12 Angry Men


The concept of a movie about the arguments made by a jury sounds really boring, but 12 Angry Men is actually very gripping.  It's kind of funny how the audience is like the thirteenth member of the jury, but all you get as an audience member is heresay, no actual testimony, which isn't allowable in an actual court.  It's a fascinating method of storytelling.   I'm not sure if actual deliberations are nearly so interesting, but this made for a great movie.  The acting is amazing and this is one of the few stage adaptations I have enjoyed.
