[jmodlinc]

Often cited as one of the strongest and most consistent helmers from the 60s on up until his death last year, I think Sidney Lumet is certainly deserving of an episode or two dedicated to his filmography.

I think Serpico is probably the best police movie I've ever seen.

A Huge fan of 'Dog Day Afternoon' for a long time, I watched '12 Angry Men' and 'The Verdict' (1 Quietly Angrier Man?) for the first time in the space of a week about a month ago and wholeheartedly agree he was at times fantastic. However, save those three, 'Serpico' and 'Network', I'm struggling to see what else could count out of his extensive back catalogue. 'The Wiz' anyone?
