Best Picture of 1971: The French Connection

Nominated for eight Academy Awards The French Connection is a film that is still loved to this day. Based off the true story of New York City Cops trying to bust a narcotics operation. It's a story filled with mystery and action.


20th Century Fox's The French Connection won Best Picture beating out Warner's A Clockwork Orange, United Artists Fiddler on the Roof, and both of Columbia's nominees The Last Picture Show and Nicolas and Alexandra. This film was also selected for preservation by the National Film Registry in 2005.


Really I don't have a lot to say about this film at all. I thought it was really boring. I really did just play with my phone most of the time that I was watching. I was super glad that it was over. Truthfully, Fiddler on the Roof should have one best picture that year. I am fond of musicals, and out of the other it's the only one that I have see, but that was a much better film than The French Connection.
