12 Angry Men (1957)

Sidney Lumet is one of Hollywood’s most celebrated directors, but his masterpiece might be his very first film. In 1957, Lumet directed the legal drama 12 Angry Men. The film tells the story of a man on trial for killing his abusive father. However, the film doesn’t follow the actual court case, the victims, or the defendant.

Instead, this is a movie that takes place almost entirely in the jury chamber as the 12 jurors decide on the young man’s fate. Lumet put on a masterclass in film directing; as the men begin to grow claustrophobic during the long days, Lumet alters his camera angle to make the room look smaller and give viewers the same feeling.

The classic movie is on Prime Video this December for fans to either revisit or discover for the first time. It is one of the best movies of all time, earning Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. It was also added to the National Film Registry as one of the best courtroom dramas ever made.

Invasion Of The Body Snatchers (1978)

Invasion of the Body Snatchers is a remake of a classic 1956 sci-fi movie, and it is better in every conceivable way than the original. The film tells the story of an alien invasion during which the aliens abduct humans and then create duplicates of them, replacing them in society. Both the original and this remake are allegories for Cold War fears.

The cast is incredible, with Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams, Leonard Nimoy, and Jeff Goldblum in the lead roles, and the film is a masterclass in paranoia. It has a spectacular 93% Rotten Tomatoes score and is not only considered one of the best remakes of all time, but one of the best sci-fi movies as well.

There are also lots of Easter eggs for fans who watch the movie on Prime Video this month to discover, including a great scene in which Kevin McCarthy runs down the road warning people of the aliens. McCarthy was the star of the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers movie.
