12 Angry Men - Location

[This post may contain spoilers; please watch the movie here before reading]

The fact that almost the entire movie is shot in one room, and a small one at that, is amazing.  From a cinematographic standpoint, the film is very well done.  It uses a variety of camera angles, as well as a good balance of repositioning the jurors around the room in order to keep it interesting.  Even though the movie is in black and white and it essentially takes place in a single room, it shows that the script, acting, and plot are far more important than special effects or exotic scenery.

Maybe a movie can be good without lots of explosions...
