I saw The New Centurions because I liked the Joseph Wambaugh novel from which the film is based. But I have no firm recollection of the movie, I saw it when it was originally released. I think I liked it.
The Yakuza, a Sydney Pollack film, I saw more recently than that, IIRC I thought it was OK but I didn't like the ending.
Luckily they didn't change the titles so much in my country. ☺
Villain --> didn't watch it
The New Centurions --> didn't watch
Agatha --> waited for the huge revelation (wasn't any), for my taste boring and corny
Quintet --> little Sci-Fi-gem, always loved Paul Newman, recommended
The Yakuza --> great crime with a great Japanese actor, don't like Mitchum but that's only me
The Amsterdam Kill --> didn't watch (Mitchum)
Cisco Pike --> somewhat realistic drug movie with Kristofferson's music, liked it

I've seen Villain and The Yakuza. Didn't think too much of the first, really liked the second. I feel I must have seen The New Centurions but I don't remember any details.
shareI've only seen Agatha, and I'd only recommend it if you love Vanessa Redgrave.
shareAnybody else?
shareThe Yakuza (1974) is brilliant, 10/10 from me.
shareNot sure how I missed this thread. This is exactly the thing I'd love to see more of.
"The New Centurions" is probably the best cop movie. 9/10
I saw "Quintet" and though I like Altman's independence, it seemed like Newman made the worst movie when working with Altman and Huston (Mackintosh Man -- according to Huston, at the time, he said it was his worst)
"The Yakuza" is a pretty good one, probably because Robert Mitchum is in it. 6-7/10
