I also thought about A Simple Plan. Same pair of stars. Sam Raimi directing? Still blows my mind.

2024-06-27 23:09:55 +0000 UTCThat’s going to be a regular entry for the monthly drawing. Probably the only way we’ll see it. But it’s a classic, and I’m not even a Paxton fan.

2024-06-15 15:59:05 +0000 UTCDespite the original being non-fiction and the sequel totally fiction, I highly prefer French Connection II to the first one.

2024-06-01 10:51:57 +0000 UTCIf French Connection wins than afterwards check out French Connection II directed by "Ronin" director John Frankenheimer !

Chris Bruneau
2024-06-01 05:31:47 +0000 UTCCome on Donnie Brasco fans! We're so close!
Joseph Axenroth
2024-06-01 04:18:08 +0000 UTCWhile I try not to bite my tongue so hard I lose it, I will say I'm really excited that The French Connection seems on track to win. Also, because that's what it looks like, I will get in a note early that you should definitely check out the sequel. French Connection is considered an all-time classic, and sequels have a tough time even when the original isn't held in such high regard, but Gene Hackman is really great in it, and it has a really inspired subversion of one of the original's most famous sequences (although I'll be vague since you haven't watched it yet). On the surface, it's kinda silly given that its whole existence diverges, in a very Hollywood way, to the true story that vaguely inspired the original, but in a career full of great performances, I think French Connection II still makes Hackman's top 10.
Tyler Foster
2024-06-01 02:51:46 +0000 UTCI'm so glad to see it so well respected here. Nobody I knew had heard of it or seen it until I had them watch it, and then each felt as strongly about it as I did.

2024-06-01 01:58:02 +0000 UTC👏🗣! It deserves to be seen!
Trepanation21
2024-06-01 01:57:48 +0000 UTCAbsolutely agreed. This is a great list, but Wind River is a very powerful film.

2024-06-01 01:56:51 +0000 UTC😭
Trepanation21
2024-06-01 01:56:05 +0000 UTCOh no, Wind River! To be clear, the movies ahead of it are great, and should be watched. But Wind River *really* needs to make it to a viewing here. It's perfect for them, and those of you that haven't seen it not only should, but we should all watch it (again) here with TBR! Please include it in your votes alongside the one you're cheering for!
Trepanation21
2024-06-01 01:55:35 +0000 UTCFarewell Wind River. You deserved better.

2024-06-01 01:11:52 +0000 UTCI know it's in third place right now but PLEASE consider Wind River. Great acting and the subject matter is very powerful

2024-05-31 23:52:12 +0000 UTCcool to see 2 friedkin films here. with arguably the 2 best car chase scenes of all time.
Birdie Num Num
2024-05-31 20:54:40 +0000 UTCI'd love to see "Lock Stock" pull into the lead, or "To Live and Die in LA" win after being way behind like a horse race. Great choices all around, though.
Brandon

2024-05-31 19:19:20 +0000 UTCI agree. The scene in the diner may be my favourite scene of all time, in anything.

2024-05-31 18:02:37 +0000 UTCI think Thief is Caan's best film.
John Fitzpatrick
2024-05-31 16:44:59 +0000 UTCTheir (1981) is my favourite heist film ever. Written and directed by Michael Mann, who also did Heat. I love heat, but i think Thief is even better.

2024-05-31 16:36:34 +0000 UTCI've got the Shout Factory Blu-ray.
John Fitzpatrick
2024-05-31 14:46:03 +0000 UTCYou should do Thief with James Caan.
John Fitzpatrick
2024-05-31 14:45:10 +0000 UTCWind River is by far the best movie on this list.
Justin
2024-05-31 14:44:38 +0000 UTCI gotta go with Donnie Brasco but Wind River is a fantastic film. Either of those two would be great to see on the channel.

2024-05-31 08:44:15 +0000 UTCWind River deserves to win. It's such a great movie.

2024-05-31 07:45:28 +0000 UTCOh man. Kudos to whomever(s) got To Live And Die In LA onto the polls. It's got my vote!

2024-05-31 07:01:52 +0000 UTCWind River is so good.
Dor
2024-05-31 06:39:14 +0000 UTCNote: While I don't expect it to win, it's worth mentioning anyway that 'To Live and Die...' is another one you can't find on streaming platforms. Occasionally it pops up on TCM, but buying the Blu-ray or DVD is the only reliable option.
Paul Cox
2024-05-31 06:35:54 +0000 UTCEspecially confusing as they happily reprinted the uncensored Blu-ray. Didn't hear that it was fixed on Max, but it might be risky to go for it only for it to end up being the wrong version, although someone who's seen it could check it first.
Tyler Foster
2024-05-31 06:34:21 +0000 UTCFantastic to see Bonnie And Clyde listed. Great list, in general, but definitely happy to see Bonnie And Clyde listed, I cannot believe there's no reaction to that movie yet. Donnie Brasco, damn, would love to see that win too! Badlands. Monster is great, Christina Ricci is so underrated in that movie. Great poll!

2024-05-31 06:22:59 +0000 UTCWhy would they censor The French Connection. It's perfect. It won Best Picture. WTF.
Mark Kelso
2024-05-31 06:21:06 +0000 UTCI haven't tried to stream The French Connection recently, but from what I can tell with a quick search is the original edit was restored on Max as recently as last October, and maybe elsewhere too, but Prime still had the edited version. Can't find any news newer than that, though.
Paul Cox
2024-05-31 06:20:33 +0000 UTCMy favourite films of 2017 were Dunkirk, Baby Driver and Wind River. Glad to see it here.

Patrick Crippen
2024-05-31 06:05:08 +0000 UTCLock Stock for the win. That and Snatch were great, before Guy Ritchie started his epic bombing run of shitty movies. Except maybe the Robert Downey Jr Sherlock Holmes. But that was more RDJ being great than Guy Ritchie being great.

Shepherd Kelley
2024-05-31 06:00:26 +0000 UTCNever in your lives will you see a New York movie that has more New York stuffed into every moment of it than The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3. Also, sorry if anyone likes it, but please, please stay far away from the Tony Scott remake of the movie, which may be the worst remake I've ever seen. Scott even made a much better movie in the same vein that you can watch instead, called Unstoppable. Also, be aware that The French Connection has been censored on all digital services for some inexplicable reason. The only way to get the uncensored version is physical media.
Tyler Foster
2024-05-31 05:59:59 +0000 UTCHave seen all of these except for 'Lock, Stock...' and 'Wind River,' but I'm definitely into any winner here. Pelham 1 2 3 is probably my first choice, but it's close!
Paul Cox
2024-05-31 05:51:36 +0000 UTCPelham 123 for sure. Glad to see older films represented here.
