Kramer vs Kramer would have been better if there was arm wrestling in it.

I voted Hackman, Nicholson and Brando… and apparently so did everybody else.

As a side note, does anyone else wish we could have just once had Hackman and Nicholson in a movie together? I would have loved to see that.

I think Jack was the best with close second and third between Gene and Marlon. All great performances

The more and more I see Gene Hackman in movies, the more I think he's one of the best to do it.
