Sidney Lumet made his way to the big screen after working for years (like contemporary Robert Altman) directing TV shows of all stripes. As such, Lumet has worked in a variety of genres, though he's most connected with a New York feel from his heyday in the mid-1970's. Here's how his films rate.

I've rated the films from a zero (horrible!) to four (wonderful!) star scale, with the links going to my reviews. As usual, I've only included films I've seen.
