Absolutely bonkers that Hackman quit acting more than 20 years ago [0] — "Welcome to Mooseport (2004)" was his last film. But his body of work in my mind feels as timelessly relevant and fresh as Clint Eastwood's and Bill Murray's. Maybe because I love rewatching Unforgiven and Crimson Tide. I haven't even seen French Connection, which earned him his first Oscar. RIP to this legend.

- jimmydddd 2y agoFrench connection was a great movie in its time. It feels a bit slow moving compared to today's contemporary films. But a must watch if you're a Hackman fan.
