Get your Director's Cut of the French Connection now before all you're left with is the edited Disney version. 

Popeye's here!

Just saw that on twitter.  He had a good run.  RIP.

RIP. I stumbled upon Sorcerer recently because I found the OST on Spotify. Quirky, dated movie but worth a watch. Apparently it got lost/tanked because it released the same time as Star Wars. The soundtrack is pretty kickass, 70's electronic music by Tangerine Dream.

Not saying Disney should do it, but a remake of the French Connection isn't the worst remake idea ever.

"The Exorcist was one of the first 10 Great Showdowns I ever painted back in the year 2010 for the initial Crazy 4 Cult show at @Galleries1988. It is one of my all time favorite films. Thank you, Mr. Friedkin." --Scott C.

No, that’s pretty much the worst remake idea ever proposed. Well done.
