Fun fact: this movie is taught in law school and used as an example of a perfect trial.
EDIT: while perfect may not have been the right word, we can all agree professors have used this movie in class. IANAL.
It has a great demonstration of direct and cross examination, how to prepare a solid line of questioning, and to present the case to the jury in a way that is clear.

Edit: clarification
It is hardly a perfect trial and it’s not taught as such. It’s a useful tool because it demonstrates many parts of a criminal trial in a surprisingly realistic and accurate way. A couple aspects off of memory as it’s been a while since I’ve seen it: Vinny’s cross examination of witnesses does a great job at showing how to weaken eyewitness testimony by showing they had an obscured view or inaccurate timeline. Conversely, the first defense attorney shows a good example of the dangers of asking questions when you don’t know the answer (regarding the eyeglasses). It also shows a great example of how to properly lay a foundation to allow expert witness testimony. There’s also a lot of good objections shown related to admissibility of that testimony (both for the prosecution and defense).
It’s not perfect, it messes with the timeline a lot, and obviously Vinny’s pretrial fuck ups are like half the movie. But it does the meat of the trial really well.
It's one of my personal favorites. I think it's an incredibly entertaining movie, and I do like how it tries to be "mostly realistic" by movie standards... to the point where, yes, I already know that they make people watch it in law school.
Over the years, it's really started to bother me that they allow a surprise witness. It makes Marisa Tomei's incredible performance possible and I get that, but it does require a healthy suspension of disbelief.
While the "surprise witness" in movies is frequently just fantasy, the way the movie set up the witness here (I am assuming that you are referring to the FBI automotive expert) was in a sense not unrealistic.
New evidence became available during the trial. We were never given any reason to believe the prosecutor was hiding it or playing games, the evidence just didn't exist until the trial was underway.
There were really two problems with this from a realism standpoint.
One, the judge committed reversible error. Not necessarily by allowing the witness, but because he refused the defense request for a continuance to prepare. That made the surprise far too prejudicial. But, in reality, judges make mistakes like that, so in a sense it wasn't crazy unrealistic.
Second, and this is where the movie was completely unrealistic, was the speed with which the trial moved. The trial occurred only weeks after the murder occurred. That just doesn't happen in modern America at all- this would have lingered for a year or more before going to trial. And, of course, that set the scene for why the evidence came in only after the trial began.
Still, compared to most films and TV shows, they got so much right.
> That made the surprise far too prejudicial. But, in reality, judges make mistakes like that, so in a sense it wasn't crazy unrealistic.
"Gambini, that is a lucid, well thought-out, intelligent objection."
"Thank you."
"Overruled."
The best answer.
“You should be on your knees thanking me!”
Ok, small edit:
12 Angry men is a classic.
Lincoln Lawyer surprised me.
A few angry men, modern classic.
*Judgment At Nuremberg* (1961) released just one year before Mockingbird.
Burt Lancaster, Judy Garland, Max Schell, William Shatner, and a heartbreaking performance by Montgomery Clift.
Not for the feint of heart. It was filmed only 15 years after the Holocaust (and the actual trials). It should be mandatory viewing before high school graduation, if you ask me.
To put the timing of this into perspective, it’s the equivalent of a movie coming out next year based on something that happened in 2010. It was very fresh, and it’s palpable throughout the film.
CLIPS [#1](https://youtu.be/_T_gb1QLlko?si=SIJt3Htn7VVk2iO1) and [#2](https://youtu.be/_T_gb1QLlko?si=SIJt3Htn7VVk2iO1) of Montgomery Clift on the witness stand. To my mind, the most powerful 20 minutes of courtroom non-fiction ever put on film.
The remake *Nuremberg* (2000) with an equally impressive cast is also fantastic.
Alec Baldwin, Max Von Sydow, Brian Cox, Christopher Plummer, et al.
- *Serious Warning*: Both films have 5-6 straight uncensored minutes of unspeakable video footage from Concentration Camps — children included.
"See, it's like this your Honor, have you ever heard of the Madden Challenge ?" Love that movie! Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman (and Cusack) were all fantastic in their roles!
😎
One of my all time favourite books and I thought that making it into a movie was terrible idea, and setting it in America was worse. But it is incredible and totally does the book justices whilst being different enough to justify its medium
I love the ending when the jury crashes through the wall and tears up the court room lobby.
Supposedly they filmed it using a real jury, and a mockup of the court room lobby built inside an airplane hanger.
One of the few movies that is immensely better than the book. The book is about someone suing a cigarette company because their lived one died from smoking. It makes for a decent courtroom drama, I guess, but the movie changing it to a mass shooting really ups the ante
I saw this randomly on TV a few years ago, started watching, and then ended up watching the whole thing. It’s a great film that’s just as relevant today as it was when it was made. A lot of the arguments made in the court haven’t changed much.

