Genre Discussion: Legal Thrillers/Courtroom Dramas

[B_Metal]

I vote to include it for the following reasons: it passed a real lawyer's seal of approval for veracity, and it displays a case that would be viable in a legit thriller.

I'm ok with that but in all honesty, it IS a comedy so Lisa has a point there. Now not liking it? Totally invalid.

Geez, what I started. No giving Lisa grief, please, as I was the one who posited adding My Cousin Vinny, a comedy, in a thread about Legal Thrillers and Dramas.

As for her distaste re: My Cousin Vinny, hey, it's an opinion, which she is entitled to under Section 1A, paragraph 2 of the BDR Penal Code. The one before Amazon.com Link Purchase Procedures.

Lisa, if you don't think it's dramatic then think about being locked up in a small town Alabama prison for a week. I think their terror for being NY city boys in the small town south was legit.

Tim said Penal. Lulz

Lisa, if you don't think it's dramatic then think about being locked up in a small town Alabama prison for a week. I think their terror for being NY city boys in the small town south was legit.

But it wasn't presented as a drama - it was a comedy. Therefore, it doesn't belong in this thread.

Also, I hate that movie.

[B_Metal]

It belongs...

[Lisa]

Nuh-uh, I said so!

[B_Metal]

Nuh-uh, I said so!

[PHEDG]

Inherit the Wind!

[Lisa]

Inherit the Wind!

OMG, YES!!!

[Matt]

didn't I mention that one already? If not, then it was an oversight.

[Lisa]

You may have - it's just that there's so many great courtroom DRAMAS ( ) that it's hard to keep track!
