Gene Hackman has passed away at the age of 95.
Gene was one of the greatest actors of his, or anyone's generation. He was a powerhouse, as adept at comedy as he was drama. Today is a very sad day, we've lost a legend. Gene was a giant of cinema.

Gene Hackman has passed away at 95
Gene going toe to toe with Denzel Washington in Crimson Tide (1995) is one of the most powerful scenes ever filmed. He was an absolute titan of cinema. We've lost an icon today.
RIP Gene Hackman

Planes, Trains and Automobiles was released OTD in 1987.
Steve Martin's epic car rental tirade with the brilliant Edie McClurg drops 19 'F' bombs in just 60 seconds. The movie would've easily been a PG were it not for this scene. Thank you, John Hughes, wherever you are.

Back to the Future was the biggest box office hit of 1985, spending two solid months at number 1. When I was a kid I thought Michael J. Fox was the coolest person on the planet. 40 years later, I still think Michael J. Fox is the coolest person on the planet.

My love letter to 80s cinema—A Sting Original.
Thank you for a decade of unforgettable films.

Charlton Heston was born on this day in 1923.
Best last-minute replacement actor EVER!

The Other Guys is 15 years old today.
One of the most underrated comedies of the last 20 years. It's worth it for Michael Keaton's TLC references alone... not that he's making any.

Leslie Nielsen pulls off a PERFECT Untouchables stairway shootout parody. The sheer number of gags squeezed into 3 minutes is incredible.

The Other Guys (2010)
Captain Gene is one of the best comedy creations in the past 25 years.
Michael Keaton dropping TLC refs is an inspired all-timer.

Top Gun (1985)
Val Kilmer has about 10 minutes screen time in Top Gun. That's how good he was. Top Gun was also released just one year after Real Genius, Val moved from goofy teen movies to the coolness of Iceman without even breaking a sw…

Full Metal Jacket (1987)
Stanley Kubrick allowed R. Lee Ermey to just wing it, an act practically unheard of for Kubrick. Ermey was so good, Kubrick rarely needed more than three takes per scenes, another rarity. R. Lee Ermey became a lege…

Blazing Saddles - A MEGA THREAD
Mel Brooks' quintessential Western parody, Blazing Saddles is 51 years old today, so let's do that voodoo that you do, so well! And celebrate one of the greatest comedies of all time with a MEGA THREAD.

Anti-film snob.
