12 Angry Men
I noticed that quite a few people have "12 Angry Men" listed as one of their movie favorites. If you have not had a chance to see the remake, it is very good. I'd say as good as the original. I think it was an HBO production. Jack Lemmon,James Gandolfini, Hume Cronyn, George C. Scott, William Petersen, Tony Danza, Edward James Olmos, and a few more well known stars made up this all star cast. This movie was not really just a remake, it was more of a tribute. For all you "12 Angry Men" fans, if you have not seen this version, then you should check it out!

I've never seen the HBO version, but I have watched the movie with Henry Fonda many times. It is one of my favorite films. I've also seen the play performed on stage. I'll try to watch the HBO production some time.
I truly like this movie. It's simply wunderbar. No joke. Maybe I'll check out the remake...really, who played Lee J. Cobb's role? He's just brilliant, but highly underrated.
George C. Scott played that role!
Ah, I love George C. Scott! Though I've only seen him in Anatomy of a Murder, brilliant as well.
You should also see Scott in Dr. Strangelove and Patton.
Hah David, I have Strangelove on tivo!
Patton was probably one of the best performances ever!
