[Film] Your favourite courtroom based film.

[Rambo]

12 Angry Men

Beats all others hands down for me.

The Client .... (Susan Sarandon)

As already posted To Kill A Mocking Bird

 

[Stat Brother]

I guess, much like @The Clamp, I'm more of a sucker for court room films than I thought.

Not much on here I've not seen, I think Erin Brockovich is the biggest hole in my viewing library.

 

[Poyningsgull]

Perry Mason not getting a mention then ?

Eastenders. There seems to be a trial for someone every other bleeding week in that excuse for a show,
usually involving Phil.

 

[Comrade Sam]

Argentina 1985. Bloody awesome true story from last year. Well someone's got to prosecute the Generals once democracy is restored. (On Prime)

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Wasn't that a tv series as opposed to a film?

I was joking

12 angry men is one of my favourite films of all time. I even enjoyed the 90s remake with Jack Lemmon and George C Scott (among other big names).

I had a bit of a John Grisham phase, enjoying A Time to Kill, The Client, The Chamber, The Rainmaker

Recently watched Witness for the Prosecution and enjoyed it.

There's a fun japanese film based on a video game that can count - Ace Attorney.

 

[Live by the sea]

Kramer v Kramer & a few good men

 

[Sussexscots]

Breaker Morant.

 

[Acker79]

Legally Blonde (and legally blonde the musical!)

 

[Toongull]

Few Good Men as mentioned by many but I also liked Philadelphia

 

[chaileyjem]

Several that haven't been mentioned yet

Saint Omer (on Mubi)
The Caine Mutiny
The Verdict

but All the Good Men - i've watched about 10 times.

It’s a trial watching it.

Is it cheating to mention my favourite film of all time (which I may have mentioned previously, ahem) has much of it building up to an Appeal against a death sentence and the last part of it devoted to the Court Scene?

Many great ones mentioned. I'd add
The Winslow Boy (1948 version starring Robert Donat)
Adam's Rib (Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn)

It's annoying when you go through a thread and 3 posts from the end someone has named that film!!

I'd go for The Verdict, 12 Angry Men and probably A Few Good Men. There are plenty others and I always enjoy a good courtroom drama. Whatever happened to Crown Court.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Whatever happened to Crown Court?

Talking Pictures TV, on every day

 

[Van Cleef]

Judgement at Nuremberg
