RIP Sidney Lumet......
Sidney Lumet passes away at age 86. Incredible director of such classics as 12 Angry Men, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, The Verdict, Network.
A couple films i would recommend would be "Q&A" with Nick Nolte from 1990. His last feature film was the amazing "Before The Devil Knows Your Dead" with Ethan Hawk and Philip Seymour Hoffman from 2007. One of the greatest American directors of all time. Condolences to his his family, he will be missed. |

I believe it was his first movie, but it left a lasting impression on me -
12 ANGRY MEN. Also another that, for some reason, has never made it to TV - THE GROUP. And, probably my favorite - THE VERDICT. He was a master at his craft.
