Sidney Lumet…darn spell check!

Marc Peterson

1982 The Verdict with Paul Newman as his best as an aging, down on his luck attorney. Nominated for 5 Academy awards and #4 on AFI’s top courtroom dramas. Brilliant David Mamet screenplay and directed by Sidney Lundy. Costars Jack Warden and Charlotte Rampling. Cassie will love this.

Björn Karlsson

Yeah you guessed like 4 votes a couple weeks ago 😃

Mike Lemon

Woohoo, not last! And 10x the votes I thought Indictment: The McMartin Trial (1995) would get. The momentum is building.

Bill W

...and a great song!!

bgb1975 (Brian)

Not new. 1979. Just a really good Al Pacino courtroom movie which is missing from the lineup.

Chris Thom

That's a newer movie?

Chris Thom

I did a paper on that case in college.

Chris Thom

Oh I love that movie. Some of the best performances I've ever seen.

djKENTO

Shame The Hurricane is doing so poorly. such an important case.

Clay F

Excellent movie. Yes, has Woody Harrelson.

Nicholas Coy

I voted for Inhert the Wind but can not believe how poorly The Hurricane is doing. That is a really good movie.

Jacob Wagner

I think Woody's performance makes an unlikeable person likeable

Mike Lemon

Great recommendation. Such an important case, but I wonder if Cassie could get past the person?

Jacob Wagner

The People Vs Larry Flynt

Ben Schwartz

I'll have to check it out!

Bill W

bknsty- all Shandor's reactions are really short. His Dances with Wolves is only 35 minutes.

bknsty14

Found it. Thanks. Only issue with it is it’s too short. I’m starting to get to a point where I want reactions to be about 45 minutes.

William Burnham

Indeed , thanks for reminding me 😊😊😊

Cole Jennett

It was actually the top vote getter on her first ever Courtroom poll

Cole Jennett

I totally agree!

bgb1975 (Brian)

Honorable Judge Cassie, members of the jury, if it please the court, I'd like to introduce "And Justice For All" to the proceedings....

Mark James

Reality is The Judge won't win, but of all these movies, this one, from what I've seen of your choices, could end up being your favorite. I think it could be. It's a family coming of age movie.

Clay F

Presumed Innocent (1990) is in Courtroom Poll A. See immediately below. Currently, not doing very well.

Clay F

Easy/quick (less than 30 seconds) to check whether she has seen a movie by searching at www.popcornrequests.com

Sean Kay

I Love that unique POV in your explaination but you also need to pass that blunt and quit hogging it

Clarence Newman

She has, Ben. One of her best reactions. Just her response to that great line is worth the watch.

Sean Kay

And note sorkin wwrote the story for the play, not the play itself and then was adapted from...reiner had many motivations to keep his name large on this, not only legal requirements, but also the name "Sorkin" attached carries weight always, no matter how much bugger suger he admitted to using at the time....he will be forever a force

Sean Kay

And yes I know he passed the story on but you gotta give reiner credit...(Sorkin is top 3 writer to look up to and def on my rushmore)

Sean Kay

You are allowed to check her collection list...but yes, her reaction to that film is very fun to watch...and it is not directed by Sorkin my friend. Rob Riener owns that one....

Mike Lemon

Come on lurkers, Indictment: The McMartin Trial (1995) is only 240 votes from winning this poll. With your vote this great movie could move on and possibly be seen by the masses. "If not for me, do it for your country." (Name that quote. Hint- Carlos)

Mark Vaderr

"Amistad" should've been in one of these polls.

Javier Hernandez

Maybe if we tell her that after production Chris Evans and Jenny Slate dated for a while....? You know how she loves a real life couple. It's a great flick that hits all the feels.

Ben Schwartz

I'm just going to assume that you've already seen 'A Few Good Men' -- because if you haven't, that needs to be on this poll. Fantastic movie, one of the best court dramas of all time. Starring Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson ("You can't HANDLE the truth!!!"), Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Kevin Pollack, Kiefer Sutherland... directed by Aaron Sorkin. But you've probably seen it, I'm just too lazy to check the list.

Chris Thom

Bold film for 1960.

Darreld Studie

Inherit the Wind was taken almost entirely from the actual trial transcript of the Scopes Monkey Trial. The State of Tennessee v. John Thomas Scopes 1925. The lawyers were William Jennings Bryan and Clarence Darrow. Two very famous lawyers of the time with two of the greatest actors portraying them. Spencer Tracy as Henry Drummond (Clarence Darrow) and Fredrick March as Matthew Harrison Brady (William Jennings Bryan). Scopes was convicted and fined 100 dollars, but it was overturned on appeal on a technicality. But the banter between Darrow and Bryan is fantastic. It's one of the greatest movies ever made.

