    Tough one this so many to choose from but as I can only pick one.

    The French Connection. Gene Hackmans finest hour.

    Have to admit it’s a bloody good film with probably the best ever film car chase.

    Not sure what mine would be.

    The Warriors deserves a mention.

    Impossible to choose, too many top movies. Taxi Driver just being one of my favs, but then so are Deer Hunter, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest and Dog Day Afternoon.

    How could I pick just one?

    For late night viewing – I’d choose…
    “Vanishing Point”
    ( but I always had a soft spot for Petrocelli and root beer)

    Oh tricky, Catch 22 or Enter the Dragon are certainly films I can rewatch so I guess one of those.

    I was gong to go with Bullit but that was 68 so Apocalypse Now for me.

    reading this list though made me think I could choose any of the on a different day.

    Vanishing point was great but I preferred Two Lane Blacktop.

    I was going to say Easy rider and then I found out it was 1969. Its probably Alien, Jaws, Apocalypse Now or Taxi Driver.

    The French Connection. Gene Hackmans finest hour.

    Tough one, but The Conversation edges it for me, especially if you’re not not familiar with the plot.

    Best decade for films, soo many classics.

    A Golden age of cinema

    Silent Running would be up there.

    Was going to suggest the Wild Bunch but that was 69
