What is the first film that you think of when y’all think of Hackman ? For me it’s probably Superman, then Unforgiven, then No Way Out, then Runaway Jury with Hoffman, then The Firm .
Difficult question as he is in so many great films.
I guess The French Connection always comes up first in my mind since it's the first film I remember seeing with him in it. Followed closely by The Conversation, Hoosiers, Superman, Unforgiven, and The Bird Cage. Lots of others, too, but Popeye Doyle is the first thing I think of.
