Gene Hackman plays the part of real life, Lt.Col.Iceal Hambleton who was apparently one of the US.Army's top "thinkers" during the Vietnam War and who having thought out this particular reconnaissance plan ready for an attack the folllowing day on the Vietcong,insisted on going along on the flight.This was sheer lunacy and should have been blocked immediately by HIS Senior Officers because he was too valuable an officer to lose through either accident or capture.Also he had NEVER SEEN ACTIVE SERVICE IN HIS WHOLE CAREER!Needless to say,his plane was hit,he ejected and countless men lost their lives trying to rescue him.This DVD tells that story and the real Iceal Hambleton US.Army Rtd. has the input into the film.I SHOULD have believed HE WOULD be ...

4.Misunderstood [1984] starring: Gene Hackman, Henry Thomas, Rip Torn, Susan Anspach, Huckleberry Fox directed by: Jerry Schatzberg
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £7.25
I have loved this movie since I was a child when I first saw it. I tried to keep it on tape as I had recorded it and watches it repeatedly until it was taped over. A warm, moving film that has you in tears. It shows the intricacies of parent/ child relationships and the need for communication. Great cast and a movie that is MISUNDERSTOOD. A movie not to be missed if you are a weepie movie fan.

5.The Conversation [1974] starring: Gene Hackman, John Cazale, Allen Garfield, Frederic Forrest, Cindy Williams directed by: Francis Ford Coppola April 03, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £6.99
I have to agree with the other two recent reviews which found this movie less than entertaining. I fell asleep twice watching this - it's technically very good, yes, but entertaining? Certainly not. Give it a miss.

6.Wyatt Earp [1994] starring: Kevin Costner, Dennis Quaid, Gene Hackman, David Andrews, Linden Ashby directed by: Lawrence Kasdan April 27, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
Extraordinary film, well worth even twice the money. A cinematography delight in every respect. Doc Holliday steals the film with his wonderful quirky humour and his enigmatic screen prescence, nearly out-shining Mr Earp himself.

7.Superman 4 - The Quest For Peace [1987] starring: Christopher Reeve, Gene Hackman, Margot Kidder, Jackie Cooper, Marc McClure directed by: Sidney J. Furie January 01, 1997
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.98
this film is a bad attempt to a superman movie but im sorry after watching superman 3 this seems an academy award winner this isn't as bad as you'd think at least lex luthor is back in this one and superman is fighting a super villian. so if you do buy this film make sure you have seen the third one first then you wont think this is as bad

8.Night Moves [1975] starring: Arthur Penn\|Gene Hackman\|Jennifer Warren\|Susan Clark August 01, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £14.99
Harry Moseby is a private investigator with a marriage that's falling apart and an unwillingness to deal with his own personal issues. He used to play pro ball for Oakland; now he gets by with divorce work. He likes to solve chess problems. He's smarter than you think. One day he gets a call from a friend who says he's got a case for Harry. A 16-year-old girl, daughter of an alcoholic former small-time movie star and a deceased Hollywood mogul, has run away. Harry tracks the teenager down to an island off Florida and the home of her stepfather, Tom Iverson. Iverson and his wife, Paula, run a small charter boat operation. The days are filled with hot sunshine. The nights with puzzles and temptations. Harry intends to return the girl to her mother, but lands up to ... Read More:

9.Mississippi Burning [1989] starring: Gene Hackman, Willem Dafoe, Frances McDormand, Brad Dourif, R. Lee Ermey directed by: Alan Parker September 17, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £1.47
Highly underrated movie that should have won oscars for everything from the direction to the screenplay to the cinematography, to the camera work, to the editing to the haunting and dramatic music score. This film has it all and it all comes off superbly well even if it is a little predictable in places. This is also Gene Hackman at his stupendous best. A stunning performance that is arguably one of the best of all time--to be honest I like him here even more than I do Brando in the Godfather. He steals every single scene and he knows it, putting a riveting performance in its own right by Willem Defoe almost but not quite in the shade. Hackman's secret could well be that he never gives the impression that he's acting, but that this is for real. A huge ... Read More:

10.The Poseidon Adventure [1972] starring: Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Shelley Winters, Red Buttons, Carol Lynley directed by: Ronald Neame January 19, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £10.98
The original The Poseidon Adventure isn't exactly a film so good that it couldn't stand remaking. The first half hour before the wave hits is like a very badly written episode of The Love Boat, with painfully on the nose dialog ("What kind of priest are you?" "I'm a renegade! The very best kind!") and hideously stereotyped characters. In fact, truth to tell, it's a pretty pedestrian affair even after the ship goes bottom up: strip away its high concept and all you're really left with is a long, slow wade to the grave for some of the characters en route to the cheapest closing sequence ever fobbed off on an audience in a major studio picture. Aside from the odd bit of dialog about the importance of life in the face of death or Gene Hackman's occasional tirades about or against ... Read More:
