Okay, here are my picks for the top ten legal movies of all time.  Or, at least, my ten favorite:

1.  A Civil Action - A story of sneaky legal manuevers, colossal egos, uncaring corporations, and how a big time personal injury case wrecks a small law firm.  Excellent.
2.  Witness For The Prosecution - Charles Laughton is unforgettable as the crusty yet brilliant english jurist.  A great surprise ending.
3.  To Kill A Mockingbird - Atticus Finch.  What more can I say? 
4.  My Cousin Vinny - Allright, it ain't Shakespeare.  But this is my list.  
5.  And Justice For All - If you think the legal system is about justice, watch this movie. Yikes.  
6.  Anatomy Of A Murder - James Stewart is brilliant - as usual - as defense counsel in a murder case. Clients like this will make you want to go back to working at the quarry. 
7.  Twelve Angry Men - A jury deliberates the fate of a young Puerto Rican.  A compelling examination of prejudices, preconceptions, and peer pressure.  And that's a lot of p's.
8.  Judgement at Nuremberg - An all-star cast portrayal of the Nazi war crimes trial that still leaves us wondering, "How could this have happened?"  
9.  The Verdict - Paul Newman as the down-and-out attorney with one last shot at redemption.  His best role.  Except maybe Butch Cassidy, Cool Hand Luke, Henry Gondorf..... 
10. Kramer v. Kramer - Divorce case nightmare with a somewhat dated legal outcome - or at least I hope so.
