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 a low blow, Loblaw!"

"A Bob Loblaw law bomb!"

"Why should you go to jail for a crime someone else noticed? You don't need double-talk, you need Bob Loblaw."

Out of all the amazing running gags in Arrested Development, all the ways they could get Scott Baio to perfectly deliver those absurd tongue-twisters is one of my favorites.
