neutral · AI labelView post →in 6 years John Cazale was in The Godfather 1 and 2, Dog Day Afternoon, The Conversation and The Deer Hunter. Then he died. In those 6 years he achieved more as a film actor than anyone in film history. He made ZERO bad movies in those 6 years. He was loved. He was amazing. What an absolute master

They've currently got The Zone of Interest, Minority Report, I Saw the TV Glow, The Conversation, the original Indian Jones movies, etc. Also rare older stuff like Trace of Stones (1966). Kanopy is neat.
neutral · AI labelView post →I just recently watched The Conversation. What a fantastic movie. Get into Gene Hackman's early catalog. The French Connection is superb as well.
positive · AI labelView post →Happy big 95 to Gene Hackman. The Conversation might actually be the best movie of the '70s. And when I don't get in my head about the "real" answer, I sometimes think it's the best movie I've ever seen. He'll kill you if he gets a chance.

neutral · AI labelView post →I just loved watching this guy act. Every movie I ever saw him in, Gene Hackman could steal a movie with a single scene (Young Frankenstein) or hold you rapt by himself start to finish (The Conversation). A true gem

neutral · AI labelView post →One of my gifts from @andrewmale.bsky.social was this magnificent book by Walter Murch, editor of numerous films including The Conversation (discussed at length within.) If you have any interest at all in the technical side of filmmaking I cannot recommend it highly enough. Already halfway through!
neutral · AI labelView post →I recently rewatched The Conversation and The Long Goodbye and modern film suffers from a dearth of movies about just weird guys walking around
positive · AI labelView post →Going to watch The Conversation tonight as my Hackman appreciation film. Might also watch The French Connection. Could see myself also watching Tenenbaums. Maybe Crimson Tide. Shit I better call in sick tomorrow.

positive · AI labelView post →51 years ago, Francis Ford Coppola gave us THE CONVERSATION—a quiet storm of paranoia, guilt, and moral decay. A masterclass in tension. A film that never stops echoing. cinephiliabeyond.org/the-conversa...

neutral · AI labelView post →Gene Hackman what a wonderful actor. Truly one of my favourites. His Harry Caul in THE CONVERSATION is one of the best performances when it comes to developing an internalized character. #RIPGeneHackman m.youtube.com/watch?v=Ue7W...

positive · AI labelView post →Duvall's uncredited role in "The Conversation" is essentially a cameo, but when he appears the movie shifts somewhere new---the viewer realizes Hackman's protagonist is just a minor supporting actor in a drama he doesn't comprehend: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGOm...

neutral · AI labelView post →Upcoming Off-Broadway musical called THE CONVERSATION is apparently not at all based on the Gene Hackman movie but — too late — I am already sat for a devastating saxophone-centric final number.
neutral · AI labelView post →The theme for Severance is a straight-up knockoff of this track from The Conversation. The leitmotif recurs several times throughout the film, including near the end.

neutral · AI labelView post →"Produced between The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, 'The Conversation' was the only film that Coppola made that he scripted alone, without drawing from a literary source. Coppola’s brilliant film predicted a future in which the more we think we know about human beings, the less we likely do."

neutral · AI labelView post →This is literally the plot device in The Conversation. Great Coppola film.
neutral · AI labelView post →I was trying to explain to my children that a movie can be small and quiet and slow but still tense and thrilling and exciting. As if to prove it to myself, I rewatched The Conversation. Still works.
positive · AI labelView post →Gary Oldman said in an interview with Colbert that his favorite movie was "The Conversation" starring Gene Hackman, so I gave it a watch and for a movie with no action it keeps the suspense up for the entire movie
positive · AI labelView post →Some old sketches from The Conversation, everyone’s favorite Gene Hackman film. My personal favorite is Hoosiers. Love that movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Gene Hackman's favourite role, in his opinion, was Young Frankenstein, but he felt that his best film was probably The Conversation. It was back in cinemas last year, and I reviewed that spruced-up version below. It's a conspiracy theory thiller perfect for today. film-authority.com/2024/07/03/t...

positive · AI labelView post →One of my favorite fan theories is that Gene Hackman's character in Tony Scott's Enemy of the State (1998) is really Harry Caul from Coppola's The Conversation (1974) living deep undercover for 24 years. #GeneHackman #filmsky #moviesky
neutral · AI labelView post →Gene Hackman RIP. What an actor. I'm not sure if THE CONVERSATION is his best film, but it's the one I always think of when I'm doing DIY.
positive · AI labelView post →not seeing WICKED tonight so naturally i’m watching the spiritual predecessor to that film - 1974s THE CONVERSATION
neutral · AI labelView post →Yeah this doesn't take away from how great the "The Conversation" is, but Coppola should never make another movie
