    I like old 70s movies. The friends of Eddie Coyle is real good. Crime movie with Peter Boyle and Robert Mitchum who I consider to be a highly underrated actor. Great movie worth checking out

    Not technically a movie because it was too long , so they made it a mini series , but to me it was one of the best movies ever made.

    It is a great movie. Extremely tense.

    Have you seen Sorcerer? It is a remake directed by William Friedkin. I haven't seen it but it is supposed to be good.

    Another great one. I think it was supposed to be an influence on The Town which I liked as well.

    Although it takes place in Boston it reminds me of those dirty NYC films from the 70s. The Taking of Pelham One Two Three (which has Doris Roberts who played Peter Boyle's wife on Raymond) is a great one. Walter Matheau plays a transit cop dealing with a a hijacked subway train. The remake with Denzel Washington is good to.

    I would put The French Connection and Dog Day Afternoon in that same cstagory of dirty New York crime movies. Across 110th Street isn't as good but I liked it.

    Another Walter Matheau movie that just popped in my head is The Fortune Cookie. It is a comedy about a crooked lawyer using his hurt brother in law to scam money.
