadpools Tell No Tales
2025-03-04 06:20:00 +0000 UTCPassionate plea for hoosiers instead of unforgiven. Yes Gene killed it in that movie he isn't the lead however. Hoosiers is a Gene Hackman vehicle and is a heartwarming performance while in unforgiven it's a intense one to say the least. Please if you voted already consider changing to Hoosiers.
Kimberly Polson
2025-03-04 06:02:43 +0000 UTCAnother wish for Crimson Tide. Also, Hackman was great in The Firm. I voted Unforgiven, but it's harsh/a hard watch.
Genette Irlbeck
2025-03-03 22:09:17 +0000 UTCGlad to hear you're feeling better!! Lots more rest and fluids!! Also... Mississippi Burning (1988), The Replacements (2000) and Welcome To Mooseport (2004)
ssb031
2025-03-03 21:59:40 +0000 UTCOooh!! That'd be fun!!
ssb031
2025-03-03 21:56:08 +0000 UTCI love, love, love Hoosiers but your mileage may vary, because it is VERY much a basketball movie. It's got other elements as well that add to the drama, but first and foremost, it's about basketball so if you're not a fan of the sport, it might not work for you. That said, on this poll, I'd probably go with Unforgiven, for which he won an Oscar. If you haven't seen it, you could go with The French Connection in the future. Fun fact about that one: the fast food chain Popeye's is named after Gene's character in that movie, Popeye Doyle (and not the sailor man, as many people assume).
Jeff K
2025-03-03 21:25:52 +0000 UTCYep, after reading all the comments, we definitely need more Gene Hackmam on the channel. There are just too many good ones that need watching.
CinWin
2025-03-03 19:09:34 +0000 UTCI chose Unforgiven but Gene Hackman was in so many bangers. Crimson Tide (Denzel! mwah), No Way Out, French Connection, honestly Gene Hackman is one of movies great 'that guy's.
TaleenaS
2025-03-03 18:48:40 +0000 UTCI've already said that I wish The Poseidon Adventure was on the list, but I really like Behind Enemy Lines, too.. on this poll, I voted Superman 2, though. It's the best of the Superman movies. I know Unforgiven is probably going to win. It's good, but it's never been a favorite of mine. Plus, everyone already reacts to it and I'm sure Ashley would have gotten to it eventually even without a death.
Wendy Smith
2025-03-03 18:37:48 +0000 UTCUnforgiven is a great movie, but Gene Hackman is a supporting character in it, so I gave my vote to Hoosiers. I also think Ashleigh would love Crimson Tide. And I agree with everyone else saying that The Quick and The Dead is a lot of fun. Maybe Gene Hackman should be a franchise for a month.
Steve Friedman
2025-03-03 18:35:36 +0000 UTCI love For a Few Dollars More.
Wendy Smith
2025-03-03 18:29:05 +0000 UTCOhhh, you just MUST! It's so good and based on a true story!
CinWin
2025-03-03 18:19:42 +0000 UTCThat one is very underrated IMHO.
Wendy Smith
2025-03-03 18:18:49 +0000 UTCI agree wholeheartedly! He was in so many classics, it's almost a crime to just pick one.
Wendy Smith
2025-03-03 18:17:17 +0000 UTCYesssss!
CinWin
2025-03-03 18:15:47 +0000 UTCGenerally speaking: Westerns are the second worst film genre after anything made from a comic book.
Michael Parker
2025-03-03 18:08:44 +0000 UTCI went with "Enemy of the State" because... Well... Better You just React to the Film without any of My Reasoning/Accidentally Spoiling...
James Falato
2025-03-03 17:41:43 +0000 UTCSo many movies being suggested. I also enjoyed Crimson Tide with Gene Hackman and Denzel Washington. Of the choices offered, I voted for Superman II.
Steve Quast
2025-03-03 17:25:21 +0000 UTCOkay. Keep us posted, I guess.
Jamie
2025-03-03 17:14:49 +0000 UTCI hope you are feeling better. I voted for Hoosers, but Unforgiven is a good option, too. For other great ones not in this vote would be the French Connection and the Royal Tenenbaums. He had a lot of great movies so its hard to narrow it down.
Sarah L.
2025-03-03 16:42:21 +0000 UTCIf you bothered to read the comment you would know those are all films that make up my list of worst films I've seen.
James Moyner
2025-03-03 16:30:22 +0000 UTCListing random films you don't like seems really odd to me
Jamie
2025-03-03 16:07:44 +0000 UTCBefore this gets decided, I'm gonna lobby one more time to designate Gene Hackman as a franchise. The top 4 Hackman films - including The French Connection - would be varied enough and good enough that you might consider a second month!
Curtis Martin
2025-03-03 15:50:48 +0000 UTCDon’t apologize, just glad to hear your feeling better. It’s not on the list but would also recommend The Conversation as a Gene Hackman movie, it really is one of his best
Thomas
2025-03-03 15:43:52 +0000 UTCHeartbreakers is one of the worst films I have ever seen. I despise it alongside: American Beauty, About A Boy, A Serious Man, I Lost My Body, Mirai No Mirai, The Weather Man, and Maleficent to name a few.
James Moyner
2025-03-03 15:42:07 +0000 UTCThat kind of stuff is just Animal House clones 2.0 You have a bunch of college age morons, drinking, having sex, being idiots, and it's supposed to be tons of laughs for the teens who will laugh at anything if someone is hurt like on their jackass show. I hate that kind of stuff I want smart comedy not James Franco, Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler, Jonah Hill, Serh Rogen shit. So yes I would rather watch those two films with her over Eurotrip. I don't watch that kind of stuff.
James Moyner
2025-03-03 15:39:13 +0000 UTCWow, I’ve never seen a threat unless someone does a reaction to a specific movie before. Perhaps a DM would be a better avenue for a complaint like this.
