Is “None” an acceptable answer? He was pretty wooden in everything I’ve seen.

French Connection would probably be my vote, but not enthusiastically.

You can answer however you choose, my question but the “community’s” thread has always been my brief.

And don’t forget Young Frankenstein.

No one did!
Young Frankie is not a Gene Hackman movie, a mere brief cameo role for him.
Concentrate on the question, for, as it stands, your answer is meaningless.

Was his role meaningless? Is he included in the credits?

The difference being that I can offer a defense of my position.

ucme's avatar

I already did, you can’t because it was palpable bullshit!

stanleybmanly's avatar

That may well be true, but how about answering the questions?

The French Connection hands down.