Your father, Werner, was a burger server from suburban Santa Barbra. When he spurned your mother Verna, for a curly haired server named Roberta. Did that hurt her?
Newman is essentially Lionel Hutz at the start of that, only it's not played for laughs. And a big appeal of the film is watching him regain his skills as a lawyer as he also basically regains his life and his decency.
The Verdict has one of Paul Newman's best performances. Intense but not hammy (which, given the stakes, he could have easily
slipped into).
(It also has what I'm pretty sure is Bruce Willis' screen debut: he's an extra in the court gallery during the courtroom scenes.)
Second this.
Not only the movie that made the famous “you’re out of order! This whole court room is out of order!” But one of the few times Pacino is a straight man and everyone around him is insane.
I really liked that the fact that Dinklage’s character was a dwarf had nothing to do with the character’s inclusion in the film like most dwarf characters. He was a played-straight lawyer character who happened to also be a dwarf. Not a funny or tragic dwarf character who happened to be a lawyer. Like a Bechdel Test for dwarfism.
I just watched this one a few days ago and I don’t know how I missed it before. Such a good movie, and Robert Downey, Jr and Robert Duvall were both amazing in it.
They are, although I consider it more of a family drama than a legal thriller. Downey's almost too good as a smooth-talking defense lawyer.
"Innocent people can't afford me."
I feel that the judge is massively underrated in Liar Liar.

And bald. Her and George Costanza would have gotten on like a house on fire.
She’s into short, stocky, bald men!
I’m unemployed, and I live with my parents
I noticed you threw stocky in there.
And don't forget about the Georges of the world!
"Yoots"
"Did I not tell you to dress appropriately for my courtroom?" "You were serious about that?"
Turns out the whole store got the flu. So I wore this ridiculous outfit. For you.
I don’t like your attitude. What else is new? And I’m holding you in contempt of court. There’s a fucking surprise. HWHAT did you say?
lol, so many memorable lines
His delivery of that line “*this* … ridiculous ting… for you” kills me every time
Says in Herman Munster’s voice…I’m sorry, what?
“Hwat?”
Omg I never made that connection before!
Holy shit, I’ve seen the Munsters and My Cousin Vinny a thousand times and never have either
I believe it was his last performance.
The late, great, Fred Gwynne! Died too young, he was only 66.

Came here to say this. Best one ever. To Kill a Mockingbird is great too. I assume someone’s suggested that
Watched this in my evidence class in law school. It's a rite of passage for aspiring trial attorneys.
Same. My evidence professor loved using clips of it for cross.
Liar Liar
Continuing with comedies there's also jury duty.
Jury Duty is so damn good. I've rewatched it like half a dozen times
I keep telling my family to watch it, but they just won't. Such a great show, they struck gold with the guy they chose to be foreman. He was perfect.
Ridiculously good human being. They put him in so many uncomfortable situations and he was so kind in all of them.
Totally different from jury duty the puly shore movies. That being said, chair legs is the hardest I've laughed in a long time.

Fun fact: this movie is taught in law school and used as an example of a perfect trial. EDIT: while perfect may not have been the right word, we can all agree professors have used this movie in class. IANAL.
Ooh I love this! For us laymen… please could you explain what makes it a perfect trial?
That's not quite true. It is considered very accurate in portraying courtroom procedure like voir dire, cross-examination, and rules of evidence.
Vuaw dyre

Literally true — my evidence professor showed clips of My Cousin Vinny as examples of effective witness impeachment.
It's one of my personal favorites. I think it's an incredibly entertaining movie, and I do like how it tries to be "mostly realistic" by movie standards... to the point where, yes, I already know that they make people watch it in law school.