Scot Jebens
2025-03-03 15:36:56 +0000 UTCSo glad you're better, missed you <3 Please also watch something for Michelle Trachtenberg, preferably Eurotrip (2004)
Darth_Credible_Halk
2025-03-03 15:36:32 +0000 UTCYou could have several weeks' worth of movies where Gene Hackman was fantastic. Even in less than stellar films, he shines. I picked Unforgiven, but all named in this chat are worthy. I wish for your speedy recovery!
Cindy Byrne
2025-03-03 15:30:59 +0000 UTCWow, it sure is true that you can't please all people all of the time. Or even some people some of the time. 😆 Criminy, Ashleigh - I hope you're really much, much better, because walking pneumonia sucks ass. I can't believe you made the effort to put up a poll at all! Whatever gets picked will be cool, because Gene Hackman was an incredible actor, and I'm just interested to see what you think. Keep on the mend, friend! 👍
Renee MeowMeow Beans
2025-03-03 15:14:56 +0000 UTCMy favorite Gene Hackman film is s fun little court thriller called Runaway Jury.
Michelle LaMar
2025-03-03 15:08:41 +0000 UTCmildly surprised there was no French Connection option. Or, to parallel the James Earl Jones - Red October memorial, maybe Crimson Tide
Estersdoll
2025-03-03 14:44:19 +0000 UTCFrench Connection. That's the movie that made him a star.
Bill Trumpler
2025-03-03 14:10:58 +0000 UTCI was thinking the same thing. French Connection should be on the list.
Bill Trumpler
2025-03-03 14:10:12 +0000 UTCI had walking pneumonia once as a kid and kept fainting in class. They finally did a chest x-ray and I was kept home sick for over a week. Can attest that sickness is absolutely no fun at all. I’m glad you’re on the mend.
Zophiela
2025-03-03 13:48:10 +0000 UTCI was hoping Runaway Jury would be on the list
Peta D
2025-03-03 13:02:06 +0000 UTCJames, you really think those are better? A high school girl risking her future to look pretty on ice and a kid with a habit of b&e who writes a burn book about her own friends? At least Eurotrip has tits and a catchy song.
Leaf on the Wind
2025-03-03 11:57:24 +0000 UTCWhy college banging trash instead of something good with her like Ice Princess or Harriet the Spy?
James Moyner
2025-03-03 11:49:17 +0000 UTCIt's offensive revisionist history. The FBI were NOT the good guys.
Curtis Martin
2025-03-03 10:54:04 +0000 UTCI do have to agree that The Quick and the Dead should be on this list. One of the best westerns. However, since Unforgiven is probably going to win though, I have to recommend watching the other movies in the Dollars Trilogy first. I think you only reacted to The Good, Bad, and The Ugly. There's also A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More. The reason I bring it up is that I read that Clint Eastwood said his character in Unforgiven is also The Man With No Name from the Dollars Trilogy.
Jeb Manning
2025-03-03 05:01:18 +0000 UTCThe French Connection is the movie that put him on the map, so it should be there, but out of the ones on the list, I had to go with Unforgiven.
JHB
2025-03-03 04:57:11 +0000 UTCQuick and the Dead is way better than all of these movies. I'm also a bit sad there isn't a Michelle Trachtenberg poll. I'd love to see your reaction to Eurotrip.
Leaf on the Wind
2025-03-03 04:35:41 +0000 UTCI wouldn't be mad about Hoosiers winning, but of the movies on this list, Unforgiven is by far the best film. I hope it continues to win.
Spocktacular
2025-03-03 02:20:42 +0000 UTCSuperman 2 got my vote, but would have preferred Quick and the Dead.
Frankie
2025-03-03 02:16:06 +0000 UTCWhat are you talking about? She’s done tons of classic movies. You don’t like how the polls turn out then that’s the voters, not Ashleigh’s fault. Start your own channel then
Brooke Cerio
2025-03-03 02:15:19 +0000 UTCIf French Connection is shown, maybe it should be on Franchise Friday because there were 2 French Connections.
David Hayes
2025-03-03 01:56:57 +0000 UTCTHE QUICK AND THE DEAD (1995) Also starring Sharon Stone, Russell Crowe, and Leonardo DiCaprio. It’s a western about a dueling contest between about 20 people. that’s run by the evil man who owns the town. It’s stylish and amazing! A bonus is that this movie hasn’t been reacted to endlessly. It’d be a good way to react to a fresh movie instead of one that’s been done 1,000 times. Trailer: https://youtu.be/Lo9cGqmHXhg?si=aBOEApfuQMLyP-la
Scot Jebens
2025-03-03 01:56:31 +0000 UTCAshleigh you made a mistake not putting The French Connection on the poll. It's what made him famous. Rest and get well your health is first priority.
Mr Marvelous
2025-03-03 01:54:36 +0000 UTCThe Conversation is another banger.
Louise Brooks
2025-03-03 01:46:42 +0000 UTCFrench Connection really was the one.
Louise Brooks
2025-03-03 01:45:24 +0000 UTCI feel so strongly that The French Connection should be on the poll that I'm leaving a second comment about it. And it really is an "older classic movie" - which would be nice to get back to every now and again!
Charity Konusser (the chonus)
2025-03-03 01:44:43 +0000 UTCGene Hackman made one bad movie and it's on this poll (Heartbreakers)
Charity Konusser (the chonus)
2025-03-03 01:43:56 +0000 UTCNow it's fine. Weird.
Cass&Jason
2025-03-03 01:43:09 +0000 UTCHoosiers has lots of votes on my screen - maybe refresh?
Charity Konusser (the chonus)
2025-03-03 01:41:37 +0000 UTCOkie dokie, something weird here. Voted for Hoosiers, but I'm seeing zero votes. Are we redoing this poll or is it just a glitch?
Cass&Jason
2025-03-03 01:35:03 +0000 UTCFunny, I'm from Indiana, but I've never seen the movie. Hoosiers. Hm
Kayla Fehribach

