The French Connection

Perhaps the grittiest, filthiest, most realistic contemporary drama to ever win the Best Picture Oscar. A mystery and a character study about a foul-mouthed, violent, and borderline racist police detective (Gene Hackman in the best performance of his career), The French Connection sinks you into a dirty business and the people who have to do it. It also includes one of the best car chases in movie history.
