I love movies, always have, always will. I love good movies even more! So, I decided it was time to make sure I've seen what's commonly accepted as the 100 greatest, as decided by the AFI. Some of the movies on the list I've seen a million times, some I've seen maybe once when I was little. With the help of my streaming subscription to Netflix, and getting my little red envelopes in the mail too, I will definitely conquer this list - and I can't wait! Please feel free to watch along or add comments about your movies as I watch them! Get the popcorn and milkduds ready!

# 93 The French Connection

1971
Starring: Gene Hackman, Roy Scheider
Director: William Friedkin

Narcotic cops in NYC chase down a drug dealer & associates. The movie was supported by great actors- Gene Hackman played a strong lead.  Interesting to watch the wire-tapping and compare to how things are done now with all the technological advances.  (ALSO interested to not that this movie won the Best Picture oscar over A Clockwork Orange, which I would have to say was a better movie.)
Good car-chasing-train scene... All in all a good movie, but not great in my opinion.
