"12 Angry Men" (1957)

The great Lee J. Cobb in the powerful, final monologue from the classic 12 Angry Men.  The monologue culminates in a touching breakdown.

Great movie, great performance.

Hm, now I want to see the same scene from the 1997 version. I think Juror #3 was George C. Scott in that one.

Yes, and to be honest I didn't like the 1997 version as a whole.  Among other things, Jack Lemmon was miscast in the Henry Fonda role.  Scott was excellent, though he didn't break down the way Cobb did.
