Gene Hackman is 80 today. He was born January 30, 1930, in San Bernadino, California. We just watched a movie he was in a few nights ago. I can't call it a Gene Hackman movie because he's not the star, although he's probably the most memorable character in a forgettable flick.
I've seen a lot of his movies over the years but the ones I most closely associate Gene Hackman are Bonnie and Clyde and Hoosiers. If I were to choose which one to watch to celebrate his birthday and career, it would be Hoosiers. As LohDaughter said after the very first time we saw it, "Let's watch that again."
