Even the last name Hackman is a cool name.
Gene Hackman was the man. I remember rewatching Crimson Tide recently, and it is an intense movie. I remember watching him as Lex Luthor in Superman the Movie first. Despite being a somewhat comedic version of Luthor, Hackman brought some darkness to the role. And that's the thing: Hackman always brought darkness.
Unforgiven was his best role period. Little Bill is one of my favorite movie villains from the movies. If you get a chance, watch Unforgiven. Hackman makes that movie intense.
Here are a few other great movies starring Hackman.
Anyway, it is a real shame Gene died the way he did. He died alone, not realizing that his wife passed away in another room. He probably walked around the house confused and forgotten about his wife due to his diminishing cognitive functions.
Likewise, he will be missed.
