This one kind of hurts even though he was 95. 70s (I’ll try to go through some of the non obvious ones); Cisco Pike —Hackman had a supporting role but it’s a pretty good cast (all dead sadly) , Harry Dean Stanton, Kris Kristofferson. Night Moves. This one gets on great 70s movies lists but it’s not well known. James Woods and Melanie Griffin in early roles. It captures a lot of 70s vibes and pragmatism Prime Cut: more of a Lee Marvin film but Hackman has a fun role as the villain. It’s also a changing of the times film . 80s. Mississippi Burning. Hackman plays the bigot partner and he makes him sort of likable in the end Target: kind of a Cold War thriller w/Matt Dillion. Mentioned it because both actors seemed to be starring in different films 90s Narrow Margin: not sure where this one ranks but it’s a personal fave . The Quick and the dead ; he’s basically rehashing the Little Bill character but less evil. The best thing I’ve read about Hackman is that he made difficult men a little more understandable. You didn’t automatically think he was a one note or one dimensional character. Hackman and Denzel were both great in a personal favorite of mine, Crimson Tide Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean he’s functioning as the mayor there and punishing the three guys that defaced that prostitute. It’s just that the women paid for the bounty/hit and well chaos ensued. It’s pretty an anti western in terms of the hero William Munny. He’s basically a drunken POS, an awful human being , no where close to the heros of traditional westerns . Honestly the Richard Harris character might be the biggest POS in that movie because he’s a coward and liar. Probably not the best or most famous Hackman film, but I’ve ending up watching No Way Out a few times and it’s creeped up on me as a personal fav. It’s a remake but it’s the type I like where they just make it their own story . Also a really good 80s Cold War /subterfuge film. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Bill didn't punish the two guys. He's going to give the horses to the bar owner then just tells the hookers he whipped them. He also beat Ned to death. He may not be the bad guy, but he ain't the good guy either. He also didn't give out fair justice and it got him killed.

Frances Fisher role as one of the outraged whores in that film is one of my faves. I always get a kick out of how Eastwood rises up and becomes a totally different person after he drinks alcohol.
