RIP Gene Hackman, one of the great actors from the New Hollywood era. However, people praise The Conversation without even mentioning Francis Ford Coppola. Let's not forget Francis remarkable film genius.

My suggestions should a Hackman poll become a reality for March:
• The Birdcage
• Enemy of the State
• French Connection II
• Get Shorty
• Heist
• Night Moves
• Quick and the Dead, The

The Conversation was already my most-anticipated video of the week and that was before it became a tribute to Gene. If U.S. Marshals goes up first I may lose my mind slightly. Just kidding. (Probably.)

Now that Gene Hackman has died, will you be doing a memoriam in your reaction to The Conversation?
John Fitzpatrick
2025-02-28 00:53:49 +0000 UTC
Absolutely. So many good movies of his to watch - "Mississippi Burning", "Bonnie and Clyde", "Get Shorty'', "Hoosiers", "Superman" (he's the only Lex Luther as far as I'm concerned). "French Connection 2" (Not as good as the original, but he's still good in it), "Enemy of the State" (which I think has some nice callbacks to "The Conversion'). "The Firm", Geez there's so many. We lost a legend folks. The Academy Awards are Sunday, I hope they have enough time to put together a nice tribute.
Also don't forget Dan saw him in his cameo in "Young Frankenstein".

Great Idea !!! They watched French Connection, Royal Tenenbaums, Unforgiven, Crimson Tide and now The Conversation ... But He has so much more !!! You can make 2 Polls only with Hackman Classics

3 days left on the polls and they are going down to the wire. Action poll has Face/Off leading The Warriors by 2 votes and Foreign poll has Run Lola Run leading City of God by 3 votes. You are allowed to vote for multiple films, so maybe a tie in both polls would be appropriate(for all those who only vote for one film)

I don't think there is a single Marathon Man reaction on YouTube. Such a shame. Great thriller, with great performances (especially Olivier, terrifying villain).

Looking forward to watching 'The Conversation' reaction. Hopefully, you can continue to watch more paranoia/surveillance thrillers such as The Manchurian Candidate (1962), Klute (1971), The Parallax View (1974), Three Days of the Condor (1975), Marathon Man (1976), Capricorn One (1977), Blow Out (1981) and so on!

The Conversation threw me at first because the beginning is a little chaotic, but when I watched it all the way through to the end I decided that it's a masterpiece. I'm glad you are watching it!

Or Blow Up and Blow Out, Blow Up is the movie that inspired Blow Out. Although they are quite different movies they share obvious themes.

Now that you're doing The Conversation, you ought to do Night Moves, also with Gene Hackman. It's definitely overlooked (it was released the same day as Jaws). It's coming out on Criterion Blu-ray in March.
John Fitzpatrick
2025-02-22 16:08:02 +0000 UTC
They should do Dressed to Kill and Blow Out as a double feature.

Florian Meier

Excellent I love sequel reactions, need more of them.
I've requested The Conversation a few times, it's good tonal follow up to some movies you've recently watched and a completion of John Cazale's short but stellar 5 movie career, so happy to see that one getting reacted to.
Another old smart classic to check out is 'The Day of the Jackal' from 1973, it stands up as well as The Godfather movies imo.

Hey there we go. US Marshals. Been waiting for that one. It's definitely not as thrilling as The Fugitive but it's definitely a worthy film nonetheless.
Scott Kerr
2025-02-22 09:28:14 +0000 UTC
"The Conversation" was Frances Ford Coppola's other movie that he had the same year with "The Godfather Part II up for Best Picture . The Oscar rules stated the director's category you could only be nominated for director for one movie so Coppola was up and won for Part II .

I'm excited you're reacting to The Conversation, but I'm also a little sad I can't vote for it in vain in your polls anymore lol. It used to be Dog Day Afternoon, then The Conversation, and with Fright Night currently winning the horror poll, I'm going to have to find a new underdog!

You guys should do Silver Linings Playbook! And a sports poll with The Natural, Hoosiers (starring Gene Hackman!), and other classics.
