French Connection is one of the best movies ever

@TheDrYes Irrelevant. "The Godfather," regardless of whether it took "a whole extra hour to match-up," is still the superior film.

[TheDrYes]

@empyreon1e but arguably of course, the godfather took a whole extra hour to just match up

[empyreon1e]

@92af The French Connection's a good movie, great even, but "The Godfather" is a masterpiece from start to finish. Not even close.

This is one of the greatest movies of all time! My father used to talk abut it when i was a kid growing up in Dublin, I only saw it for the first time 20 years later a few months back & it blew me away!

French Connection is much better than The Godfather is

@jk1153 Gene Hackman, and Gene Hackman alone, will always be Popeye Doyle. Nobody else has a chance, i'm sorry. He is my favourite actor and this is his very best performance in one of my favourite films. And the coen brothers remaking the french connection just wouldn't fit at all - it's like getting kubrick to direct a 24 episode. The only director who would come close is david fincher, who wouldn't do it. But, man, if they even consider remaking this, I will lose ALL faith in hollywood.

Still the best cop film ever made, mixing humor (the visual of Doyle as Santa Claus beating up a pusher; Cloudy alternately trying to stop Doyle from killing the guy but all but ready to do it himself) with toughness, glitter (Chanier and Devereaux) and grit (Doyle and Russo's efforts and their feud with Mulderig and Simonson), and powerful action (Doyle chasing the El in a car; the crematorium shootout).

I remember when i saw French Connection for the first time...i had goose bumps and sweaty hands the whole movie...Gene was such a badass here

The sequel is also amazing

For me best two movies I have ever seen
