Been on this forum for almost two years and not once have I seen any of you recommended Fail-Safe. Shame on you all, it's incredible and I am offended that you all do not collectively talk about it enough. 

 

Sidney Lumet is three for three on the oh shit that was great count for me now. Really need to dive deeper on his stuff.

Fail-Safe >>>  Strangelove.

 

And I like Strangelove a lot. Why has everyone seemed to have forgotten Fail-Safe? Lumet in general, really. His name doesn't get thrown around enough.

So if it is Lumet you're after, here are a few more (I'm assuming you watched Dog Day Afternoon, Network, etc already):

 

Serpico

Murder on the Orient Express (1974)

The Verdict

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead

I think it's cause he's the type of guy who would let content dictate his style, which makes his movies seem less personal. Doesn't have that consistent big flashy approach. Guys like Lumet or John Huston are always gonna be less fashionable than the Kubricks and Hitchcocks of the world.

James Cameron's Story of Science Fiction

For the show, James Cameron personally interviewed six of the biggest names in Science fiction filmmaking-Guillermo del Toro, George Lucas, Christopher Nolan, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Ridley Scott, and Steven Spielberg-to get their perspectives on the importance and impact of the genre.

It'll hopefully play out like Feynman interviewing Neil deGrasse Tyson.
