Hmm, seeing as I just rewatched it
12 Angry Men OG--
An absolute f**k of a movie. My favorite black and white film ever, great atmosphere and tension control throughout. There are parts of it that don't age well, most of the humor falls dead as a doornail in 2015. But the framing of these shots (transitioning from views from above at the beginning to more intense close-ups from below at the end) build the tension seamlessly and effectively. Mmmph. The kinds of risks a film should take, all rolled into 1.
8.5/10.
