I’m so glad To Kill a Mockingbird was listed as number 1. Atticus Finch has done more good for the legal profession’s reputation than most real people.

How could you not fit Rainmaker into that list??

Where are the comedies? Intolerable Cruelty is pure genius. Let the record show that the Baron has identified Rex Rexroth as the silly man.

Point well-taken Art. I think we could dedicate an entirely new list to Lawyer Comedies…

Any other nominations?

I guess I never really considered 12 Angry Men a “lawyer-movie”…even though it has been a couple of years, I can’t remember any lawyer involvement at all.

Primal Fear is one of my all-time favorites and underrated in general.

How about Devil’s Advocate ? Al Pacino really has what a movie needs to be great !