abz
2025-03-03 01:23:11 +0000 UTCI've already voiced my extreme disappointment that THE FRENCH CONNECTION isn't on this list, BUT I WILL DO IT AGAIN. The fact that this channel used to be about classic movies but is now hung up on the Marvel franchise is why I went from the $20 dollar membership to the $3 dollar membership.

2025-03-03 01:03:31 +0000 UTCMississippi Burning is essential viewing.
Evening Star
2025-03-03 00:53:52 +0000 UTCHi Ashleigh, I'm a new pair(e)on and haven't said "hi" yet. But on the subject of Gene Hackman, I would like to second the suggestion of watching "The French Connection". It's THE Gene Hackman role, IMHO.
Brandon Look
2025-03-03 00:47:05 +0000 UTCThe Quick and The Dead
Carl Dietz
2025-03-03 00:45:09 +0000 UTCFeels like it comes across well in the comments, but just to be sure you know I think everyone is happy with this poll, it's just he has soooo many good movies to choose from it's next to impossible to include them all.
Kenton Kruger
2025-03-03 00:39:34 +0000 UTCPoseidon Adventure!
Oouga
2025-03-03 00:37:49 +0000 UTCNo French Connection?? He could almost have a month to himself
David Harrison
2025-03-03 00:23:28 +0000 UTCI would have Poseidon Adventure (one of his better portrayals), Crimson Tide (with Denzel Washington, really good), and BAT 21 (excellent War story with Danny Glover) those are my favorites of his. I do appreciate that you are paying tribute to him and hope that these films can come later. I love your videos always and keep u the good work.
Stephen Koehler
2025-03-03 00:23:28 +0000 UTCThe Conversation would be a great addition to this poll.
Michael Buhl
2025-03-03 00:16:52 +0000 UTCI would suggest Hoosiers considering we are getting into March Madness. It is a great basketball movie.
Johnny Joyner
2025-03-03 00:15:53 +0000 UTCI agree. He has been in so many great films.
Richard Sheets
2025-03-03 00:10:34 +0000 UTCAny chance we could also get Eurotrip in honor of Michelle Trachtenberg?

