    My buddy and I are watching a 70s film a night we havent seen. Not sure what tomorrow will be but so far French Connection is crushing Serpico. Maybe tomorrow will be Dog Day Afternoon.

      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        One of my favorites. The sequel isn't half bad either. You might have already seen it but I suggest Chinatown. However unlike tFC2, stay away from The Two Jakes.

          I've heard The Two Jakes is on par with the last Godfather...

            Godfather III never happened. Neither did:

            Caddyshack 2
            Slap Shot 2
            Matrix Reloaded (yeah, I said it)
            Weekend at Bernie's II
            Cannonball Run II
            Superman IV

              DDA is Pacino's best performance. By far. And I love the Godfather; for once I'm not just being a contrarian.

                Consider reading the book, I think you would appreciate (hard to say "enjoy") it. I read it in JHS which was probably A Bad Idea (also read The Choirboys, which was just about as much as my 13-year old brain could take). It is methodical -- it's very much a procedure story. It's seedy AF and a true story. I think it may be one of the best stories of actual police work.

                        I refreshed my mind and OK you're right.

                        70% of the songs are complete garbage (Season of the Witch, Maybe I'm Wrong, everything John Goodman does, everything in New Orleans in other words everything Paul Schaffer touched).

                        But it has these amazing gems, all of them not just great songs but great renditions:

                        Born in Chicago <-- god bless* Matt Guitar Murphy
                        The Blues Don't Bother Me
                        Cheaper to Keep Her
                        634-5789
                        John the Revelator <-- a particularly great version

                        * No, seriously.

                            I'm a bit older than you but read the French Connection and Serpico before I saw the movies. which ended up being reports for HS classes. Enjoyed both, but I prefer books over movies.

                            I also learned to NEVER watch a movie adaptation from a book if the film was directed by Otto Preminger or Dino Dilaurentis.

                              I didn’t hate Generations. It was preceded by a lot of garbage. And some of the movies after First Contact (which was excellent) were even worse.
