One of the highest-rated movie franchises on Rotten Tomatoes, Richard Linklater's wonderful Before trilogy began with Before Sunrise, a romantic drama about a young American man and a young French woman who spend a day together in Vienna, talking about all sorts of topics and slowly falling love.

12 Angry Men lasts a little over 97 minutes, is relatively simple, and takes place almost entirely in a single location.

The story is riveting, the characters are compelling, and the themes are thought-provoking. 12 Angry Men magnificently explores the human spirit in unparalleled ways, with excellent directing and f...