2025-03-03 00:03:48 +0000 UTCNo Way Out and Mississippi Burning are great too.
Bill Bevins
2025-03-03 00:03:26 +0000 UTCRoyal Tenenbaums needs to be on this list. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Royal_Tenenbaums
J Ashes
2025-03-03 00:02:01 +0000 UTCVoted for the Unforgiven but his best movies are The French Connection, No Way Out and Mississippi Burning.
Bill Bevins
2025-03-03 00:01:35 +0000 UTCNo Royal Tennenbaums?! That would be my vote.
Emily M.
2025-03-02 23:59:59 +0000 UTCWas hoping for Bat*21 (true war story). Gotta go with Hoosiers.
Eric
2025-03-02 23:57:51 +0000 UTCOh. Marooned .... Uh, only the MST3K version. Of those listed I picked Enemy of the State. But would say Crimson Tide for a real good one.
Brian Straight
2025-03-02 23:56:25 +0000 UTCHoosiers is really good so that one gets my vote. I do hope that Ashleigh can get to Crimson Tide one day, that is one of my favorite movies.
Lynette Cummins
2025-03-02 23:43:32 +0000 UTCUnforgiven is the best film on the list and he is great in it. Also, Crimson Tide should be on the list. I would still vote for Unforgiven, but CT is something Ashleigh should see at some point.
Graham Martin
2025-03-02 23:41:42 +0000 UTCAbsolute Power or Poseidon Adventure belong on the poll, too!!!
Crystal Wood
2025-03-02 23:41:22 +0000 UTCRight? Such a good movie.
Cosmic Slice
2025-03-02 23:38:31 +0000 UTCNot one of his more well-known films, but NIGHT MOVES is a great psychological thriller and is also Melanie Griffith's first movie.
Paul Stelter
2025-03-02 23:37:52 +0000 UTCWhere are my Indiana people?
Tami Studey
2025-03-02 23:36:26 +0000 UTCWade, Inwent the other way. Hoosers then unforgiven. Both are great!
Michael K Montgomery
2025-03-02 23:33:58 +0000 UTCI think Hoosiers is perfectly timed for March Madness. Also, 3 other good movies not mentioned enough are, The Firm. Runaway Jury, and The Replacements (supporting role).
CinWin
2025-03-02 23:31:30 +0000 UTCUnforgiven, then Hoosiers, then Poseiden Adventure. He's got some great performances.
Wade Jones
2025-03-02 23:27:41 +0000 UTCI am also hoping for a Wes Anderson dive. I think she would especially like The Royal Tenenbaums and Life Aquatic.
Caroline Cocozza
2025-03-02 23:27:32 +0000 UTCThe position adventure would have been my choice
Nick Velasquez
2025-03-02 23:24:46 +0000 UTCThe Royal Tenenbaums is one of my favorite Gene Hackman movies, plus Angelica Houston and the rest of the cast is fantastic.
Caroline Cocozza
2025-03-02 23:22:37 +0000 UTCI would also recommend The Replacements at some point. It stars Keanu Reeves but Hackman plays a great supporting character.
Katie Jackson
2025-03-02 23:17:43 +0000 UTCI think you mean “Enemy of the State”, though oerhaps his character’s name is Emery. 🤣
Stephen Wise
2025-03-02 23:17:00 +0000 UTCI would go with that of “The Conversation”.
Stephen Wise
2025-03-02 23:15:16 +0000 UTCI just watched "The Quick and the Dead and The Replacements after hearing if his passing. Hope you feel better Ashley
Wes Stevens
2025-03-02 23:13:55 +0000 UTCThe French Connection was Hackman's first Oscar (Best Actor) and it won Best Picture. It is a great action/crime/detective movie based on true events. It also has a standout performance by Roy Scheider (the police chief in Jaws), who was nominated for Best Supporting Actor. It ought to be first on the list.
Elliot Nesterman
2025-03-02 23:13:20 +0000 UTCAlso a good one...Sam Raimi
Blu
2025-03-02 23:11:01 +0000 UTCI know...that's why I picked it
Blu
2025-03-02 23:10:11 +0000 UTCI just watched heartbreakers in honor of him last night cause it’s hilarious
Alexis Callagan
2025-03-02 23:06:02 +0000 UTCI agree with other comments. Gene Hackman never made a bad movie. You could make a series of them. "Unforgiven" was my choice, but "Hoosiers", "The French Connection", "The Conversation" are all great choices. Heck, throw in "Superman" if you haven't seen that, or "The Poseiden Adventure".
Bruce R Wilson
2025-03-02 23:05:08 +0000 UTC"B&C" all the way...
Chris Carman
2025-03-02 22:58:57 +0000 UTCAgree, French Connection and Mississippi burning need to top this list. Edit - could also add Crimson Tide (bonus with Denzel Washington).
Charlie
2025-03-02 22:57:39 +0000 UTCWhere is French Connection? I agree with someone who said it should be either French Connection, Mississippi Burning or Superman. Also, I have The Firm as my dark horse
Anais Hilator
2025-03-02 22:54:54 +0000 UTCSo many great movies in this man's legacy. You could have also included The French Connection, The Quick And The Dead, Mississippi Burning, etc, etc. I'm voting for Superman II, but any of these titles could easily get my vote. R.I.P. Gene Hackman. Also, I hope you feel better soon Ashleigh. 🫶
James Sharp
2025-03-02 22:54:52 +0000 UTCI hope you get back to feeling 100% soon but don't rush it.