Milton William Burray

Shandor at the Cinema has reacted to it and it's very good

Bill W

At least there's 1 reaction to In the Name of the Father (on the other poll) by Dawn Marie.

Bill W

👍👍👍

bknsty14

I’ve looked and never found a reaction. It’s just a great movie.

Bill W

100%

Bill W

I hate to use the "U" word, but it is very much so! 😀

Bill W

Please let it be Sleepers! Fantastic film. Great ensemble cast and I don't think anyone has ever reacted to it.

Jim K

Hard to choose between rainmaker and rules of engagement.

Ian Bailey

Inherit the Wind is a Fantastic movie.

Rick Rodriguez

You're right. Right there on MAX.

Cole Jennett

I liked the Lincoln Lawyer but, for me anyways, it’s not in the same class as Sleepers or The Hurricane. Absolutely fine with The Rainmaker leading though.

Clarence Newman

I guess I could watch the scene with Farrah Fawcett in the bar 100 times. In fact I have. In fact I have been known to pause it.

Shreddy

I voted it too. It has some very dark themes. But best movie on the list. The ending scene is touching, and the line about "one song". But often with these polls, the most famous names will win (often also emphasis on more recent films), not the highest quality movie. I already knew which would be the 2 leading movies, without checking results. IMO The Rainmaker isn't that exciting Grisham filmatisation, even if it was a breakout role for Matt Damon, that's pretty much all it has to offer. "The Firm" was better (also based on a Grisham book)

Sean Kay

I KNOWWW RIGHT! THANK-YOU! I've been thinking about putting it in as my monthly but I know it is selfish to request Cassie AND Carly to watch it together

Matthew Folz

Sleepers is something that might be a hard watch for Cassie, but gets my vote because it is a great cast and the best movie on the list.

Happy Hanukkah

I am absolutely flabbergasted that Presumed Innocent wasn't included! Perhaps Clay can provide me with an explanation. :-P

Happy Hanukkah

The power of solidarity compels me!

Steve Mercier

Lot of good ones on here...voting for The Rainmaker because I think you'll like it the most (and I think it's pretty good, too).

Mike Lemon

What are you talking about? I'll have to watch it hundreds of times just to get the YouTube views up.

Mike Lemon

There's at least four full uploads on YouTube and it is probably on Max and Amazon.

Jacob King

Sleepers!!! For people who haven’t seen it imagine if Shawshank Redemption, Stand By me, A Few Good Men, The Departed and Good Will Hunting were all blended together into The Count of Monte Cristo. And Robert DeNiro plays basketball.

Clarence Newman

Keep your powder dry, Mike. If McMartin wins the poll, you'll have to watch it again again. I love Cannonball Run, but I couldn't watch it twice in two weeks.

JoshArg

I voted The Rainmaker, such a wonderful cast and acted movie, I think Cassie would LOVE that movie.

Mike Lemon

Only if they go full English, with the wigs and everything.

Mike Lemon

I just watched it again a few days ago. So good.

Mike Lemon

It's only 190 behind at the moment. All I need is a Chinese hacker or two to push it over the top. Seriously though, it is doing much better than I thought it would.

Rick Rodriguez

I've never seen so I am curious. Heard about it for years.

Mike Lemon

...Indictment. The real gem in the poll.

Annie519

I completely second Gifted! It's so underrated and such a great movie! And I know Cassie would love it.

Mike Lemon

Murder in the First is very loosely based on a true story. Henri Young was a real guy but that is about the extent of the true story. That said, I think it is a good movie and is Kevin Bacon's best performance.

diego kontarovsky

sleepers is harrowing but brilliant

🚩

I voted for the McMartin trial as well

Alex Laime

The Rainmaker is so good IMO, and The Lincoln Lawyer is a lot of fun.

Alex Villarreal

Cassie would cry with The Hurricane, and she would love some of the Canadian characters. Hope she reacts to it one day.

Chris Thom

Yeah that was a reply for Cassie. So much talk about what is appropriate for her to watch it just seemed easier to get some input from her.

bknsty14

Is this for me or for Cassie? I’ve seen JFK a lot of times and watched tons of documentaries over the years. I 100% believe that there was a conspiracy surrounding his assassination. What happened? I don’t know. But that head shot was a frontal entry wound. The autopsy was botched. His brain went missing. And witnesses did in fact die in mysterious ways.

bknsty14

I know. I was making a joke about the number of times Clay has responded in the comments about Presumed Innocent being in the other poll. It’s like every fifth comment. Thanks for responding though. (Subliminal message…watch Sleepers)

Chris Thom

Cassie, there's a lot of debate about JFK at the moment. Do you have any interest in the assassination? Even if it presents some theories that turned out to not be true, or probably not true?

