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.

Get Shorty (1995). Fun movie for any future Hackman poll.

Jason Dolan

Watched GET SHORTY last night - one of my favorite performances from Gene

Florian Meier

All great Films ... "The Firm", "No Way Out", " Mississippi Burning", "Hoosiers", "Absolute Power", "Superman" should be also on the List

Birdie Num Num

Scarecrow needs to be on there.

Tyler Foster

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

Tyler Foster

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.)

R.I.P Gene Hackman

Now that Gene Hackman has died, will you be doing a memoriam in your reaction to The Conversation?

Samolina Pilchard

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".

Florian Meier

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

Birdie Num Num

how bout a gene hackman poll? he made so many films.

Mike Miner

I'll join the others in saying RIP Gene Hackman. "The Conversation" is fantastic.

Florian Meier

R.I.P. Gene Hackman !!! One of the Greatest Actors of All Time !!!!!

Chris Bruneau

My God, Gene Hackman died today at age 95, we shall honor him by watching one of his greatest films together with Dan and Sam. RIP to one the greats! :(

Paul Cox

This reaction to The Conversation just took a somber turn. R.I.P. Gene Hackman.

Florian Meier

He was one of my All Time Favs too, so many great Films with him ... Outstanding Actor ... Very sad to hear ... but 95 is a good Age

Michael SCH

Such a sad day today as one of my favourite actors Gene Hackman (The Conversation, The French Connection, Mississippi Burning etc) passed away today at 95.

Neal Romanek

Good choice!

Neal Romanek

YES!

Neal Romanek

Jumping up and down like an excited kid for the Conversation reaction!

Sean

US Marshalls isn't as good as The Fugitive, but I'm delighted to watch you guys watch it.

Birdie Num Num

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)

TBR Schmitt

Thanks for the recommendations! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Should be Saturday! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Yes, agreed! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

Oof any movie released the same day as Jaws must have suffered! -Sam

Michael SCH

Agree!

brobbus0 .

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).

Michael SCH

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!

Birdie Num Num

do you know when All the President's Men is coming to youtube?

David Wilkins

Excellent!

Michael Buhl

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!

Paul Cox

@BNN Indeed, noted.

Joseph Axenroth

US Marshals is great.

Samolina Pilchard

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.

Chris Bruneau

that one's been my monthly movie choice for a while--its a GREAT film!!!!!

Birdie Num Num

@Paul Cox did she respond? Guess the clock is ticking, you never know how long something stays on streaming.

EdmanXERO

Man, I've been waiting for you guys to finally react to U.S. Marshals. Great sequel to The Fugitive. But first... COBRA KAAAAAAIIIIIII!!!!

Scott Kerr

You guys are waaaay too hooked to this stuff. You can't stop watching. Right? Don't worry, nobody blames you. ;)

John Fitzpatrick

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

They should do Dressed to Kill and Blow Out as a double feature.

John Fitzpatrick

The Day of the Jackal is much better than the POS remake.

TBR Schmitt

Why are we like this 😂 we’re cracking up at this comment! -Sam

TBR Schmitt

😂

TBR Schmitt

We have both seen Silver Linings Playbook but the others are on our list, thank you! -Sam

Chris Bruneau

OMG, the Conversation is a real classic, cant wait!! there has always been a rumor that its a "prequel" to a much later film -- Enemy of the State

Katie Sivak

Yay the last 5 ep of Cobra Kai are awesome Please watch Wind River 10 Things I Hate About You Kiss The Girls

Marcus Cato

"Also, when we say Cobra Kai is coming soon, we mean we are literally posting four episodes in the next five minutes." 😂

Marcus Cato

Funny it's on streaming now. A local theater is showing it soon as part of a series called Unstreamable. They actually sold out and had to move the screening to a larger venue. Looking forward to it.

Paul Cox

Yep, I messaged Sam about that as soon as I saw it was on Prime.

Smooticus

The next two episodes of BCS are stellar

Red Tail Zephier

Can't wait to watch The Conversation

Florian Meier

Oh my God !! What a Great Week !!! The Conversation is sooo Good !!! Another Masterpiece from Gene Hackman !!! US Marshalls is also a Great Sequel that i always loved !!!

VonPunk

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.

Birdie Num Num

are you sure about that? Soderbergh got 2 best director noms in one year - in 2001. and there are cases of this happening in the 30s.

Birdie Num Num

how bout Blow Out? makes good double feature with the conversation.

Birdie Num Num

It was just added to amazon prime(some here said it shouldn't be reacted to since it wasn't available to stream - so I guess now is a good time)

John Fitzpatrick

The Conversation!! It's about time!! Now you can do To Live and Die in L. A.

Scott Kerr

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.

Keith Brown

"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 .

Philip Davetas

US MARSHALLS is good, but it's no FUGITIVE.

James Miley

I second both The Natural and Hoosiers.

Duncan

Previously on TBR Schmitt ''Hey guys we are going to be slowing down a little on the channel'' Also TBRSchmitt 'Hey guys here's multiple episodes of Better call Saul,here is also 17 episodes of Cobra Kai,oh and some movies will be coming too''

Ryan Krogmann

So happy you guys are doing US Marshall's

VivendoBem

Be still my heart! THE CONVERSATION!!!! I'm gonna plotz!

Tyler Foster

THE CONVERSATION!!!!!!

Paul Cox

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!
