Who doesn't like Gene Hackman? Seriously, I'd like to meet just one person who can resist him. He's not particularly handsome, and he's never looked young (even when he was young), but there's something totally wonderful and irresistible about him. He's not flashy nor is his life full of scandal and wild adventures (unless you count a quiet divorce and rooming with Dustin Hoffman wild). But he is Gene Hackman and his Gene Hackmanosity is what makes us all love him so much.
Watch him in this week's movie, Night Moves, and be sure to see him in other gems like The Conversation (possibly his best movie), The Royal Tenenbaums, Bonnie and Clyde, and The French Connection. Hey, enjoy a Gene Hackman marathon even, you'll find plenty of people to join you because everybody loves this guy.
But what do you think?
