The French Connection is much better than The Godfather is

This movie, like Bullitt starring Steve McQueen, are historic in film making, and should be the gold standard to follow. I just love these immortal classics.

@fhddriver

It was based from a true story.

The sequel on the other hand...not so much.

Great movie, but i feel like a lot of things in it were only not regarded as cliched because nobody else had done them yet

[summonlove1]

not sayin this is a bad movie, actually its very good, but i think a clockwork orange should have won the oscar

@popey111 The bar at the beginning of the movie, The "Oasis" where Popeye and Cloudy are wearing the Santa Claus & hot dog vendor disguises still stands. It's on Broadway in Brooklyn, near Myrtle Avenue, currently remade into a Chinese take-out restaurant. The Broadway elevated is still overhead, currently the M & J train lines.

@popey111 I too have tracked down as many of the actual NYC shooting locations I can find. The restaurant, the "Copain", was at the corner of 1st avenue and 50th street. "The Chez" is still a mystery. The bar at the very beginning of this trailer stood on Myrtle Avenue near Broadway, Brooklyn. It's since been replaced by a Dunkin' Donuts shop - and a "Popeye's" fried chicken franchise!
