Showdown

See You in Court

Best courtroom-drama films

Add a list or tag with showdown:courtroom

Gavels, robes, power suits, wigs, impassioned speeches, technicalities. This week we’d like your favorite fictional films featuring at least one pivotal courtroom scene. We’ll allow depositions too, such as those depicted in The Social Network. No judgment! We can handle the truth.
