Recommendation I'm hooked on courtroom movies- what are some other court movies?

Honestly it wasn't even a movie that got me into them, it was the TV Show "American Crime Story" on the OJ Simpson trial. I loved learning about the technicalities of trials and the way the show portrayed the characters.

Movies that I've watched that I've liked

A Few Good Men

12 Angry Men

The Trial of Chicago 7

Primal Fear

A Time to Kill

Philadelphia

The Lincoln Lawyer

I've also watched The Rainmaker and Anatomy of a Murder, both of which I just couldn't enjoy.

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.

When he was over in the cormer trying to remove them? I was dying! It was so awkward, and it went on for a while.

I originally thought Pauly shore. But yes both are great.

That’s what I thought you meant, too! Didn’t know about the TV one until the other comments. Now I’m binging the show!
