12 Angry Men (1957)
A historically relevant film on human bias.
Summary:
This is a truly important film with social relevance and is the reason why Criterion Collection should exist. It is so truthful and honest, characterizing mankind and society with such relevant accuracy even in today’s time. 12 members of a jury deliberate a case, quarreling in a single room for the entire film and it’s absolutely engaging. Story is king and there will always be a place for dialogue in cinema. I don’t know if it’s entertaining enough for Gen Z audiences today, but it’s certainly important enough to recommend. One of the few films I watched when I was younger that changed my outlook on life.
