We were talking about good movies and one of my colleagues suggested me to watch 12 Angry Men. This movie was released in 1957. Yes, 1957. 50+ years movie and someone, at age 25, is suggesting it. I watched it and felt it is good.
The jury has to give verdict whether the slum boy had murdered his father or not. The 12 men argue over the points, in a small room and THAT is this movie.
I thought it would be boring. It would be very much predictable. Well, I was able to predict but the movie is very interesting. The black and white movie is one of the good movies I have seen.

12 Angry Men explores many techniques of consensus-building, and the difficulties encountered in the process, among a group of men whose range of personalities adds intensity and conflict. Apart from two of the jurors swapping names while leaving the courthouse, no names are used in the film: the defendant is referred to as "the boy" and the witnesses as the "old man" and "the lady across the street".
