10 Classic Films That Should Be Remade
7. Twelve Angry Men
The film 12 Angry Men proves how you do not need an overly complicated set-up to generate an enthralling and utterly gripping drama. Sometimes you can simply take a room full of people with the need to solve a problem and allow the characters to bring it to life.
It's a film that has been heralded as one of the most outstanding motion pictures ever made, and this is entirely understandable, as not only does the story take you to some inspiring places, the dialogue and acting are also utterly superb.
Although the classic seems untouchable, there have been reinterpretations, including multiple stage-plays and a television adaptation. All of these were well-received and show how, although you will never best the original, there is an excellent benefit to trying.
An updated version of the film could even apply some modern gender perspectives to the classic, perhaps approaching it as 12 Angry Jurors as opposed to just solely men.
