Ahhhhhh I loved this one so much. For my personal pick I was going to go for Memento, but when I woke up I really felt like it was a good day for this one ^^.

Memento is a great one to watch as well, but it will take some focus. The good news is you really won't need to take notes(though I'm sure you will - it's habitual) because most of the movie is in the protagonist's pov. So any feeling of confusion matches what's going on in the film.

Reinforcing what Karl said...Memento will take some focus. But totally worth it for this unique drama.

Andy Hafler

Memento is movie garbage.

You gonna expound or should we leave it at "one man's trash is another man's treasure"?

Frank Acevedo

This is one of my favorite courtroom dramas and I watch it every so often. Suggesting another great courtroom drama would be “The Exorcism of Emily Rose”. It’s not at all what you’d expect telling a creepy story of an exorcism gone wrong through the courtroom case of the priest who conducted the exorcism and calling into question faith and the existence of demons. Based on an actual court case it’s pretty riveting the arguments presented from both sides for and against the existence of the spiritual/supernatural on a legal basis. A few spooky moments but worth the watch. ☺️👍

You can't go wrong with the Aaron Sorkin dialogues, he's by far my favorite writer. The West Wing, Sports Night, The Newsroom, The Social network, Moneyball, even his lighter work like The American President has no right to be as good as it is.

The movie title comes from an advertising campaign the US Marines had at the time. The Marines are looking for a few good men.

Another good film to check out is "The Firm", with Tom Cruise as the new Harvard Law School graduate. Lots of unexpected twists and turns (and a great musical score by Dave Grusin).

Nope. I am much more tired of Nolan than... everybody else, it seems, but Memento is brilliant and unique.

The film's author Aaron Sorkin is one of the finest screenwriters working today. He very recently produced another highly entertaining courtroom drama for Netflix called THE TRIAL OF THE CHICAGO 7 (2020), based on a true story. Other must-see works of his include THE SOCIAL NETWORK (2010) directed by David Fincher, MONEYBALL (2011) starring Brad Pitt, and the political romantic comedy THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT (1995) where he re-teamed with FEW GOOD MEN director Rob Reiner. While they have been recommended by others here already, I figured I'd also suggest for future superb courtroom/legal dramas THE FIRM (1993) starring Tom Cruise; MICHAEL CLAYTON (2007) starring George Clooney; A CIVIL ACTION (1998), starring John Travolta; PRIMAL FEAR (1996) starring Richard Gere and Edward Norton; and as Frank Acevedo mentioned above, THE EXORCISM OF EMILY ROSE (2005), which despite its horror elements, is first and foremost a moving courtroom drama.

Tony Williams

Just thought I'd throw out my 2 suggestions again. Scent Of A Woman has its own "court room drama" that I believe you would really like, and of course I'll add Dead Poets Society again and keep my fingers crossed. Hope all of you have a great day.

Great reaction as always.... I notice people are listing a whole lot of films that include lawyers, or have brief scenes in court and whatnot, but not really what I would call true courtroom drama...... I would list the following for true courtroom dramas..... True Believer (1989), Presumed Innocent (1990), JFK (1991), The Rainmaker (1997), A Civil Action (1998), The Accused (1988), The Lincoln Lawyer (2011), Runaway Jury (2003), Primal Fear (1996), Michael Clayton (2007), Philadelphia (1993), The Verdict (1982), 12 Angry Men (1957), Dark Waters (2019), A Time to Kill (1996), And Justice for All (1979)..... Any of the films I just listed are well worth the watch, acclaimed by both audiences and critics, and much like A Few Good Men, center around an actual case and trial in a courtroom. I also noticed a lot of people mentioning The Firm (1993), but that's more of a mystery/thriller than a courtroom movie, it just happens to center around a law firm. Still a great flick though. And I did see The Social Network (2010) mentioned multiple times, and while it's not really a courtroom film per say, but centered around a legal arbitration, it's close and is an absolutely incredible Movie that I'd recommend to you regardless.

Ah yes, Primer....Now THAT is a great independent film that doesn't get enough credit. But if Mary ever plans on truly diving into indie films, I have a list of amazing movies longer than my arm for her to watch. :)

While you're certainly welcome to your opinion and all, a vast majority of the viewing public and countless critics would strongly disagree with you.

I would argue he was better back then, in the 90's.... I don't know if it's ego or what, but his dialogue has become more pretentious and unrealistic as he has gotten older. Newsroom was an example of that. Moneyball was a really good return to form though, and it worked well in The Social network as you were already dealing with pretentious characters. So in that instance, and with Fincher as the director, it turned out to be a masterpiece.

Hi Mary...a great film to react to is 'To Kill a Mockingbird'. Old from 1962 and in black and white but don't let that stop you, it is truly excellent. Stars Gregory Peck. Movie version of the novel by Harper Lee. Thanks and keep up the great work

Mike LL

You deserve extra praise for realizing (or speculating, lol) what Kafee realized when he looked into his own closet. You said it might be about the fact that Santiago was not packed, and give you credit, you were right! Great reaction to a great film. Does this make you feel any different about Jack Nicolson, or do you still think he is a scary actor, ha ha.

Jpsynergy

Great react. It's fun to see you watch crime/drama movies that you're particularly interested in.
