cool. Any ideas on a first category of film to choose from?

first and last (or latest) films by directors.

"12 Angry Men" and "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" "Citizen Kane" and "Chimes at Midnight" "Un Chien Andalou" and "Cet obscur objet du désir" "Signs of Life" and "My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?" "One or the Other of Us" and "Poseidon"

I've never seen Before the Devil Knows You're Dead and I'd be up for watching 12 Angry Men again. What do you others think? mk, b_b, khaaan, steve, cW, bgood79, caio, NotPhil, speeding_snail?

I like the idea of watching directors first work and then their most recent. The next round of Hubski Film Club, we could pick another "topic" and pick around that. If any of you would prefer a different film(s), let me know. I'm open for suggestions.

Thanks JakobVirgil

I haven't seen "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" either, but Lumet has done some great films, here and there.

Let's pick "12 Angry Men" and "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" as this months movies in our film club. We can watch both and perhaps see how much Lumet changed or eve remained the same in his approach to making film. They are both available on NetFlix but not "watch instantly". Either way, they shouldn't be hard to find.

I'll make a separate post regarding the choice.

Cave of Forgotten Dreams is Herzog's latest.
