Sadly Gene Hackman, aged 95, and his wife and dog were found dead inside his New Mexico home. Authorities are not claiming any foul play at this time. Here are what I consider his best movies.
1. The French Connection
2. Hoosiers
3. The Poseidon Adventure
4. Unforgiven
5. Get Shorty
There are a bunch of movies that easily could have made the list (French Connection II, Bonnie and Clyde, Crimson Tide, The Conversation, etc) but I really liked Hackman in The Poseidon Adventure and as Harry Zimm in Get Shorty).
My favorite Hackman trivia is the fact that he was the first choice to play Mike Brady in The Brady Bunch TV show.
