A very good movie is "12 Angry Men" (
original, with Henry Fonda, and
TV remake, with Jack Lemmon). Actually, I just saw that it is #21 in the Top 250 movies, ahead of "The Matrix" and "Saving Private Ryan"
.
[EDIT]
I've got the original in DVD, and it was made in 1957, so it's possible that you saw the original... We've got many old movies in DVD, you shouldn't affirm that "if it's DVD, it's new"...
