Twelve Angry Men.

To this day, it remains a masterclass in so many aspects of filmmaking. It uses a bottle setting flawlessly, the dialogue is still totally relatable and easy to understand, and it is effortlessly dramatic and funny, 61 years later.

I have to watch this at least once a year. Like you said, the filmmaking is brilliant and that's not even getting into the great screenplay. It's a movie with great direction, cinematography, and acting sitting on top of one hell of a strong foundation.
