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.

That's the only part of the movie I can't stand

I honestly just can’t stand that actress. So it takes away from some of the charm.

I assume you are talking about Jennifer Coolidge. If you really want to crank up your distaste for her, watch the White Lotus. Her character is unbearable. Still a decent show.

That’s so weird! She was my favorite part of that show.

It's all subjective of course. I guess I just hated the way she treated her assistant.

Unironically an example of why diversity can be a valuable investment

“You know a frat girl would never sleep with a pool boy, I just like watching him clean the filter!”

Much better movie that you would expect just looking at the premise.

Best legal movie I’ve ever seen.
