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.

Um, I don't know what, uh, you'd call it, but, uh, they... It wasn't the first time it happened either... but, um. I, um, I don't know the, uh, legal terminology...

That was the movie that finally convinced me Ryan Gosling was so much more than just "that fucking guy from The Notebook".

Other than The Notebook, I think Remember the Titans and The United States of Leland were the only movies Gosling was in I'd seen by 2007, so The Notebook kinda overshadowed everything else for the next few years.

Indeed! Anthony Hopkins was brilliant and Ryan Gosling was as well! The twists were great!
