12 Angry Men (1957)
There's a good reason why this is ranked as the #5 highest rated movie of all time on IMDB.

Perhaps I wouldn't put it in my own top 5, but it's certainly a film people should watch.
While it's certainly appreciated by many people, it seems to be a movie that many from our generation tend to overlook.
Every time I ask if someone has seen it, they haven't.
It's about twelve jury members on a murder case. That's it. That's the entire movie. Just that one discussion they have about whether the defendant is guilty or not. It's only 1h 36m long. Sounds boring, huh?
Well, it's not actually about the defendant or the murder case itself, but about each of these twelve characters, how they differ from each other, and what they learn about themselves through this process.
It starts off with 11 "Guilty" verdicts, and 1 "Not guilty" verdict. They have to reach a consensus before they can leave and go home.
I had no expectations going into this film, but it was quite enjoyable and I would recomend it to anyone.

Bruhh 12 Angry Men is one of the most famous classics of all time. There's nothing "underappreciated" about it. Or you think it was because it's old and black and white? Then there's a whole new world of movies for you to discover.

That's actually a well known classic for people that is really into cinema, its a Tarkovsky movie at the end of the day, one of the greatests directors of the last century, but yeah, great movie, deserves to be aknowledge for more people.

Yes, and it's a travesty it has no NA blu-ray release. Stellaris does and it was well worth the 'Criterion surtax'.

But Stellaris is a game, you meant Solaris.
