Since this one was soooooooo highly requested, and I was very in the 'law movie' mood, I recorded this one! It was NOT what I expected haha, I thought it was going to be a dark hardcore law movie, which it wasn't, BUT I did enjoy it a lot! I hope you enjoy this reaction ^^

Oh I can’t wait. I fucking love this movie. THESE TWO YOUTS

Travis

A good courtroom drama that could tie in with black history month as well is “A Time to Kill”

I guess a huge TV recommendation that is legal-drama adjacent would be Breaking Bad (highly recommended throughout) and Better Call Saul, the successor show without giving away any details. It's quite the investment to watch 4 1/2 Season each, I guess, so not sure how good a fit it is, but it's crime, it's awfully well-made and entertains where other shows are boring, so... you sure won't regret giving it a try. Movie recommendations: Few Good Men, A Time to Kill, To Kill A Mockingbird... you'll be happy to hear that there is a not-too-shallow pool of great movies out there scratching this particular itch, and I doubt folks would mind a poll specifically for law-related movies. Something about the subject matter works well with cinema.

Mary, when William was first brought in the sheriff asked him 'Is that when you shot the clerk?' and William replied, incredulously, 'I shot the clerk?!?' a couple of times. That's what the sheriff is talking about. It's a misunderstanding!

Yes 100% this. Breaking Bad is the greatest crime saga of this century. The greatest tv show in history, with they greatest performances in tv history. Would love to see her reaction to that show.

I love this film, but "A Few Good Men" is a must-watch! Based on a Tony-Award nominated play by Aaron Sorkin, who also did the screenplay (and directed by the guy that did "The Princess Bride"!!, Rob Reiner) it delves into the two extreme ends of the spectrum in the United States Military. This is coming from a US Military vet. It makes me want to stand up and salute at the end every damn time.

As another Patron pointed out, the Sheriff wasn't lying when he says the defendant said that he shot the clerk, you were just talking during the scene. That's when he realized they had arrested him for murder and not for shoplifting. It was a funny miscommunication.

Andrew Howard

Really fun movie, always great to see it with new eyes (and new ears for some of the music). I think Joe Pesci did a really good job playing someone who's so close to being a real jerk, but still selling the heart the character has. For all the bickering him and Marissa Tomei get into, that last scene in the courtroom where they're playing off each other is just fantastic.

Brian Jones

Great reaction as always Mary, and yes, absolutely want to see your reaction for A Few Good Men. It's definitely not a comedy. It is more about the military justice system than the standard civilian legal system though. I think you will enjoy it quite a bit. The performances from everyone involved, especially Jack Nicholson, are amazing. Would also highly recommend The Firm, Rainmaker, Michael Clayton, and The Accused.

Also, on a side note, My Cousin Vinny is often shown to law students here in the U.S. In most cases just for a humorous break from study, but it does contain one very good legal lesson regarding the objection to a witness. As many legal professionals have said, his objection to the expert witness is about as real and accurate as you can get, and in any court other than a fictional one, it would have been sustained. The movie is also very quotable among lawyers. Probably only second to the famous Southpark "Chewbacca defense". :) Marisa Tomei also won an Oscar for best supporting actress for the film.

You should watch Goodfellas to see Joe Pesci in his iconic role. And Ralph Macchio in Karate Kid :)

Michael Cruse

The owl in the woods that sounded like a demon is called a screech owl. They live in eastern US forests. They look all cute and cuddly, but they really do sound horrifying.

Bob Criswell

Yes! Please watch A Few Good Men. It's a wonderful movie and I'd love to watch your reaction.
