Hopefully I'll see more within the near future. I can't wait for Miami Vice.

The Conversation - (Francis Ford Coppola;1974;USA)
A paranoid, anti-social surveillance expert fears his new recordings may result in a murder.
Coppola's sadly overlooked character study, which like his other films, is one of the best of all time. Gene Hackman has a very subtle performance unlike most of his other films. It's probably his best, followed by The French Connection. Every time I watch this film, that scene where Hackman sees what's happening through the glass with that shriek of music always makes me jump, sending chills down my spine. This turns out to be one of the great character studies with a gritty, paranoid feel, especially in the final scene. The musical score is also very subtle and fitting with the tone of the film.
