Conversation, The
1974
Francis Ford Coppola follows The Godfather with this intimate film about an audio surveillance expert (Gene Hackman) who faces a moral quandary when he suspects that a couple whose conversation he's been hired to surreptitiously record will be murdered. The San Francisco-set film features a tremendous supporting cast, including John Cazale and Teri Garr, and was nominated for three Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Screenplay.
Harry Caul will go anywhere to bug a private conversation.
