French Connection..watched it after about 30 years,maybe more. Every movie and TV series that copied it over the years makes it seem more cliche than cutting edge

Yeah. It's no longer fresh, but it's still a great movie. Same with To Live and Die in LA, and The Exorcist. Friedkin was so influential it's hard to look at those movies today and understand which parts of them were cliches at the time and which ones were fresh ideas.
