Any movie buff knows there is nothing like courtroom drama. Some of the best scenes in any movie take place in the courtroom. I was browsing through the movie channels and, luckily for me, there were so many choices to choose from. The one thing I noticed was that all the great movies that were on had an amazing court room scene. Here's what I came up with as the top 5 courtroom scenes in the movies:
5. Chicago. Richard Gere. Enough said. This is one of the only musical courtroom scenes I can think of but the scene was great. It was funny, entertaining, and (as courtroom scenes normally are) shocking!
4. Legally Blonde. Let's hear it for the blondes! The dumb girls finally prevail in this climactic scene where Reese Witherspoon solves the murder circulating the film. Who says that knowing the science of a perm is useless?
3. Big Daddy. What can I say... I laughed, I cried, and I almost called my dad when it was all over. This scene is epic/hilarious. You start out by laughing at the ridiculousness. You somehow become touched and all warm and fuzzy inside. Then you're hysterical crying because Adam Sandler can't have his kid. This is a good one.
2. Liar Liar. The truth will set you freeeeeeee!!! At least it did for Jim Carrey. What happens when a lawyer can't lie? Apparently, hilarity ensues. Yes, there are people in law school who are only there because of this movie.
1. My Cousin Vinny. Anyone who argues that this is not the best courtroom scene of all time is crazy. In fact, I think this is my favorite movie of all time. The whole film including the incredible courtroom scene with Marisa Tomei was a dream. If you haven't seen this film, SEE IT!

If adding an extra hour in the day will give me time to blog... then so be it.
Okay so David and I were watching A Few Good Men last night. His favorite scene is when they are in the court room and Tom is questioning Jack Nicholson. Jack Nicholson- "You can't handle the truth". David just love this. I am not sure what it is about this scene, but David says its the best part. I loved all the movies that you talked about, very good picks!
ReplyDeleteHey there, I happen to love all the movies that you wrote about. Last night David and I were watching A Few Good Men and his favorite part is when Tom Cruise is questioning Jack Nicholson in the court room. Jack Nicholson gets angry and fustrated and tells Tom Cruise "you can't handle the truth". There is something so powerful about this scene.
ReplyDeleteEveryone keeps saying I should have included A Few Good Men! I haven't seen it- I will have to see it and likely add it to the list.
