Bullitt is the essence of cool and it would be hard to find a more beautiful couple than McQueen and Jackie Bisset. The chase sequence is riveting in Connection the rest sounding it isn't quite at its level but it's still a solid film.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282345477542778584.post-13943773971438031402015-04-16T15:40:16.142+01:002015-04-16T15:40:16.142+01:00The Secret In Their Eyes is BRILLIANT.

I almost can't believe they're remaking it.<br /><br />I'm almost embarrassed to admit I still haven't seen Bullitt or The French Connection. L.A.

That week our primary focus was on 60's espionage films but we did spend some time talking about police procedural like those and how they helped to shape the modern action films. I remember we did watch the famous car chase from Bullitt as well, but I still have yet to see the rest of it.John Hitchcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373653979400552490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282345477542778584.post-29366413254343915832015-04-16T12:58:51.515+01:002015-04-16T12:58:51.515+01:00Haven't seen none...unfortunately.
