What is your favorite Legal/Courtroom Drama?

I recommend it as well. Norton is fantastic in Primal Fear.

Favorite Trial Film?

Other good ones: Rules of Engagement, Town Without Pity, A Man For All Seasons and lots of others I can't think of.

Not a big fan of this genre either...

Why do you limit yourself? Every genre has good movies.

Well, it's not like I haven't seen any courtroom dramas (not that I've seen a ton either). I've seen a few off that list plus some others (like Primal Fear, the second half of Sleepers, etc.) but this sub-genre just doesn't appeal to me that much. I don't deny there are good courtroom flicks, but I find most of them kind of by-the-numbers and... uninteresting I guess.

Rules of Engagement was solid.

12 Angry men, 50s version.

Ditto. Although the remake was decent.

Did really like JFK too.

A few good men.

A Time To Kill

True Believer with James Woods and Robert Downey Jr. is another good one.

12 Angry Men was good, the remake at least. Have yet to see the original.

I remembered that I made a similar thread, QM, and just merged them together. I edited the poll to include my own personal favorite, Inherit the Wind.

Inherit the Wind, to me, is a landmark title. Not because I'm an atheist, rather it speaks to me about tolerance and acceptance.

To Kill a Mockingbird

12 angry men with Fonda in it is one of my top 5 movie ever
