Re: Lumet - Pure genius
Good god I love most of this guy's films. 12 Angry Men, The Verdict, Dog Day Afternoon, Serpico, Network (I quote the "Mad as Hell" line at least 5 times a week...), Fail Safe, The Anderson Tapes, I even find some charm in The Wiz.His quality started getting uneven (IMO) in the late 80's, but he's got a new one coming out with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Albert Finney that I'm interested to see.He also did a great book several years back called "Making Movies" that gives a lot of insight into what he's done and why he makes certain decisions. Very interesting if you're into such stuff.
