re: Favorite Gene Hackman Movie

It looks as though not enough people have seen The French Connection. I think Hackman himself would tell you that this is the role he put the most into, as he played Popeye Doyle - a real-life character (who actually plays Hackman's boss in the film).

Please rent this classic and give your opinion. It's a 1971 film, so don't expect it to be like Transformers or anything. Still, the best car chase scene in any movie around.
