I watched this movie in school (in the span of three days)

One of the best movies I have ever seen! (I really like crime shows and court movies and stuff) And this was excellent as well. An old movie (1957) and black and white. We watched it for my Christian Justice class.

It's basically about 12 jurors trying to decide "guilty" or "not guilty" to a murder case. If they vote guilty, the murderer gets the death penalty

This is one of me and Yumie's favorite old movies. Just so fascinating! This is one of my favorite characters that Henry Fonda played. *Osaka huggles movie.*

Ah! I watched this in school too. It's like...CSI...without the technology and innuendo. It was a cool movie, except, you know, only one man was really angry.

I remember reading the play in school, and I remember thinking that one juror standing up for his innocence broke the law in a few key ways that could have had the judge throw out the final verdict and call for a new trial.

That was a good movie... It's been referenced so many times in Sitcoms, I realized it couldn't just be a coincidence, so I looked it up... It took me over a year, because I just said "Is there a movie about such-and-such" and finally my roomate told me about it. I got it on netflix, and I loved it...

"I bet you he don't even talk good english..." Hahaha!

I had to watch it in a psychology class early on in college. The instructor was talking about leadership approaches. I came in a bit late, but I was able to pick up what movie it was, and what was going on.
