What's your opinion of the best movie with courtroom scenes?

I'll start with "To Kill a Mockingbird"

    A few Good Men jumps out alright. Another good one is "A Time to Kill" with Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock and Samuel L. Jackson. "Primal Fear" with Richard Gere and Edward Norton has a great ending.

    Two come to mind, as an augment to the string:
    1. Witness for the Prosecution-Marlene Dietreich/Charles Laughton.
    2. (Assault at West Point*) It stars Samuel Jackson, and Sam Waterston in the true story of an 1870's court martial of [the first] black West Point cadet. The 'off scenes' are pure conjecture, but the courtroom scenes were taken directly from the minutes recorded during the actual trial. Best, Joe

    The video clip of a judge taking-out a guy in his courtroom that pulled a gun and had opened up.

    I don't know the title, if it had one ... and it did not last long ... it was memorable courtroom scene though!

    Anatomy of a Murder with Jimmy Stewart. George C. Scott was excellent in his role and Lee Remick was simply stunning [:p].

    Inherit the Wind

    "Then why did God plague us with the capacity to think? Mr. Brady, why do you deny the one thing that sets us above the other animals? What other merit have we? The elephant is larger, the horse stronger and swifter, the butterfly more beautiful, the mosquito more prolific, even the sponge is more durable. Or does a sponge think?"
    It's being willing. I found out early that most men, regardless of cause or need, aren't willing. They blink an eye or draw a breath before they pull the trigger. I won't. ~ J.B. Books

    Markie Post, Total Babe! She did lots of game shows and things like that too. Lots of swimsuit modeling, lovely * hidden away on Night Court, but it came out to play for the photographers elsewhere.

    All great flicks mentioned already. But there was one, I can't for the life of me remember the title??? Maybe some one here knows it???? Was on BBC about 20 to 25 years ago. About a newspaper reporter that covered WW2 and he was suing for Libel and slander...he was called a coward. He had a big burly Canadian Col. for his witness. He told about the terrible loses the Canadians took on the beaches and how the reporter help carry the wounded and dead back to the ships. anybody know it's title??

    No question the answer is "Judgement at Nuremburg".

    Hands down, nothing else comes close.
