190. 12 Angry Men (#5)

Hosted by Andrew Quinn and Darren Mooney, and this week with special guests Donald Clarke and John Maguire, The 250 is a (mostly) weekly trip through some of the best (and worst) movies ever made, as voted for by Internet Movie Database Users. This time, Sidney Lumet's 12 Angry Men. In New York, in the height of summer, twelve jurors assemble for what should be a simple open and shut case. Most of the jury assumes that they'll be done within the hour. However, against all of that evidence and in spite of all of that expectation, one member of the group isn't entirely convinced that the accused is guilty. At time of recording, it was ranked 5th on the list of the best movies of all time on the Internet Movie Database.
