Movie #93 : The French Connection

Watchability:  0
Another movie that MAY have been good in its time but with only one very week plot and probably at most 30 minutes of actual dialogue in an hour and 45 minutes, this movie is an epic fail.

Family Guy: 2
From what we can find online, there is a Cleveland Show reference to Gene Hackman.

Relevance:  None.  We are shocked that as recently as 1971 only 1 plotline was acceptable much less only one plot and an absence of interaction could win Gene Hackman an Oscar AND shoot him to stardom.  If only we could be actors in that simpler time of weak plots and innovations such as an elevated train/car chase scene to make us STARS!!!!
We may need someone to explain to us WHY movies are included on this list of Greatest Movies OF ALL TIME because our requirements would include longevity, relevance, entertainment value and significance to time period.  It's the TOP 100 MOVIES OF ALL TIME!!!  We didn't expect to have to endure each film!!!!  We thought we'd actually get to enjoy them.
