Given the subject matter of both films, this would be a great double feature. 12 Angry Men wins, but The Ox-Bow Incident is also really good.

Ditto Caesar.

I agree with my two renowned associates above.

Similar films. While I'm not a huge fan of those miraculous plot twists in 12 Angry Men, I would probably choose it for generally better script and Lumet's direction.

Sounds like it's unanimous.

Definitely work as companion pieces, with Henry Fonda's powerful performances providing a moral compass through the different course of justice. Oxbow heavily critiques lynching on suspicion, whilst 12 Angry Men focuses on looking past racial and social prejudice. I have to go with the engrossing courtroom drama, 12 Angry Men.