Cassie

Its in Courtroom Poll A! There are two polls, and the top 2 picks from each will go to a final poll!

JarHead0351

Inherit the Wind (1960) is such a great movie and should be seen

Mac61

Cassie should watch “Class Action” (1991), a Gene Hackman and Courtroom movie all rolled into one. Its storyline is based on the Ford Pinto legal case, the lawsuit of Grimshaw V Ford Motor Company. Cassie likes movies based on true stories.

bknsty14

Hey, Clay F., I was wondering why Presumed Innocent isn’t in this poll… Any insight?

bknsty14

Also, it’s in her poll

bknsty14

Murder in the First is one of the most underrated movies. Nobody ever remembers that movie.

bknsty14

That’s a great movie. I voted for Sleepers, but Rules of Engagement would’ve been my second choice.

Uncle Phoenix

Saw it; but I don’t think it is in the cards, because “Presumed Innocent” (1990) isn’t on Apple, Hulu, or Netflix.

Clay F

As you may have noticed, Presumed Innocent (1990) is in Courtroom Poll A. See immediately below. Currently in next to last place.

LDC7080

Prefer Lincoln lawyer the series. Can’t get to grips with McConaughey in serious roles

Tom Castro

A great courtroom drama is "Presumed Innocent" starring Harrison Ford as a Prosecutor accused of murdering a fellow prosecutor that he had a affair with. Very good with great cast and twists.

Thomas Williamson

Inherit the wind is amazing.

Clay F

She did include it. Presumed Innocent (1990) is in Courtroom Poll A. See immediately below. Currently in next to last place.

SpankTheMonk

Inherit the Wind my moms favorite movie 🍿

Tim Foppiano

Rules of engagement did not have the viewing of some of the others listed here, but was powerfully some of best issues faced by military personnel across the board. Powerful acting by both Samuel Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones. A must watch, given the times we were about to face as a nation just a few years later. Not a pro war, but a cost of war. As it always is. Something we are all supposed to remember!

Milton William Burray

It's the same ball park but I'm sure falls on the right side of the line

Sean Kay

It is not one that crosses the "true story" part of this particular list I generaed, but it is actually still on the list, like "Gifted" and "Roman j Israel Esquire" but I didn't name them all... You are absolutely right "The Verdict" "Michael Clayton" "Rainmaker" are a few that also do make the cut I was posting to reach higher than "Rainmaker"

Joe

Top 2 from both A & B polls will be decided in 24 hours, maybe already are.

Javier Hernandez

I would add Michael Clayton, a fictitious version of Dark Waters.

Björn Karlsson

OK, If you are a swede, check this out. "Indictment: The McMartin trial" is known as "Åtalad' in Sweden.

Uncle Phoenix

That being said, I would have thought that Cassie would have included Harrison Ford’s courtroom drama, “Presumed Innocent” (1990).

silverarrow06

I would love to see "The Rainmaker", but man "The Lincoln Lawyer" is really good, too...🤩

Uncle Phoenix

I love that Cassie will sometimes watch the runner ups.

Sean Kay

So I have written a program and without getting to nerdy, I would like to say respectfully, tracking your love type for movies and why, and for movies you have watched too, I believe you have left out a couple that track higher on your interests, and ones you should consider; ones that cross the legal type, true story, and love angle too...for instance in the legal, true story, and emotional category crossover: "Chicago 7" "Brian Banks" "On the Basis of Sex" "Worth" "The Report" "Charlie Wilson's War" "The Post" "Ghosts of Mississippi" "Gifted" "Roman j. Israel Esquire" "Dark Waters" "Kill the Messenger" "JFK" "Marshall" "The Conspirator" "Molly's Game" "Bridge of Spies" To name a few... All these will hit you hard- nicely/beautifully- while having what and who you like in a film... Carly too "Rainmaker" is on the list too but I left it and others out... If you watch "Rainmaker" I suggest you watch it with Carly too... Sry for long message

Rob Parry

Thanks for the info

Hutch

Inherit the Wind & The Hurricane are great historical courtroom dramas that are everything that JFK is not.

