[Film] Your favourite courtroom based film.

[Stat Brother]

You've all missed one, and it's a biggie.

As with the 'One Word Film' month thread this was all a ruse to see what would come up in preparation for The Rewatchables upcoming theme month.

It started with Primal Fear, then A Time To Kill, followed by My Cousin Vinny It'll end with A Few Good Men but the one you all missed happens to be Norman Jewison directing Al Pacino in a Barry Levinson screenplay

And Justice For All



No I'd not seen it either.

 

[Randy McNob]

Does Carlito's way count ?

 

[Pavilionaire]

JFK

 

[Questions]

Has anyone said A Miracle on 34th Street ?

Kris Kringles team were brilliant

 

[BBassic]

Controversial choice maybe but 'The Exorcism of Emily Rose' has a lot of courtroom stuff.

It seems like a further podcast in this series is happening.

As well as a return to A Few Good Men - Live in LA on Thurs.
(I would have gone but for the LA in question being Los Angeles and not as Id hoped Littlehampton)
But the slate of rewatchable courtroom dramas will also include:-

The Devil's Advocate (can't be arsed to look back and see if anyone picked that)

 

[portlock seagull]

Philadelphia

 

[Frankie]

12 angry men would of been perfect if not for the glaring mistake,but I suppose 10 angry men and two dolly birds wouldn't have the same ring to it.

My Cousin Vinnie is just a fabulous film.

Fracture is my favourite.

While acknowledging it's more of a jury room film than a courtrrom film, a lot of people have noted 12 Angry Men as a favourite, so I thought I'd post this here in case there was interest:

Witness for the Prosecution now on BBC Four for anyone interested.

 

[spongy]

A Time To Kill
The Lincoln Lawyer

Matthew McConaughey is in a few of my favourites films thinking about it. And possibly a very underrated actor...
