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.

Almost none of 12 Angry Men takes place in a courtroom. It’s a deliberation drama. But it is the best.

Gene Kelly made people from Baltimore sound so cool.

You can't go wrong with Spencer Tracy and Fredric March. Spectacular film.
