Whether you think cinema died with Hitchcock or only got good once Michael Bay started blowing up helicopters, this is the place where moving pictures are discussed.

    Twelve Angry Men
    Just watching this film now as I type this.
    This film starring Henry Fonda. It's a really good film and well worth watching.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_Angry_Men_(1957_film)

    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0050083/

    It's about a Jury in a murder case where the jury are sent to deliberate whether a man on trial for first degree murder is guilty or not.

    If found guilty there would be only one result, death by electric chair.

    So they go in and eleven men think he is guilty and only one man (played by the excellent Henry Fonda) thinks he is innocent.)

    At first they are all adamant the defendent (who is an eighteen year old boy) is guilty but one by one they start to question that.

    Truly brilliant.

    Well thanks to the wonders of technology, i.e wireless internet, it's nice being able to do both those things.
    Especially if the movie in question is a classic like this.

    It is indeed an amazing film. Such suspense, exhilaration and anticipation; it holds you much tighter than (most) action/horror/thriller/drama films are able to.

    Despite my reluctance to entertain films pre-1970, this is one of the best films ever made.

    Although,It's a Wonderful Life is possibly even better.