2025-03-02 22:53:51 +0000 UTCyes! really was a star studded cast
benjamin freeman
2025-03-02 22:52:33 +0000 UTCMississipi Burning should be here with the French Connection.
Marcus
2025-03-02 22:52:04 +0000 UTCi second that!
benjamin freeman
2025-03-02 22:51:03 +0000 UTCVoted Superman 2 because its the best one ever made but Night Moves is WILD and further proof that Melanie Griffith’s parents did not care about her well being. Like AT ALL.
Skip
2025-03-02 22:50:15 +0000 UTCHow is The French Connection not on this poll??? He won an Oscar for his role in that movie!!!
Michael Buhl
2025-03-02 22:50:12 +0000 UTCThe weird thing about Marooned though, is that film predicted the Apollo disaster by less than a year, and was still in some theaters when the incident occurred. Terrifying bit of precognition, there.
Chelsea
2025-03-02 22:50:03 +0000 UTCThing about Unforgiven, yes Gene Hackman is in it, and he's fantastic, but his role in the movie is a supporting role, not the lead..(Same with Superman 2)
Anthony
2025-03-02 22:48:56 +0000 UTCPnumonia is no joke, glad you are on the mend
Skip
2025-03-02 22:47:56 +0000 UTCI guess Hoosiers is getting my vote since The French Connection and Bonnie & Clyde didn't make the cut.
Cosmic Slice
2025-03-02 22:46:38 +0000 UTCWrite in vote for the Quick and the Dead
Tony Rossell
2025-03-02 22:45:44 +0000 UTCAnd Russell Crowe, too.
Wendy Smith
2025-03-02 22:44:58 +0000 UTCI would have preferred a deep cut like “the conversation”. I voted for Unforgiven because he got an Oscar for it and is an amazing movie on its own. Can’t believe she hasn’t seen it already.

