12 Angry Men - Full Reaction
Added 2021-09-24 07:18:31 +0000 UTCI really loved this movie. I thought it was so well done. If you have the entire movie in one room, the script/acting/dialogue better be good. It really made me think about prejudices and about how we interact with one another and how hard it is to stand alone. Thank you for choosing this to go as far as it did! As always you guys are the best and have a GREAT weekend!

My mother made me watch a few movies when I was a child, like To Kill a Mockingbird, Gone with the Wind, Frankenstein, and 12 Angry Men. I don't see the connection, but I'm glad she did. They all are great movies, with a Rotten Tomato score of over 90%, and this one has a perfect score of 100%. I'm glad you liked it; I myself love good court movies. And movies that came out before I was born. Maybe that's the connection.

2023-09-01 11:38:01 +0000 UTCNot sure if you know but the actor who plays the serious juror with the glasses is the same who plays Art in Christmas Vacation. Found that out this year and lost it.

I shouldn’t discriminate though, it’s not the movie’s fault it was made at a time when most movies were black and white, but I watched this for the first time with you and loved it and how all of their arguments really made them think. I saw people suggested some John Grisham and I think you need to add The Rainmaker to the list. Another court case movie. Until next time… 🍿

2021-12-21 04:48:11 +0000 UTCBeing that you are a fan of courtroom dramas and have also said you're appreciating military genre films, I thought I would suggest you check out "A Few Good Men". It stars Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Jack Nicholson and Kevin Bacon; it is also the origin of the line I'm sure you've heard before, "You can't HANDLE the truth!!"

2021-10-07 02:45:10 +0000 UTCHe was also in "All the President's Men". So was Jack Warden (the juror who wanted to get to the baseball game). Both had major roles: Balsam played Howard Simons, the Managing Editor of the Washington Post, and Jack Warden played Harry Rosenfeld, the city editor who oversaw the Watergate investigation. Terrific performances from both. As good as they were in "12 Angry Men", I think they were even better 20 years later.

2021-09-26 22:05:52 +0000 UTCOh, the actor Martin Balsam, who plays the foreman/football coach who's always tallying the votes, was in PSYCHO, too. He's the detective that is stabbed by Norman Bates.

2021-09-26 21:45:54 +0000 UTCI'm hoping she does a couple, because it won't come out on top, but I'm hoping for "Arsenic and Old Lace." It isn't exactly a spooky movie, It is more dark comedy/suspense with horror overtones. There are also "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein." and "Young Frankenstein "
Charles Mills
2021-09-26 19:58:57 +0000 UTCwell she missed out on a lot in the late 90s and early 2000s for sure lol

2021-09-26 17:26:13 +0000 UTCI don’t think Cassie is into raunchy, teen humor, tbh.

2021-09-26 17:21:28 +0000 UTCFor Christmas movies, I'm fond of the "Santa Clause" series and the "Home Alone" series. But lately my favorite is a hard to find TLC made for TV movie "The Secret Santa" not to be confused with other movies with similar names. This one is about a reporter trying to do a story on a mysterious man connected with letters written to Santa passed on by various post offices to charity groups. One thing which I don't know was intentional or not is that the reporter learns the guys last name is Nast. The irony is that the modern image of Santa was created by political cartoonist Thomas Nast in the 1880's.

2021-09-26 16:56:06 +0000 UTCIdk I still laugh my ass off everytime one comes on and I'm 39. 🤣🤷♂️ the first one came out when I was a Jr in hs so I can relate almost perfectly
William Bryan
2021-09-26 15:42:43 +0000 UTCShe wouldn't find any interest in these teen sex comedies. Loss of her time

2021-09-26 15:38:39 +0000 UTCAmerican Pie: It has its good moments but there are also many raunchy, gross out comedic elements as well. I did like the first three of the series as a teen when they came out but revisiting them a few years ago I found they didn't age that well for me. Ignore my ignorance, I thought someone was asking about American Pie. :) 10 Things I Hate About You is a clever and funny movie with a now stellar but back then newbie cast in their breakout roles: Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. They and everyone else in the cast is excellent in their roles. It feels like it is kind of making fun of the typical teen comedy tropes but at the same time it can stand on its own. The story is an adaptation of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew. It is among the movies I'm re-watching every few years since first seeing it.

2021-09-26 15:22:52 +0000 UTCYou know I've never seen that one. Is it funny?
William Bryan
2021-09-26 13:31:41 +0000 UTCThat was a good movie. I was 8 when it came out and saw in theaters twice with my mom. Not Halloween material but very good. RIP Patrick Swayze

Björn Von Knorring
2021-09-26 11:30:46 +0000 UTCNot sure of that boat's sailed, but still thinking of potential October titles: has Cassie ever mentioned if she's seen GHOST (1990)? I mean, it's a moving love story that won an Oscar, plus has ghost elements to it.
Alex Villarreal
2021-09-26 09:36:18 +0000 UTCI think '10 Things I Hate About You' would be a better match for her taste.
Gábor Árki
2021-09-26 05:39:45 +0000 UTCPerhaps Björn Von Knorring this movie is worthy of a new Die Hard like debate: Christmas movie or superhero movie...
Andrew Roach
2021-09-26 03:26:49 +0000 UTCSerious question here guys, you all think Cassie could handle the American Pie movies? Not horror but the other end of the spectrum. HAHAHAHA
William Bryan
2021-09-26 02:10:01 +0000 UTCBelieve it or not, legally, this is how it should go(minus a juror apparently presenting a better defense than the dudes lawyer). Whether there is enough to convince you a suspect committed a crime is not the legal standard. The standard is “beyond a reasonable doubt.” If there is the slightest chance that someone is innocent, ideally speaking, a jury should be obligated to return a not-guilty verdict. The system has become too full of innocent men convicted because juries don’t actually understand their mandate.

