1962 was such a spectacular year in film. Some highlights:

The late '50s and early '60s was an incredible period of filmmaking. We have Twelve Angry Men and Inherit the Wind, plus Kurosawa's most famous films, amidst a general flourishing of filmmaking in Japan. But 1962 stands out as a spectacular year in this spectacular decade: no less than TEN great films, all released in a single twelve-month period.
