12 Angry Men
(1957) -- Tense courtroom (well, jury room) piece that still holds up.
Fail-Safe (1964) -- The serious parallel of Dr. Strangelove, a
very affecting movie. It begins by setting up good characters (including a
non-comic and evil performance by Walter Matthau, and a sweet one by Larry
Hagman), becomes a great thriller, and then gets downright depressing. You
might need a quiet moment after this one is over.
Network (1976) -- One of the funniest and
smartest films ever, probably the best satire since Dr.
Strangelove.
Deathtrap (1982) -- Michael Cain and
Christopher Reeve are pretty great. A good movie as far as plot-twisty
murder stuff goes.