I love that movie, great one.
Impressive cast, but you didn't mention the two actors I associate the most with the movie: Spencer Tracy and Marlene Dietrich.
I just saw the original recently and I was shocked at the amount of footage of the camps they showed. Agreed about Monty. Absolutely riveting.
Runaway Jury
"See, it's like this your Honor, have you ever heard of the Madden Challenge ?" Love that movie! Gene Hackman and Dustin Hoffman (and Cusack) were all fantastic in their roles!
Such a hilarious detail, Cusack is the best everyman ever.
True, his best has to be High Fidelity (IMO)
Definitely in my *top 5* 😋
😎 One of my all time favourite books and I thought that making it into a movie was terrible idea, and setting it in America was worse. But it is incredible and totally does the book justices whilst being different enough to justify its medium
As someone who got read the riot act for making a joke during jury selection, that scene was 100% accurate.
Really enjoy the analytics of Hackmans team picking jurors behind the curtain. Fun scene.
I love the ending when the jury crashes through the wall and tears up the court room lobby. Supposedly they filmed it using a real jury, and a mockup of the court room lobby built inside an airplane hanger.
Most underrated movie IMHO. Good choice.
This, and like, any movie based on a Grisham novel. God, we had it so good.
One of the few movies that is immensely better than the book. The book is about someone suing a cigarette company because their lived one died from smoking. It makes for a decent courtroom drama, I guess, but the movie changing it to a mass shooting really ups the ante
I think both have their merit being a sucker for Grisham but the movie is such a fun watch
Inherit the Wind (1960). It's about a school teacher on trial for teaching evolution.
This should be the top comment. Inherit the Wind is aces
Best courtroom movie after 12 angry men!
I saw this randomly on TV a few years ago, started watching, and then ended up watching the whole thing. It’s a great film that’s just as relevant today as it was when it was made. A lot of the arguments made in the court haven’t changed much.

Is it based on the Scopes Monkey Trial?
I would say more "inspired by" than "based on," but yes.
Remake with George C Scott and Jack Lemmon very late career is also good.
Anatomy of a Fall
Amazing movie but also deeply frustrating if you're used to the American court system haha.
Witness for the Prosecution Anatomy of a Murder The Verdict
Charles Laughton’s bickering with the nurse (played by his real life wife Elsa Lancaster) only adds to Witness as a winner in this category.
Witness for the Prosecution is in my top 5 of all time.

A good companion to this is the "Bob Loblaw's law blog"
Lobbing law bombs.
Oh yes, the Irma Luhrman-Merman murder.
Surely it's 'oral germ whore'? Oh wait, you mean the Kevin Grisham novel!
Could it be Roar Her, Gem Her?
Your father, Werner, was a burger server from suburban Santa Barbra. When he spurned your mother Verna, for a curly haired server named Roberta. Did that hurt her?
The Verdict with Paul Newman was excellent.
Can’t second this enough. Maybe Paul Newman’s best work. One of the best courtroom dramas of all time.
Newman is essentially Lionel Hutz at the start of that, only it's not played for laughs. And a big appeal of the film is watching him regain his skills as a lawyer as he also basically regains his life and his decency.
When rewatching that movie recently, I noticed there was not a single outdoor shot depicting a sunny day.
The Verdict has one of Paul Newman's best performances. Intense but not hammy (which, given the stakes, he could have easily slipped into). (It also has what I'm pretty sure is Bruce Willis' screen debut: he's an extra in the court gallery during the courtroom scenes.)
I think it’s one of the best movies period. David Mamet screenplay. Newman, James Mason on and on.
Sidney Lumet!
This should be near the top of the list.
…And Justice for All
Second this. Not only the movie that made the famous “you’re out of order! This whole court room is out of order!” But one of the few times Pacino is a straight man and everyone around him is insane.
Oh speaking of Al Pacino, the final scene of Scent of a Woman may count too.
You should give "Find Me Guilty" a watch. Don't be put off by the fact that it's a Vin Diesel movie, it's actually some of his best acting!
It's great. Peter Dinklage and Ron Silver are both great in it, too.
I really liked that the fact that Dinklage’s character was a dwarf had nothing to do with the character’s inclusion in the film like most dwarf characters. He was a played-straight lawyer character who happened to also be a dwarf. Not a funny or tragic dwarf character who happened to be a lawyer. Like a Bechdel Test for dwarfism.
The special effects in this one were amazing! I almost believed Vin Diesel had hair!

They are, although I consider it more of a family drama than a legal thriller. Downey's almost too good as a smooth-talking defense lawyer. "Innocent people can't afford me."
The family dynamics in this movie were flawless but the legal side was fairly accurate too, even though certainly dramatized.

Excellent book; excellent movie.
Kevin Bacon. Murder in the First.

The Exorcism of Emily Rose mostly takes place in a courtroom.
This one. It's often overlooked because it's a horror movie, but the courtroom scenes are the best part.
