Roy was great in French Connection, he was even better in The Seven
Ups
which has a awesome car chase scene that tops McQueen in Bullit

Sorcerer is another great one by William Freidkyn. a remake of the
Wages of Fear
about truck drivers moving a load of nitro thru the jungle

well worth watching in his memory
