Him, his wife and his dog found dead in the house ? Carbon Monoxide, possibly? Shame. I had no idea the guy was that old.

CO poisoning during cold still weather is not uncommon in old/poor houses heated by gas or oil here in western Europe. What is the weather like in, I assume California, now?

#38Drop your favourite Hackman movies! Heres mine: --= The Conversation (1979) =-- "Schizo surveillance guy gets a contract that starts to derail things" is the basic premise, but there is more going on - "it has layers". Francis Ford Coppola filmed this in between Godfather I & II. I believe it is less famous only because the target audience is smaller, not due to its quality. The editing is perfect, the pacing just ri…
Night Moves is essential neo-noir

Former tennis pro, Vitas Gerulaitis, died from carbon monoxide poisoning from a faulty propane heater.
