| Great Movie
This is one of the best movies of all time. Only made better with DVD and widescreen. Just like seeing it at the theaters, the way it was meant to be seen.

| I love Courtroom drama
This is a classic and everyone should own a copy. There are so many personalities in the jury room. It makes one think hard about our judicial system and how human beings are there to decide the fate of those on trial. I loved this film. Everyone was believable.
