Thanks for your tribute, very saddened by William Friedkin's passing, my fave director, great man R.I.P. Billy Friedkin.

I am avid watcher of hollywood movies even though I am from India. I like old movies whether be in english or hindi. My first ever English movie which I watched was The French Connection. I saw DVD cover in which I found director's name as "William Friedkin". Immediately I watched The Exorcist. He was a great director. RIP legend.

Sorcerer is flawed but fantastic in spots, you're in for a treat!

LEGEND!!!!!!!!!! R.I.P

Thank you my friend.

Thanks. I always thought Sorcerer was his best film and I was thrilled to find out years later that so did Friedkin. He had an encyclopaedic knowledge of movies and I loved hearing him speak about them with that musical voice he had. R.I.P.

Yeah he had an infectious enthusiasm for film whenever he spoke about it, I found.

French Connection is one of my favourite movies ever. One thing I always remember about Friedkin is he said Babadook was the scariest movie he ever saw and as an Aussie I really loved that.

I can see that; there's definitely some of the Exorcist's DNA in The Babadook! French Connection will be the first I watch and review for here. I remember liking it a lot more than I did on first watch.

I've never seen Sorcerer, but I saw Wages of Fear that it's a remake of and that was fantastic. The French Connection and The Exorcist are two of my favourite films ever though. I also saw Killer Joe back when it was released and it's pretty f'd up. I always think of it when I see a fried chicken leg! 😂

I don't remember too much about Killer Joe actually, I saw it when it came out so that's a while back now!

It might have helped to have some graphics or stills to look at with this. Visuals.

Sorcerer was a remake of Wages of Fear with a soundtrack by Tangerine Dream. I thought it was great not as good as Wages of Fear but a good watch. The soundtrack really makes it though. Roy Scheider is great in it. You must watch it. I will get it again if it ever comes out in 4K.

Apparently Friedkin never liked the Wages of Fear comparisons but it is very hard to deny! What's pretty nice to see is how the sales of the film have rocketed since yesterday!
