All About Eve: 9, 12 Angry Men: 10. Great movies!

I'll take All About Eve. Fantastic acting, great story, and a whole lot less stagey than 12 Angry Men, despite being predominately set on the stage.

12 Angry Men wins here. Both are classics in their own right, but 12 Angry Men is just an acting clinic...

I liked All About Eve a lot more than I thought I would. It's a good movie. It's not quite as good as 12 Angry Men, however.

Gotta get on that Eve Harrington swag.

Along with Predator, I can always watch 12 Angry Men whenever it's on. 12 Angry Men wins.

12 Angry Men all the way.

Wow! There aren't many truly perfect films that exist. These are two of them on the shortlist..Really, I honestly can't find a single thing wrong with either. Both are mainstays in my top 10. Really, there's no wrong answer here. I personally love All About Eve more though. I just think Bette Davis' Margo Channing is better than any character in 12 Angry Men, and that's saying a lot right there considering Lee J. Cobb (and of course Henry Fonda) put on a brilliant performance in 12 Angry Men. All in all though, these two along with Casablanca are the three best ensembles of all time in my opinion.
