Jesus! I wasn't expecting The French Connection to be so spectacular! Gene Hackman's always so electrifying. One of the greatest films to have blessed the world of cinema, period.

Don’t make films like this anymore 🤩

The original Dirty Harry

in this movie gene hackman really looked a lot like james gandolfini (tony soprano)

Film making that was ahead of it's time.

Rest in Peace Mr. William Friedkin

Rest in Peace to William Friedkin. He directed great films like this one, The Exorcist and Rules of Engagement, the war drama that had similar vibes to A Few Good Men

You will be remembered as legends.

The setting of this movie is a perfect storm of urban decay and now classic cars. This can never be replicated.

The best part about older movies like this is the background scenario, as in the cars, the clothing people wore, ect.
Films like this allow you to study history...and if 'clip' the right scenes, you can almost create a museum.

I just want to see the car chasing the train 😂🚂

TCM version missing famous pursuit scene?

It's French Connection night, Bella Queen 🤤❤️‍🔥👑

They could let AI enhance old films to crisp 4k

When trailers were trailers.

Rip sammy Wilson 1934 2022

Terribly boring movie. An alcoholic hovel bound cop who is just obsessed with collaring the bad guys. Give me a break.

This film is stellar from start to finish. That best picture Oscar was well deserved!

This movie sort of introduced America to the unseemly side of NY in the early 70s, which other than some obscure movies , America hadnt seen since the Man With The Golden Arm, and that was heavily coded. Its interesting that American Cinema followed Gene Hackmans' career path in the 70s. From the gritiness of the French connection and Deux to the introspective less gritty Conversation to the glitz and fantasy of 1978s Superman. Miss you Gene, they don't make actors like you these days.

Love this flick! Classic af

Camus... DCN

A Great Movie.
One of my favorites

Is this movie based on gene gotti?

Where’s Batman when you need him?!?!

Memorable to me for having really piss poor audio.

Trumbull , Kirby was like the film--jimmy stevens 1533 merrick 4807

This is one of my favorite movies.

What a great movie

Great movie. But damn, this trailer is fantastic! The gritty gumshoe narrator, slick edits, tense score; did Freidkin himself make it? Loved it

An example of all that is wrong with police. The idea that this was presented as an example of a "good" cop" is an insult to police. This is the kind of cop that's get people killed and unconvicted.

Truly superb film

en memoire 1 membres de la famille qui a travaillé pour la french connection (le vrai) et le 2eme qui etait un dealer agés de 62 ans et en vie.............ils ont laissé ses heritiers nouvel generation en france ................ avec un doigt d'honneur pour l'amerique d'aujourd'hui!!! HAHAHAHA!!!

bumm a fejbe...

BOTH ACTORS; (ALL ACTORS) THIS WHOLE MOVIE WAS GREAT!

Am I the only one that thought the back to back shots of Popeye driving on Stillwell Avenue, 86th street, and New Utrecht avenue and cutting to the train back and forth was unintentionally funny? XD This is not indicting that whether this was a classic or not. It's a classic no question, but all old movies had that unintentional silliness. I don't know why, but I think it's because this was 1971, so like any other old movie, and movies before this, there was no technological advances yet

Grande gene Hackman !!! In questo film è un vero "mastino" al servizio della legge !! Non per niente ottiene per questo film il suo primo Oscar , come attore protagonista . Ne otterrà poi un secondo per "Gli spietati" . Oggi ha 90 anni compiuti quest'anno . E' nato nel 1930, come Clint Eastwood , il grandissimo Clint Eastwood !!
