To explain about the general plot, this movie will sound really boring. First the movie is in Black and White. What makes it even "weaker" is that at the begining of the movie, 12 men walk into a small room; a little over 1 hour later, the 12 men walk out of the room after a long series of talking, and the movie is over. Sounds boring eh? \nWRONG! This movie is absolutely fascinating and captivating! Now let me explain this first: I think my favorite movie genre are the medival battle movies like Braveheart. I like big war scenes and how people die for their country because of what they believe. Court-Jury movies usually don't captivate me. However, I think there are High-Quality movies and horrible movies in every genre. So my collection tries to find the best movies in each genre. So why would a movie with such low visual and mediocre general plot(not to mention romance, humor, and all that) make it into my collection? Well, the high quality part about this movie is that it challenges your mind directly. The more confidence you are with your intelligence, the more stunned you will be with this movie. \n\nAnyways, down to some numbers:\n\nVisual: 75\nAudio: 80\nScenes: 70\nGeneral Plot: 82\nSpecific Plot: 96\nIntensity: 95\nConsistency: 92\nSurprise Factor: 92\nIntelligence: 93\nEnding: 88\nHumor: N/A\nRomance: N/A\n\nAs you can see, this movie has quite a few low points. This is due to the oldness of the movie and the simple elements of it. The beauty of the movie, however, is how the movie makes you become sure on one thing, and then suddenly challenges your thought. It brings up doubt in a doubtless situation.\n\nVisual is Black and white, so no good points in it. The camera and light contrast is pretty good, so I still give it a 75. There are no particularly exciting music or sound effects....which would ruin the movie if there was. But anyways, I have to give a point to that so there it is. The music fits well into the mood of the movie though. \nNo great scences in the movie. Everything you see you have a good chance of seeing at home or outside: tables, people talking, conflicts, arguments...etc. \nIntensity is a high point in the movie. During the movie, although nothing exciting is happening, you can feel how intense everyone is. The hot air, people's tempers, fitting different personalities into one room and planning to come out with one opinion; you can almost feel that you are in the room and ready to argue. The conversations are also never pointless, each making a point a developing a character's personality. Basically, this keeps your attention on the movie. \n\nThe movie is quite consistent too. There arn't really places where you feel like the pace is too slow or nothing is happening. Every minute of the movie is consistently pretty good and making the movie a little better. \n\nThe surprise factor in this movie that I identified is not ones like Fight Club, Vanilla Sky, or Entrapment where what is real appears to be not. It simplies surprises you with statements that make you think "Wow, why didn't I think of that? Hmmm, I'm still not convinced though." And then after awhile, he points out another thing that you didn't think of that convinces you. After awhile, you'll change from a stuborn person to a convinced one. \n\nThe enjoyment of the movie is simply being sure of something, and then being convince the contrary. I consider myself quite intellectual and I love to argue. Most of the times I am right. This movie made me quite wrong (I would raise my hands with the 11 Juries) and I simply love it. Watch it and you won't regret.\n\nI havn't seen the new 12 angry men with color yet, so if everything else in the new one is just as good, it will be terrific and certain qualify with higher points. Anyways, overall I give this movie a 92. Go watch it.

Old is something that is dated, probably past its prime.  Classic is something that transcends fads, that despite its physical age its idea will persist.

Movies with that theme derive the story from Romeo and Juliet. Remember Shakespeare wrote the play first.

Well, a lot of movies come to mind ... \n\n50 first dates .. Everytime i see it is like the first time, i laugh and cry and totally envy her because despite her condition she found someone who loved her as relentlessly as he did!! it's a beautiful story, and the movie was done brilliantly.\n\nYou've Got Mail ... its a classic!! or thats what i think anyway! Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, something about those two .. the story is nice, and it just stuck with me!  the whole love-hate relationship, and the friendship that grew from it ..  \n\nBeyond Borders .. Angelina Jolie and Clive Owen! Tragic Story! and i loved it still. Its a different kind of Love story .. one that doesn't end happily ever after, but its more beautiful because of that!\n\nThen there's Moulin Rouge, Don Juan de Marco, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones Diary 1+2 "because he loved her just as she is" and that's what truly matters!!   and Fools Rush In  is great too and has some great lines! and i could go on and on ..
