The French Connection (1971)
|
|

The French Connection is a gritty, tough and unapologetic film that is based on the true story of two New York City narcotics officers who scored the biggest heroin bust in history. Gene Hackman stars as the rough edged Popeye Doyle. Popeye is not above doing anything in order to make his bust, whether it be coercion or violent force. Teamed with his more leveled-headed partner Cloudy, played by Roy Scheider, they follow a hunch of Popeye's to the record bust. The movie is one of the ultimate cat and mouse thrillers as Popeye and Cloudy stakeout the Frenchmen who are importing the heroin. The famous car chase scene still holds up even thirty years later as one the greatest ever filmed. Mr. Hackman is incredible in the role of Popeye and the over the top blind rage and fury he brings to the character is perfect. Mr. Scheider is also great and his sanguine performance provides a nice contrast to the fiery Mr. Hackman. William Friedkin's grainy filming style perfectly captures the feel of the movie.

Aliens (1986)
|
|

Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver), the sole survivor of the alien attack on the mining ship Nostromo, awakens half a century later when she is found by a salvage ship. The welcome given to her by the "Company" officials is far from warm, since they refuse to believe her discovery of alien existence and strip her off her flight officer's license. Ripley also discovers, much to her horror, that the planet LV-426 where her crew had encountered an alien species for the first time, is now colonized by the company. But when all contact from the planet is lost Ripley is called back into action again as an advisor to a team of tough space marines with lots of firepower. To get rid of her recurrent nightmares about the alien creature, Ripley prepares for a final battle with the monsters - and this time, there are hundreds of them out there.
