French Connection Bullitt is boring? And S&B a little cartoonish. With FC it’s believable and raw - ThreadSky

Since fascists and Nazi salutes are being discussed so much this weekend I just have to add that anyone who does not recognize the car chase scene in 'The Blues Brothers' to be one of the best in cinematic history should not be trusted imo.

I'm biased in agreement because The French Connection is probably my favorite movie, but Bullitt was on TMC the other night, and I was riveted.

Bullitt IS boring. Of those choices, it's French Connection. But for me, I think the Bourne chase scenes are the best.

The Seven Ups had a good car chase (same stunt coordinator as Bullitt)

That a movement that hates so much of what America has accomplished and despises so many different Americans has the fucking nerve to pretend it’s patriotic

Well said. MAGA people despise the thesis of America, they hate our founding principles, but want us to believe that they’re the only true patriots.

There would’ve been Nazis, but the opposition question is interesting as southerners were one of the more pro-interventionist factions in the 1930s. Would that change make them less or more so?
