I saw this a few weeks ago!!! Well, about 10 minutes in the middle, to be honest. Just channel-surfin'. A very odd scene, compared to modern movies.
RIP Gene ❤️

My favourite movie of his is Night Moves, from 1975, where he plays a private detective. Great actor. RIP.

He was in a lot more than just those.
As listed above by various people, Mississippi Burning, several Superman films, Bonnie & Clyde.
Then also Get Shorty, A Bridge Too Far, Reds that I remembers seeing him in, and going on for a hundred others that I've either not seen or didn't remember.

For Watergate-era paranoia and bleakness, you could do a lot worse than The Conversation.

Precisely. There aren't that many who could ever do the good guy and the bad guy convincingly and draw you into the story. IMO.

I like the theory that his character in Enemy of the State, is an older continuation of his character in The Conversation.

Great performance in “The Birdcage” as the conservative senator.
So funny when his family had to be smuggled out of the drag club at the end.
He was in a dress and blond wig singing “we are family” looking very uncomfortable.
Told his driver who was waiting outside to meet him at a certain place in 10 mins, he responded something like, “Lady, not for a million bucks”.
Brilliant actor, so sad.

I haven't seen a lot of him in films as mainly into science fiction but recently I started watching Invaders again and I know he is in at least one episode of that. Just can't seem to get into political or conspiracy movies, or police and military movies but do occasionally watch a western or two.

It's just been said on a reliable tv/radio news source that carbon monoxide poisoning has been ruled out following a check of their home for signs of the deadly gas. It also said that both bodies were almost mummified due to the probably two weeks time lapse from their deaths to being found and the very dry air conditions over the last few weeks, resulting in partial mummification rather then severe decomposition which requires significant humidity to take place. One of their German Shepherd dogs was found dead close to the bodies of Gene Hackman and his wife, while their other two dogs were found alive in outside kennels, albeit severely dehydrated and very hungry! 🤔