2025-03-02 22:44:31 +0000 UTCI recommend swapping out Marooned with The Poseidon Adventure. Considering my first memories of Marooned are from Mystery Science Theater 3000, Poseidon is the more fun Hackman disaster film (and you won’t absolutely loathe his character by the end). Plus since you’ve watched Apollo 13, you’ve basically seen Marooned already.

2025-03-02 22:43:02 +0000 UTCI really wish the Poseidon Adventure was on this list. Considering its age, the practical effects still hold very, very well. Plus Gene got to flex his action hero muscles in it.

2025-03-02 22:42:52 +0000 UTCReading the comments reminded me of how many good movies he is in. I hope some of these pop up in later polls.

2025-03-02 22:42:05 +0000 UTCHoosiers is the obvious choice. But I kinda wish Royal Tenenbaums was on there too. Or save it for a franchise of Wes Anderson movies--Bottle Rocket, Rushmore, Royal Tenenbaums, Life Aquatic, Darjeeling Limited, etc.. (and Harriet the Spy for Michelle Trachtenberg! That was a classic for kids growing up in the 90s. And it was the first Nickelodeon original movie.)
Joe Blankenship
2025-03-02 22:41:21 +0000 UTCAs you said, so many choices.... I would also add - if not now, at some point - 'The Conversation' (1974) And hopefully you continue to be feeling better as the days progress.

2025-03-02 22:41:13 +0000 UTCHoosiers is one of my dad's favorite movies, so I've gotta view for that
JC
2025-03-02 22:40:40 +0000 UTCI vote we make Gene a franchise! Even 4 films wouldn't scratch the surface! Where's The French Connection? Or Unforgiven? Seriously, Gene Hackman Fridays should be a thing.

2025-03-02 22:40:04 +0000 UTCthe quick and the dead! great western with Sharon Stone. Leo DiCaprio and Gene Hackman! great underrated movie

2025-03-02 22:39:26 +0000 UTC‘The Poseidon Adventure’ (1972), ‘Get Shorty’ (1995) and ‘The Royal Tenenbaums’ (2001) are among my favorite Gene Hackman films.

2025-03-02 22:38:54 +0000 UTCThe Posiden Adventure!!
Michael Parker
2025-03-02 22:38:41 +0000 UTCSome fun ones here, but missing Heist. I'm not biased or anything!
Charlie Heist
2025-03-02 22:38:15 +0000 UTCDoesn't get any better than Hoosiers for movie where he is the lead role, added bonus of Dennis Hopper *chef kiss* and in time for March Madness.

