I really like courtroom drama type of movie film. Yesterday I saw A Few Good Men, I saw it before but I really like it. Good movie. Anybody recommend other good courtroom drama style movie?

Here is one for you.

 

In a trial, in a small South Carolina town, a prosecuting attorney called his first witness to the stand. She was sworn in, asked if she would tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, on the Bible, so help her God. She says "I do."

 

She was a proper well-dressed elderly lady, the grandmother type, well-spoken and poised. The prosecuting attorney approached the woman and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know me?" She responded, "Why, yes I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, cheat on your wife, manipulate people and talk badly about them behind their backs.

 

You think you're a rising big shot when you haven't the sense to realize you never will amount to anything more than a two-bit paper-pushing shyster. Yes, I know you quite well."

 

The lawyer was stunned. He couldn't even think for a few moments. Then, he slowly backed away, fearing the looks on the judge and jurors' faces, not to mention the court reporter who documented every word.

 

Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney? "She again replied, "Why, yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, big-mouthed and has a bad drinking problem. The man can't build or keep a normal relationship with anyone and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. Yes, I know him."

 

The defense attorney almost fainted and was seen slipping downward in his chair, looking at the floor. Laughter mixed with gasps thundered throughout the court room and the audience was on the verge of chaos.

 

At this point, the judge brought the courtroom to silence, called both counselors to the bench, and in a very quiet voice said, "If either of you crooked bastards asks her if she knows me, you'll be thrown in jail for contempt. Is that clear?

Not courtroom as such, I liked The Firm as well. A Few Good Men was good, wouldnt mind seeing that again.

12 Angry Men.

 

Also, try the tv show The Practice - really good. It's on Fox.

runaway jury. although the book is better, & in the book its a case against a tabacco company - in the movie its guns! they must have decided guns make better drama... still quite a decent movie anyway.

The Grisham movies have never been as good as they could be I feel, still decent entertainment though. Practice is a good series too.

Saw Body of Evidence last night with Madonna in it. Worth a watch even if for the hammy acting and silly story.
