Everyone knows Gene Hackman is one of the greatest actors and everyone knows his famous films like Unforgiven, Bonnie and Clyde and The French Connection. But what I'm wondering is: what are his films that are lesser known and/or underrated that are also good? He's got a big filmography so it stands to reason there are some largely unknown gems in there. So, what are they?
>>
Pretty good late Cold War flick.
>>
Not really unknown at all but he was fantastic in Get Shorty
>>
This guy made bad movies watchable
>>
Night Moves -- although it's far from underrated nowadays. Very good neo-noir.

None of his films are largely unknown. Anyway, here's a good one.
>>
He's hilarious in Heartbreakers
>>85958415

Young Frankenstein

>Never trust a nigger

Was Popeye Doyle /ourguy/?

I honestly thought he died in the late 90s and he really played for a football team in the 70s

This. Very kino.

The Royal Tenenbaums was the first thing I saw him in as a boy, have loved his films ever since.

>>85960094
I was surprised that the writer wrote that, considering his views. Maybe Friedkin added that.
>>
>>85958235
This is the first thing that came to mind
>>85957836
Also the first thing that came to mind

But really the first film that came to mind was Scarecrow

>>85957795
That's Bill O'Reilly though

>>85956736
Behind enemy lines.

>>85956736
Welcome to Mooseport contains the mysteries of both his being and humanity itself. Terrifying exploration.
>>
Birdcage, but its more of a Robin Williams movie
>>
Heist is also worth a mention and I didnt see Crimson tide mentioned yet

>>
The Poseidon Adventure

the french connection is so well-made that it's scary.

>>85960094
if /tv/ had existed in the 70s, there would be tons of memes centered around that one scene

what was his fucking problem?
>>
>>85962025
That movie has the perfect balance of crude drag humor and actual witty writing. Hackman is perfect as that Congressman.
>>
He kicks ass in Crimson Tide as does the rest of the cast
>>
>>85963836
A classic meme
