While i would not call it a great movie, I would call it the <b>Greatest Car Chase</b> movie since the whold film is basically one very long (but not boring!) car chase. Every guy with a gram of testosterone wanted a Dodge Challenger after seeing this film. ANd if they didn't have a gram I'm sure they could borrow a gram or two from some of the women that I remember at this movie. Leather pants were not an option, they were de rigeur.<br /><br />Vroom! Vroom!<br /><br /><b>Paul B.</b>, there is no neck so scrawny a T-neck cannot be found for. Hell, I've seen <a href="http://magazine.sharereactor.ru/2003-08/img_P3/2.jpg">Steve Buscemi</a> in turtlenecks (can't seem to find an image now..isn't that always the case).<br />So, self-viewed as scrawny or not, there's a <a href="http://www.foulmouthshirts.com/T_SHIRT_D/New/thumbnails/big/bigSNAKE-TURTLENECK.jpg"> turteleneck</a> for you.DarkoVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11572734667248592785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-3526182192024095772006-11-09T08:11:00.000-05:002006-11-09T08:11:00.000-05:00Geez Darkov — cracking up here!
My own neck'...Geez Darkov — cracking up here!<br /><br />My own neck's always been too scrawny for the turtlenecks. Don't smolder convincingly either — or slug/shoot/kiss, for that matter.

I state firmly that it is <i>Catch-22</i> that exhibits his talents the best. Why? His scenes in <i>Catch-22</i> are even shorter.<br /><br /><b>WP</b>, I agree with you about t-necks and <i>Bullitt</i>. It turned that hoity-toity effete apre ski-wear into clothing for smoldering silent guys who bit their lips before slugging/shooting/kissing you.

Of course, it also got American men to wear turtlenecks to work. My wife likes me in a turtleneck, so I won't complain.<br /><br /><br />ジョエル - yeah, there's not much to FC's chase when you set it alongside (choke) <i>Gone In 60 Seconds</i>, or (much better) <i>The Road Warrior</i>.Whisky Prajerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14076228013022881173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-77675772058034500572006-11-09T00:32:00.000-05:002006-11-09T00:32:00.000-05:00That scene at the end when Gene Hackman shot the o...That scene at the end when Gene Hackman shot the other cop and didn't care at all really shocked me when I first saw it. I wasn't even sure it had really happened and had to rewind and watch it again.<br /><br />The car chase wasn't all I thought it would be. Perhaps the problem of high expectations. I had heard so much about the infamous car chase scene, I was really expecting something spectacular, but its nothing by todays standards.Joel Swagmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948746083822200906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329706.post-57363539424769159532006-11-08T10:27:00.000-05:002006-11-08T10:27:00.000-05:00It's been a while since I've seen any of the movie...It's been a while since I've seen any of the movies, but you're right: <i>The French Connection</i> should be remembered for much more than a car chase. (Besides, <i>Bullitt</i>, starring Steve McQueen and out a couple of years before this movie, featured the mother of all car chases that no doubt influenced all that came after it.) For me, it was the gritty cinematography of it all -- more a documentary style than a slick moviehouse production.<br /><br /><i>Carnal Knowledge</i> has to be Art Garfunkel's best movie. I agree that it was an unsteady film, a bit meandering and never quite fulfilling.<br /><br />ACAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359624900128501794noreply@blogger.com
