My favorite was the 1957 film with Henry Fonda,Lee J.Cobb,Martin Balsam,E.G.Marshall ,Jack Klugman,Jack Warden ,Edward Binns and John Fiedler,all great, called "12 Angry Men".Another good one (but not as good as Harper Lee's 1960 novel)was 1962's "To Kill a Mockingbird",with Gregory Peck and Mary Badham.What are yours?

Witness for the Prosecution (1957), with Tyrone Power, Charles Laughton and Marlene Dietrich. Two films directed by Otto Preminger, Anatomy of a Murder (1959), with Jimmy Stewart, Lee Remick and George C. Scott and Advise & Consent (1962), starring Henry Fonda, Peter Lawford and Gene Tierney. All great films!

All the above, but "12 Angry Men" foremost, plus - while not great, but very good - "The Rack" (1956) with Paul Newman, Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis,
and Lee Marvin.