JAKH

"Murder In The First" (1995) *True Story* "Sergeant Rutledge" (1960)

Clay F

Presumed Innocent (1990) is in Courtroom Poll A. See immediately below. Currently in next to last place.

Rob Parry

If you do another one of these polls again, please add Presumed Innocent with Harrison Ford 1990

Jason Henderson

Sleepers is a very good watch! Very disturbing, Hits home as a parent! Very well acted by all. The story draws you in of a simpler time When life was care free and our youth Seemed endless! Big thumbs up 👍!🍿

Adam Doyle

Its a great movie, but Cassie has mentioned about certain subject matter that she refuses to watch... this might fall into that category.

bknsty14

Really want to see Sleepers win this. I’ve been requesting this for years and putting it in as my poll pick the last couple months.

Richard Maurer

Hmmmm.

MikeLL

Not exactly versions of each other. Matt Damon in his movie is trying to "make it rain" in a different sense than Burt Lancaster was in his classic movie.

Mike Lemon

@Chris- It is the true story of the longest trial in U.S. history. McMartin also really kicked off the "satanic panic" of the 1980s.

Clarence Newman

Only if it was a regular laugh. A George McFly chuckle is entertaining in itself and therefore acceptable.

Milton William Burray

Allegedly

Rick Rodriguez

Once again, some real gems here. Went with Rainmaker, Sleepers, Inherit the Wind, and The Hurricane.

Clarence Newman

She's reacted to Anatomy of a Murder, William. HEAVY agreement on The Verdict.

Above Average Dave

Evergreen, Clay. She never disappoints! George Costanza can confirm 🤣

Rick Rodriguez

I thought Rules of Engagement was decent but it was decades ago I saw it.

Roger Banks

I was gonna vote for The Rainmaker until I saw that it was the 1997 version. The 1956 version with Burt Lancaster would have gotten my vote.

Richard Maurer

Clarence - if you were to laugh at HoD losing you’d be straying into Crocodile Dundee territory - you know what I mean - ;-) ?

Clay F

I think we know that Scream 2 is a safe no reaction.

Richard Maurer

Chris - I was trying to be nice and not mention Scream, so thanks for saying it for me.

Clay F

Marisa Tomei is awesome and beautiful in that.

Chris Retzlaff

To clarify 7 is the only one, and yes to was great 🤣🤣

rtt143

Please please Sleepers True story

William Burnham

Anatomy of a Murder, followed closely by The Verdict are the two best films involving a courtroom setting 😀

Cole Jennett

As is Sleepers

Clay F

I voted for these 6: Sleepers (1996) Indictment: The Mcmartin TriaL (1995) [for Mike] The Rainmaker (1997) The Hurricane (1999) The Lincoln Lawyer (2011) Inherit the Wind (1960) Hoping that Rules of Engagement (2000) doesn't win

Chris Thom

Scream 2 believes in you even if you don't believe in it. It speaks a language of murder...and LOVE.

Chris Thom

I just saw the 7 one but it was pretty great. Aaron Sorkin.

Clarence Newman

To be fair, if HoD was beaten out by Jaws 2, I'd have to do a George McFly chuckle. Then again, if Cannonball Run ever gets on a poll, you know it'll be on there with Thelma and Louise.

Chris Thom

Haven't seen it in a long time but I don't remember much about the courtroom scenes either. Mostly just the beginning when they're kids.

Clarence Newman

If Murder In The First had made the poll too, I'd've thrown a flag.

zynjams

the Rainmaker is such a great movie, STACKED with cameos

Milton William Burray

You get 2 for 1, prison drama & legal drama

jdj830

INHERIT THE WIND is a classic everyone needs to see, and THE RAINMAKER is excellent.

Clarence Newman

The Verdict in the top three, or riot!

Blake Evans

The Rainmaker is such a hidden gem and probably Coppola’s last good film unfortunately. And you can never go wrong with Sam Jackson and Tommy Lee Jones for Rules of Engagement. Even though I didn’t vote for it, special recognition for Sleepers. Such a stacked cast, but very hard watch.

Story Archer

Ah, I really wish I had known you were going to do a courtroom drama poll, because I've got 'From the Hip' ('87) on my list for you... it's a very under-rated 80's courtroom drama-dy starring Judd Nelson with an incredibly chilling performance by the late, great John Hurt (R.I.P.)... highly recommended for anyone looking for an unknown gem of a movie. Another suggestion for this list would be 'Disclosure' ('94), starring Demi Moore and Michael Douglas... technically not a courtroom drama (more of a crime mystery drama), but then many of those listed aren't.

