3. French Connection II (1975)
Thanks for this list. I often wonder why John Frankenheimer doesn’t get much of a mention when people talk about film history, he directed some great films.
French Connection II is one of my favourite thrillers of the 70s. Had it been a stand-alone ‘fish-out-of-water’ story and not a sequel, it would be regarded as a classic by now. Gene Hackman should have received a Best Actor nomination in my book.
I do agree that John Frankenheimer should at least get more credit than he is given considering that he directed The Manchurian Candidate. I really love the aforementioned director’s thrillers and yes, Gene Hackman should have at least been nominated for The French Connection II- a sequel that is every bit as great (If not better) than the original. Anyway, thanks for dropping by 🙂