Blu
2025-03-02 22:37:47 +0000 UTCNo French Connection? No Crimson Tide? Other than Unforgiven this poll is meh Not even The Conversation
The Goateed Geek
2025-03-02 22:37:37 +0000 UTCUnforgiven or Superman 2 are my picks. Some worthy mentions of his would also be The Royal Tenenbaums, Bonnie and Clyde, and the firm
Jordan Wyant
2025-03-02 22:37:34 +0000 UTCMichelle trachtenberg died recently too. She plays a big character in later seasons of Buffy. Will there be a poll for her too?
Jonathan Wiking
2025-03-02 22:36:54 +0000 UTCI’m surprised the French Connection isn’t on here since he won an Oscar for it, but he did win another for Unforgiven so that is my vote! 🤞🏻
Whitney Mercer
2025-03-02 22:36:11 +0000 UTCHis two best films - The French Connection and The Conversation - are missing from this poll. But since I had to pick from the poll, I voted for Unforgiven, as it was one of his two Oscar-winning performances (French Connection is the other). For the love of all that's holy, don't watch Heartbreakers as your Gene Hackman in memoriam film.
Charity Konusser (the chonus)
2025-03-02 22:36:02 +0000 UTCSo glad you’re feeling better! I just got over that a couple of weeks ago, still have the cough though, sucks how long the cough can linger. Hopefully you’re fully recovered. 😊

2025-03-02 22:35:58 +0000 UTCthe quick and the dead! great western with Sharon Stone. Leo DiCaprio and Gene Hackman! great underrated movie also the replacements great sports comedy with Keanu Reeves and Gene Hackman
benjamin freeman
2025-03-02 22:35:57 +0000 UTCIf you do a poll for Michelle Trachtenberg, please put EuroTrip on it. As for the Gene Hackman poll, lots of good choices, but Unforgiven is fantastic.
Garrie Morris
2025-03-02 22:35:56 +0000 UTCSo many great films, but I voted for Enemy of the State. One of my all time favorites. (THE QUICK AND THE DEAD is great too...as is FRENCH CONNECTION, and HEIST, and HEART BREAKERS, and ROYAL TENNENBAUMS, and...)
Insane Ian
2025-03-02 22:35:25 +0000 UTCYou should definitely watch Heartbreakers at some point bc you would love it!
Karrie Orr
2025-03-02 22:35:16 +0000 UTCPLEASE WATCH HEARTBREAKERS! It has Sigourney Weaver too!
Maddie
2025-03-02 22:35:16 +0000 UTCI really hope Crimson Tide gets some attention sometime in the near future. A great Gene Hackman acting clinic and overall just solid.
Matthew King
2025-03-02 22:35:08 +0000 UTCYou should watch The French Connection or Mississippi Burning. Please don’t watch heartbreakers for Gene Hackman.
Shawn Okeefe
2025-03-02 22:34:57 +0000 UTCPlease react to enemy of the state
Taneesha
2025-03-02 22:34:53 +0000 UTCI hope you can see The Royal Tenenbaums one day. That's one of the more quirky but fun movies Gene Hackman did.
Geneva Conway
2025-03-02 22:34:48 +0000 UTCUnforgiven is INCREDIBLE, if you don't watch it now you absolutely will have to at some point
calendar
2025-03-02 22:34:42 +0000 UTCI would love to see Heist (2001 movie) pop up on a reaction channel at some point. Fun movie with crazy dialogue...and a heist...and Gene Hackman. Good combination.
Cory H
2025-03-02 22:34:38 +0000 UTCI voted for Heartbreakers but I would have loved to see Get Shorty (1995) and Crimson Tide (1995) on this list.

2025-03-02 22:33:55 +0000 UTCFeel better! Class Action was another good Gene Hackman film. It is so sad.

2025-03-02 22:33:42 +0000 UTCYou forgot The Firm.... yes it's got Tom Cruise in it, but Hackman is good in this too!!!!
