THE FRENCH CONNECTION: Legendary filmmaker William Friedkin takes center stage in our newest Best Of retrospective, with four of his greatest works! In this gritty neo-noir crime thriller set in New York City, detective Jimmy “Popeye” Doyle (Gene Hackman) and his partner Buddy “Cloudy” Russo (Roy Scheider) attempt to thwart the plans of a French heroin smuggler. Based on a nonfiction book of the same name, THE FRENCH CONNECTION won five Academy Awards, including Best Picture, and is now considered one of the greatest films ever made.
