12 Angry Men

— A classic. This is an amazing film where the action occurs in near real time inside a jury room. The perspectives of each juror and discussions concerning guilt and innocence as views are swayed and the tide shifts from eleven jurors believe the defendant was guilty to a verdict of innocent. It’s a study in leadership, communication, and group behavior that’s still one of the greatest courtroom dramas.
