Top 5 70s crime dramas
One of my favorite movie genres! In no particular order:
The French Connection
Charley Varrick
Dirty Harry
The Friends of Eddie Coyle
The Getaway
Good picks, I'd add Serpico and The Seven-Ups.
shareThe Seven-Ups is that a spin off sequel to 2 The French Connection
shareSort of...
Philip D’antoni produced the FC and directed the Seven ups.
Roy scheider played cops in both films
Both films filmed in gritty early 70s NYC
Both soundtracks by Don Ellis
Both films had iconic car chases by stunt driver Bill Hickman , who also did the car chase for Bullitt.
The differences were - The FC was based on a true story about a shipment of heroin from France but the 7 ups was a fiction tale involving mob guys getting kidnapped.

French Connection 2 was a letdown for me.
