Poseidon Adventure

Looking back at some clips, I now know what started the whole adventure in the first place.  Check out the ship's captain:

I’ll take it. Loved every role he played.

"you been talking about that queen again, on Independence Day?"

 

I have to go with Little Bill. But Popeye Doyle is a strong second.

I guess its a tie between Mississippi Burning and Hoosiers.

A few have mentioned, but I thought he was the best part of The Firm.

And, "You heard me, Coltrane."

He's a giant dickhead. He bought property all around a family/kids camp in New Mexico that has been operating for 80+ years. They've been taking deaf/handicapped/orphaned kids on horseback rides and hikes through some of the shared trails since before WW2. He put up new fences blocking all shared trail access and told everyone from the camp to fuck off. Fuck him.

Have to add The Birdcage, though that’s really more Nathan Lane, Robin Williams and Hank Azaria. But Hackman was great in makeup and a dress.

That's just Norman Dale trying to toughen up the kids for the season.

If you’re interested, you can meet him in 20 minutes on the corner of El Dorado and Palm.

Didn’t realize he was that old. Getting old sucks.

I Never Sang for my Father

He's fucking excellent in it.

so the Hackman-Caine theory is true after all?  

[bschoolprof 6264]

I saw this thread and thought he died. Fuck you fuckers. A true treasure of the cinema.

Hoosiers, Bat 21, and Little Bill for me.

Lady, not for a million dollars.

Not a great movie but one I watch when it's on -- Uncommon Valor.  Hackman is pretty excellent in it.

Coach Dale was great.

He set the standard for Lex Luther in Superman 1&2. Has anyone been close?

He probably played himself in Royal Tenenbaums.

And he was awesome in Mississippi Burning.

I loved Superman as a little kid in the 70s.  Hackman's always been Lex Luther to me, and no, nobody has come close.
