For this month’s next Toptober Tens, Here are my Top Ten Favorite Gene Hackman films.

Off we go….
10. Mississippi Burning (1988)
9. I Never Sang for My Father (1970)
8. The Package (1989)
7. Enemy of the State (1998)
6. Crimson Tide (1995) 
5. The French Connection (1971)
4. Hoosiers (1986)
3. Superman (1978)
2. The Conversation (1974)
- Unforgiven (1992)
What do you think?
One of my favorite actors. Good choice Rob. Again – making my list 1st and looking at yours after…
10). NO WAY OUT
9). Scarecrow
8). UNDER FIRE
7). The Birdcage (he’s a riot. Wait for the movie’s last line)
6). BONNIE & CLYDE (at 6 only because it’s a supporting role)
5). The Royal Tennenbaums
4). MISSISSIPPI BURNING
3). Hoosiers
2). UNFORGIVEN
1). The French Connection
With shout outs to French Connection II – not as widely seen as the first – but he’s excellent. Especially in the scenes where he goes cold turkey to get off the heroin. Also The Firm, and Enemy of the State.

We shared only 40%. I did like The Package, but the film itself had a lot of plot holes in it, so lost points for that. Lex Luthor at #3? Surprised. He chewed so much scenery in that movie that I’m surprised he didn’t need an internist. That was a paycheck movie – not classic Hackman by any stretch.
