The French Connection(1971)(Movies To See Before You Die-Thriller)

One of the costliest yet most successful movies of American Film History. The film is also considered as the most grand and lavish flick ever made in American Cinema. Though you can call it a bit dramatic in current times, but still it is a treat to watch Gene Hackman, Fernando Rey & Roy Scheider together on the celluloid playing historical characters.
The new sequel is not recommended as its more looking all fake and deliberate. The prequel has more depth in it and leaves a better impact on the viewer. Making a thriller of such scale at that time of the century is really unimaginable.  The unforgettable musical score by Don Ellis is also included among the finest works of the maestro.  A fine example of Cinematic Class.
Directed By William Freidkin
Starring : Fernando Rey, Roy Scheider & Gene Hackman 
Music By Don Ellis
