    Fail-Safe was excellent, and of course 12 Angry Men holds up very well. Suffice to say he made several that many others would consider their best work.
    Baba-Booey to you all!

  vision of humanity. No doubt he heavily was influenced by the Holocaust. But the world goes on and looking at the half empty glass does no one any good.

    His world view was refreshing in American cinema. Keeping a wary eye on the corruption that surrounds us (governmental or personal) made me feel more hopeful about society as a whole. And life is a half a glass of water, no matter how you spill it. He seemed to tell us that the bad guys weren't going to get away with pissing in it, without a fight. By the way, everyone was heavily influenced by the holocaust. He made one explosive movie about it-and made many different types of movies-and to contend the the holocaust was his major influence is unfounded.

    ... of moving towards positive change, by first acknowledging the problems preventing positive outcome. It is heroic and epic in that an everyman with standards can make a difference to benefit others.
    
    I love that film's meaning. Lumet will be missed.
