Perhaps one of the greatest film-making masterpieces I've ever watched over and over and over again, filmed on three locations, with two of them appearing for a few moments and the third being a jury room set. The entire film is tightly written and beautifully directed.

I doubt Hollywood would be able to make such a movie these days. 12 angry men had a plot, good writing, and actors with talent.
Today's audience would be bored watching it.
Why do movies suck these days? Because the movie industry recognized that casting pearls before swine is economically non profitable.
