Currently chain-watching legal/courtroom drama and thriller movies, John Grisham adaptations and a few other classics (12 Angry Men, To Kill A Mockingbird).
Recent favorites include: A Time to Kill, The Firm, Runaway Jury and The Lincoln Lawyer. I even rewatched the Devil’s Advocate for kicks :)
Any other great flicks in this genre I should check out?
A Few Good Men
My Cousin Vinny (A comedy I suppose)
Dark Waters
Rules of Engagement
JFK
Primal Fear
Sleepers
187 (Doesn’t have any courtroom elements, but it does cover the morality of the law and what that might mean to private citizens in danger)
Criminal Law
Thank you - will definitely (re)watch these.
Good list, cheers!
Absence of Malice - Raises some interesting points.
A Civil Action
Fracture
Primal Fear is a favourite of mine.
Presumed Innocent, The Firm and Primal Fear.
Pelican Brief.
I really really second Primal Fear. Don't look up anything about it. Just watch.
Is that the one with John Travolta?
Presumed Innocent
Night Falls on Manhattan
Find Me Guilty
Saint Omer
Erin Brockovich
Check out A civil action.
A Dry White Season and Witness for the Prosecution
The Verdict
The Firm (1993)
Michael Clayton (2007)
Neither take place in a courtroom, but both are excellent legal thrillers.
Yep, and a bunch of other notable cast. Robert Duvall got an Oscar nomination for his part.
Loved The Firm, will check out the other two, thx.
The Castle.