2021-09-26 01:24:25 +0000 UTCJingle all the way (1996) with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Best christmas movie ever.

2021-09-26 00:37:03 +0000 UTCNo William Bryan, I was talking about Christmas films (insert evil laugh here.)

2021-09-25 23:17:06 +0000 UTCI found the comment from the YouTube reaction -- "9 out of the 12 cast members who played the jurors were military veterans. 8 of whom served during World War II: Henry Fonda (Juror #8) and John Fiedler (Juror #2, "the voice of Piglet guy") served in the Navy, while Robert Webber (Juror #12, "Clark Kent") was in the Marine Corps. Jack Klugman (Juror #5, "the guy who grew up in the slum") served in the Army, while Martin Balsam (Juror #1, "detective in Psycho"), Lee J. Cobb (Juror #3, "the angry guy estranged from his son") and Edward Binns (Juror #6," the guy who threatened to beat up Juror #3") were in the U.S. Army Air Forces. Jack Warden (Juror #7, "the baseball guy") was in the Navy prior to the war and then served in the U.S. Merchant Marines and in the Army during WWII. Ed Begley (Juror #10, "the racist guy") was in the Navy during World War I. Director Sidney Lumet, writer-producer Reginald Rose, associate producer George Justin and actor Rudy Bond, who played the judge, were also WWII veterans, all serving in the Army, while cinematographer Boris Kaufman served in the European theatre in the French Army."
Charles Mills
2021-09-25 18:47:55 +0000 UTCHenchman, also in "In Harm's Way." What is amazing is when you see things on WW2 and they sometimes talk to an actor who you would never suspect as having been through it but saw some bad stuff. Eddie Albert from the TV series "Green Acres" was a combat Marine in the Pacific. A well know example is Jimmy Stewart.
Charles Mills
2021-09-25 18:47:13 +0000 UTCOh yes, I remember him. He was lawyer Daggett in the original True Grit.
Catherine LW
2021-09-25 18:00:11 +0000 UTC@mikeb0509 - Mr. Fielder also played Redjac in an episode of Star Trek [TOS] called "Wolf in the Fold". If you've ever seen that episode you would have been really nervous when he was handling the knife.
Henchman Twenty1
2021-09-25 17:39:30 +0000 UTC@Charles Mills - Henry Fonda (Juror 8) served in the navy in WWII and went on to play Admiral Chester Nimitz in one of my favorite war movies "Midway" , the original 1976 version.

2021-09-25 17:33:48 +0000 UTCAgreed, it's why Its such a good movie
mikeb0509
2021-09-25 17:12:39 +0000 UTCI saw something recently that noted that most of actors were WW2 veterans. One had been in the Navy before the war but returned to the Merchant Marine during the war.
Charles Mills
2021-09-25 16:46:32 +0000 UTCYes, it is an exercise in there being reasonable doubt. In most courtroom dramas, the defense would find the "real killer" and we'd know. This leaves us with a more mature ambiguous ending.
Charles Mills
2021-09-25 16:35:01 +0000 UTCGood list! Also, "Home Alone" and any of the "Christmas Carol" movies. One Christmas Carol movie which is interesting to me is "An American Christmas Carol" (1979) with Henry Winkler and set in the 1930's. It is interesting because it contains much more after the ghosts have done their work.
Charles Mills
2021-09-25 16:26:38 +0000 UTCMy high school had a business law class which covered things like contracts and such which was interesting. It even covered stuff like checks. It was a practical course. I've been called for jury duty several times but I was always rejected. I'm a civil engineer and I've heard that lawyers don't want us in their jury. In one case it was a civil suit between two contractors. The judge asked what my job consisted of and I said I enforce the codes and conditions of approval of the town I work for. One attorney immediately booted me.

2021-09-25 13:25:48 +0000 UTCalso in this movie we dont get any closure but i do believer there was enough to get the kid
mikeb0509
2021-09-25 08:32:58 +0000 UTCalso fun anecdote on the movie and im sure it hit some nerves, but the juror who wore glasses and got crapped on by the ass holes was also the voice of piglet in whinnie the pooh...his name is John Fielder if you dont believe you do you the google search

2021-09-25 07:59:15 +0000 UTCAll great films
William
2021-09-25 07:14:58 +0000 UTCOkWatched one of my favorite films tonight and it was one reason I took my jury duty position so serious last month...every should have to watch the 50s era ”12 Angry Men"...also I'm all for the death penalty if it the crime/s warrant it...just want to make sure it's open and shut....also eye witness testimony is very unrelieable as most in traumatic things can be told what they see

2021-09-25 07:09:59 +0000 UTCAs we approach Christmas here are my five favorite movies for the season: Planes, Trains ande Automobiles 1987 (Thanksgiving) It's a Wonderful Life 1946 Miracle on 34th Street 1947 A Christmas Story 1983 National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 1989
Andrew Roach
2021-09-25 07:02:29 +0000 UTCI first saw this in my Law Class in High School, yes you read that right in High School. My school more or less treated it as an extra course in the same umbrella as Civics. This was shown more or less as an example of what being a juror entails. It still remains one of my favourite movies.
Phillip Ribbink
2021-09-25 05:48:38 +0000 UTCThere have been some terrific suggestions here. I'll add one more: 'The Man in the Glass Booth'. Astounding courtroom drama. Maximilian Schell in the main role is just brilliant. And here's an interesting tidbit: the screenplay was based on a novel and a play, and all three were written by Robert Shaw. And Shaw was also an actor -- you know him as Quint, from 'Jaws'. Some people have waaaaay too much talent.