Story Archer

It's a great film - but a courtroom drama?

PatientZero.5

Ah, ok I must've missed that. That's good, hopefully it gets it's time to shine on the channel soon then!

Cole Jennett

Solid reference

Milton William Burray

I watched a Sleepers reaction on Shandor At The Cinema the other day and it absolutely blew him away

MikeLL

Surely (or Shirely) these polls will lead to a Courtroom Movie Theme Week (Order in the CourtBed)? Top three, or riot!!

Chris Thom

I've seen it requested a lot on the PIB YouTube channel.

Matthew Tarpley

I chose The Rainmaker on this one, because, once again, still relevant. Health Insurance companies are even now STILL under the microscope (UnitedHealth anyone?). When your husband, wife, son, daughter, mother ,father, etc. are denied a medical claim, what do you do? Do you just let it go, or do you try to at least try to get a lawyer and fight back? Still very relevant.

Mike Lemon

Andy in Shawshank didn't quit when he got his first box of books, he redoubled his efforts.

Chris Retzlaff

Waiting for 8 to come out....🤣🤣

Chris Thom

Had to vote for it out of sheer respect for the consistency. I have no idea what it's about though.

TJ

I love all of these but I'm pulling for Inherit the Wind and Sleepers.

Richard Maurer

Yeah, I really don’t want to see Horror of Dracula on a general horror poll and watch it get beat by some inferior sequel garbage.

Shehab Dawoud

Or The Trial of The Chicago 7 for that matter too!

Randy Schuh

This is a great courtroom movie. Action, suspense and romance.

Michael G

Inherit the Wind LETS GO!!!!!! Spencer Tracey, a very small supporting roll for Gene Kelly which is a strange thing to see given his leading man status at the time. Based on real life events, with some of the best movies quotes from Tracey.

Chris Thom

That's a good idea.

Chris Retzlaff

Surprised the Trial of the Chicago 6 or 7 isn't on either list. To many great courtroom movies

Randy Schuh

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0094082/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk

Cole Jennett

I’m sure she hoped that putting it on the poll would be enough to do that

Chris Thom

Wouldn't mind seeing Rainmaker again. It's been a while. Always down for another Francis Ford Coppola film on the channel.

Richard Maurer

Don’t want to be a downer Mike but you know what happened to Bjorn with Show Me Love. Don’t get your hopes up too high. I voted for it, by the way.

Dean Holt

Wow got 5 of my suggestion on here (not sure if that’s just luck/a coincidence 😂😂), the downside is Cassie only watching one film. I wouldn’t really mind if she watches the winner from each poll, I’m sure I’m not the only one that would be ok with it.

Mike Lemon

I'll make everbody a deal, if Indictment wins, no comments from me for a month. Here's your chance to shut me up. Choose wisely. (How's that for a bribe?) edit- starting after the reactions.

MikeLL

I did too, just because.

Above Average Dave

THE LINCOLN LAWYER was just a great turn for Matthew McConaughey and a well paced story that keeps the viewer engaged. Cassie and Carly will love.

Eddie Perkins

I wish To Kill a Mockingbird was up here, but I guess she's seen it, So I'm going to have to go with Sleepers. Inherit the Wind and The Rainmaker are also great movies.

PatientZero.5

I feel like I never hear people talk about The Judge, really good movie.

Mike Lemon

It's a miracle! Now I just need a lot of people to accidentally vote for it.

Clarence Newman

You're out of order! I'm out of order! This entire poll is out of order!

My_Cousin_Mose

Holy crap it made the poll! Good luck Mike.

Shehab Dawoud

Bro where is ... And Justice For All? It's maybe Pacino's finest work after Godfather 1 & 2, and is universally recognized as one of the best in the genre. It also hasn't been on courtroom polls in the past. I don't understand that.

Matt Rose

INHERIT THE WIND all the way. Lots of good ones on this list but there's a reason why ITW has its reputation.

MikeLL

Congratulations to Mike Lemon. And my condolences at the same time.

Clarence Newman

Well, that's a huge shout-out to Mike Lemon! I don't think I've heard anyone else pushing for the McMartin Trial but Mike loves it. I think he must've been writer, director, lead actor and best boy. I'm voting for it.

mikethemotormouth

Was hoping to see Murder in the First w Kevin Bacon in either poll. Maybe next time?

MikeLL

I thought this poll would be easier once I saw The Rainmaker. But I love The Lincoln Lawyer also. So voted for both. Sorry, Spencer and Fedric, you will both have to wait!
