The Conversation (1974)
Should I see it?
Yes...if you're a film geek.

The Conversation

This isn't a film for everyone. Its smart and engaging but may be too slow and internalized for some audiences. Gene Hackman gives a brilliant performance as Harry Caul, a private investigator who is hired to spy on a corporate executive's cheating wife and her lover. Caul, already consumed with being secretive, even to those closest to him, becomes even more cautious when the investigation of the lovers turns dangerous. Supported by solid performances by John Cazale, Robert Duvall, Teri Garr and Harrison Ford, Hackman presents a fully developed and intriguing portrayal of paranoia and isolation. Outside of the first two Godfather films, this stands as one of Francis Ford Coppola's best works.

I got a chuckle out of your answer to the question "Should I see it?"

I happen to know an admitted film geek who loves that movie.
