The French Connection

Top 100 (#70/93); Thrills (#8); Heroes - Jimmy "Popeye" Doyle (#44)

I didn't find this "out and out thriller" all that thrilling. The story of two New York City cops trying to gather evidence of a French mob connection to their small time drug dealers could have been thrilling, but with the exception of a scene or two, it really wasn't. Most of the movie was stakeouts and tailing people, with a car chase thrown in. Very little dialogue, just people following each other around the city.
