To be edited as I feel like it.

12 Angry Men (1957): Just an amazing tale of justice. There's a ton of minutiae, as well, that just comes in altogether and gives some of the most powerful yet subtle hints of characterization and background that come together very well. And the introduction to the tension I adore as well, one man refuses to give in to the group in order to stand for what he thinks is right.

    Are you talking about the older version, or the re-make? I personally enjoyed the older black and white version of 12 Angry Men. It is truly a masterpiece of film.

    I've only ever seen the one with Jack Lemmon which I'm pretty sure is the film being referenced. It's a great story, definitely one I would watch again. It's actually based on a play of the same name. The premise is the same, the only thing that changes, to my knowledge, is that instead of wanting to get the Judicial process over with early to get to a baseball game, one particular juror has tickets to see a play and doesn't want to miss it. Either way, a great story and excellent choice!
