Gene Hackman retired from acting over a decade ago and it's all Ray Romano's fault. Since then he's been living in New Mexico and only made an appearance on Diners, Drive Inns and Dives.
Clint Eastwood attempted to lure him back with Gran Torino, but Hackman declined Walt Kowalski. Hackman escaped a broken by becoming a US Marine. When he got his honourable discharge his counselor suggested that he take up acting to help him reintegrate into civilian life. It was the best advice he ever got.
So what are his best films...there are so many:
1. The Conversation
2. The French Connection
3. Mississipi Burning
4. Unforgiven
5. The Royal Tannenbaums
6. The Poseidon Adventure
7. Hoosiers
8. Night Moves
9. The Quick and the Dead
10. Bonnie and Clyde
Ironically it was his long time friend Peter Boyle who persuaded him to make Welcome to Mooseport.
