Masterpieces in Morality - The Godfather, Vertigo, 12 Angry Men

In our 100th episode, we invited you, our audience, to select the films we’d discuss. In a mini-tournament which included the top films from three different lists: Sight and Sound Magazine’s Greatest Films of All Time, IMDb’s highest rated films of all time, and Letterboxd’s highest rated films of all time, these were the films you selected.

• We open with the American masterpiece that changed the crime genre and cinema as a whole: Francis Ford Coppola’s brilliant epic, The Godfather.
• Second, the master Alfred Hitchcock is at the top of his game in this gorgeous but wildly unnerving psychological thriller, Vertigo.
• Finally, Sidney Lumet delivers the goods in his debut feature film, 12 Angry Men, a boiling pot of tension.

Thanks to all who voted. And thank you for helping us reach one hundred episodes!
