Truly one of the greatest actors of all time





But you had to play it cool, had to do it your way
Had to be a fool, had to throw it all away

My favs are

The Conversation (Underrated Coppola flick. A young Harrison Ford appears in a small role.)
Night Moves (A slept on Hackman gem with a young Melanie Griffith and a young James Woods in supporting roles)
The French Connection (Just a classic)
Mississippi Burning
Under Suspicion (Another slept on one)
Unforgiven (Little Bill never dies)

I know there were people who found him difficult to work with. In his younger days, Hackman was a brawler. According to Dustin Hoffman, he would hit up the local bars for the sole purpose of getting in a fight haha

RIP


The Mafia Is Not Primarily An Organisation Of Murderers.
First And Foremost,The Mafia Is Made Up Of Thieves.
It Is Driven By Greed And Controlled By Fear.

Between The Law And The Mafia, The Law Is Not The Most To Be Feared

"What if the Mafia were not an organization but a widespread Sicilian attitude of hostility towards the law?"

He was also in another Eastwood movie called Absolute Power, where he played the president. I always liked that one

That scene from "Unforgiven" is one of the all-time greatest--bar none. I watch it at least every two weeks.

Here's a bit of unforgettable dialog from the end of that scene:
(Little Bill, wounded on the floor):"I don't deserve this--I was building a house."
(William Munney): "Deserve's got nothing to do with this."
(Littlel Bill): "I'll see you in hell, William Munney."
(Munney): "Yeah,..(bang!).

Si nun ce truovo a ttia, mancu ce trasu.
