"The Conversation" is a masterpiece of the golden age of 70s film. "The French Connection" would be on my list too, for similar reasons. Popeye Doyle is a classic 70s protagonist.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned "The Birdcage" yet. Fantastic ensemble cast, and Hackman plays his part to perfection.

"Heist" and "Royal Tenenbaums" would finish out my list.

EDIT- how could I forget “Mississippi Burning”?!? The man was truly a national treasure.
