12 Angry Men (1957)

[Andrew]

Watched this yesterday have to now say it's in my top 3 films of all time, absolutely incredible.

Anyone else here seen it?

It is a very good film. There's a TV movie version made a few years back with Jack Lemmon, George C Scott, Edward Olmos, Courtney Vance, Mykelti Williams, James Gandolfini, which was also very good, but the original is great.

It's an absolutely brilliant film and it doesn't have any CGI Hulk's in it. Bonus.

It was a very brave film to make in the USA in 1957.

5 stars in the Radio Times Film Guide, which is normally reliable. originally it didn't make enough money to pay Henry Fonda, whose idea it was to make the film, his deferred actor's fee

A top class film. The remakes is good too, but it does not surpass the original by any means.

Just wanted to add that Inherit the Wind (Original-1960 and Remake-1999) is another good court based drama.

 

[HantsSeagull]

Great film. Brave stuff for the time.

Funny enough, I mentioned this film to my lad, over a pint only yesterday.

When was it on and is it likely to be shown again soon?

Just did 12 Angry Men as part of my acting degree last week, fantastic film, perfectly acted, manages to keep you completly engaged for an hour and a half even though it is literally 12 men talking around a table, how some modern day dramas could learn from it...

 

[Simster]

Fabulous film, and funnily enough I was only talking about it with a friend yesterday!

As well as being fantastically acted, it's also an object lesson in how to win an argument against people with a seemingly immoveable position.

Also in my top films.
It's an excellent film in every way. Only a shame that American movie-makers and watchers can't abide films without explosions and machine-guns or flying through the air. A film focusing on dialogue and political implications like that can't get made any more.

 

[Meade's Ball]

An effing excellent piece of simple film-making where carefully-composed dialogue and acting become it all. That beanpole of justice in Fonda slowly whittling down the resistance of those who either don't give a shit about right or wrong and those bigots seemingly trapped for an eternity in their ugly bitterness and fiendish hammer of judgement. Post-Mccarthyite America in a nutshell. I watch it whenever i can.

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

I saw Hitchcock's 'Rear Window' last month, that was enthralling and very enjoyable too.
