Bullitt (1968, PG)
The car chase scene through the San Francisco streets says it all. Steve McQueen was supercool as the no nonsense detective who goes after the truth against crooked cops and the system to catch a deadly killer. Peter Yates' suspenseful thriller became one of the highest grossing films of 1968,and some 40 years after its initial release,it still reigns supreme as one of Steve McQueen's best. |

The Detective (1968, Unrated)
A gripping and riveting performance from Frank Sinatra in a role that you would never expect from The Chairman of the Board(in a rare form beyond the glare) and the subject matter so intense it will leave you asking for more. Released in 1968,this was one of the few films that explored police corruption within the force,brutality,and not to mention to taboo subject of homosexuality which shocked audiences with it was release which included scenes depicting of a frank and shocking nature. Based on the gripping novel by Roderick Thorpe with a ripping screenplay by Abby Mann and Directed by Gordon Douglas. This was the first Sinatra film to received an "R" rating for its use of strong language and explicit subject matter. Jack Klugman, Lee Remick, Robert Duvall, Tony Mustante, and William Windom star. |
