What are your favourite movies about lawyers, trials, litigation...?

doc_sarvis23:48 UTC20 Nov 2007

The Devils Advocate........mmmm Charlize Theron wipes drool

cogito00:02 UTC21 Nov 2007

To Kill a Mockingbird. After 30 years I still have a crush on Atticus Finch.

joeyramone00:13 UTC21 Nov 2007

Al Pacino in "and justice for all"

joeyramone00:18 UTC21 Nov 2007

By the way, "my cousin Vinny" is a great trail movie, and the procedures followed ( preliminary hearing, discovery, etc) are follwoed pretty accurately. Even when the "surprise witness" from the FBI is admitted, Pesci's objection is accurate!

whats that oldie about the two cowpokes who are acused of horse stealing and are tryed and lynched and then it turns out they were innocent?

vinnyd07:39 UTC21 Nov 2007

Remember The Night, 1940. Fred MacMurray is a Manhattan assistant DA prosecuting Barbara Stanwyck for shoplifting. One thing leads to another. Screenplay by Preston Sturgess.

#5 -- The Ox-Bow Incident.

The Castle

12 Angry Men and To Kill a Mockingbird

irrumatio21:22 UTC21 Nov 2007

This belongs in The Ten Movies Game, scumbags!

Carlito's Way
Kramer Vs. Kramer
A Few Good Men

kerouac221:41 UTC21 Nov 2007

Death to the 10 movies game!

Primal Fear (very very evil!)

micolett22:19 UTC21 Nov 2007

Agree with #8, 12 Angry Men is THE one.
I also like Le Juge et L'Assassin and Breaker Morant, for the use of trial scenes.

qhay22:33 UTC21 Nov 2007

My favourites are:

- A civil action
- Witness for the Prosecution
- 12 angry men

istvan01:52 UTC22 Nov 2007

The Firm
- A Few Good Men
re. 12 Angry Men - I've seen this movie in my English class at school. The one line I remember is one juror saying:"He don't even speak good English". (This could be a nice sigline, by the way)

The Verdict

1982: Paul Newman, James Mason, Charlotte Rampling

The Verdict

valbali20:37 UTC22 Nov 2007

TO KILL A MOCKING BIRD... just saw it again as part of our Book Club (after reading the book again!) Atticus Finch is a hottie (an oh-so-handsome Gregory Peck). Divine book - one of the few that made a good movie too.

ravings21:38 UTC22 Nov 2007

10,000 Dead Lawyers.
Bollicks, they haven't made it yet.
I can live in hope
