There will be countless tributes, and rightly so. But Hackman was about the work. So today, simply put on The French Connection, or The Conversation, or Unforgiven, or Superman, or The Royal Tenenbaums et al. Remind yourself what screen presence truly means.

To me, the Indy films never fit the bill of blockbuster. They are too knowingly a pastiche, too gloriously enriched by tradition, and (in terms of the original trilogy), a love song to physical stunts. #Spielberg

I like many things about The Fabelmans, but it felt needless. Spielberg had poeticised his suburban childhood to immortal effect in E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. Don't wish away the potency of the fairy tale. #Spielberg

The start of something big. Spielberg's second and third feature films set the manifesto for the greatest career in postwar cinema. Genre infused with a sense of luminous mystery. #spielberg

Almost without my knowing, this became the most personal thing I have ever written. I guess, these films just do that to you.
