[@geraldmcboingboing7401]

My favorite courtroom drama is Witness for the Prosecution (1957), which was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Film Editing and Best Sound Recording. It was based on a short story by Agatha Christie.

[@williambryan3346]

The movies that Jonathan Lynn directed have the movie’s title in dialogue somewhere in the film. Clue, My Cousin Vinny, The Distinguished Gentleman, Greedy, Sgt. Bilko, Trial and Error, The Whole Nine Yards, etc.

[@mikeshoe74]

Congratulations to the only reaction channel I have ever seen recognize the Judge as Herman Munster....and there wasn't any bad person in this film. Everyone was just doing there jobs....and really who wouldn't think these kids were guilty until they found the 2 kids who really did it. Even if Pesci got them off, most people would think they 'got away with murder'.

[@travistaylor2980]

The joke about him sleeping soundly in prison during the riot is that the sounds are very city like, and he's used to it.

That’s hilarious

[@danielz1666]

I dont think he expected there to be a riot in prison though

[@rigpa10]

i live in nyc it always quiet at night - in the summer you can hear the crickets and during the day you hear the birds - you people only know nyc through movies - it is nothing like you think is - manhattan is only one borough in nyc - most people do not live there

[@rigpa10]

i live in nyc vinny comes from brooklyn which is one of the five boroughs in nyc it is quiet at night you can hear crickets and during the day you can hear birds - you have no idea what you are talking about

[@TheMitchellExpress]

@@rigpa10 Well it's implied hes from a tough neighborhood and people still remembered the NYC of the 70s and 80s when this movie came out. And its also a joke in a movie playing off a stereotype

[@doctorj6030]

I am Itlian American ftom NYC area talk like Vinny, saw this in the movies when first came out & loved it. Finally people in the screen who talked like me.

[@melenatorr]

One of the nice things about this movie is that no one that we meet in the courtroom drama is a villain: they're all doing their jobs. We're prepared for that in the whole hunting section: the little conversation between Lane and Pesci is open and sympathetic; Lane is a dedicated prosecutor determined to win his case, but that's why he's paid, and he explains his perspective in that scene. The judge warns Vinny in his first scene that he's an impatient man when it comes to procedure; and his instincts about Vinny's level of expertise and his honesty with the judge are correct. When Lisa, at first, doesn't answer Lane's question, the judge doesn't throw her out of the witness box: he takes the time to clarify what the problem is and allows her time to explain. The witnesses all honestly believe what they think they've seen. I like that.

[@chadbennett7873]

Excellent statement - everybody is trying to do the right thing, and it's one of the few movies where there is no bad guy shown. This film is often used in law school to teach procedure. It is an amazing performance by everybody involved. Marisa is perfect, absolutely deserving of the Oscar, and Joe is incredible ... my favorite role for him. I've loved Fred Gwynne since his Car 54 days. A lot of people don't know that he wrote children's books and I recently bought a set of them ... such a wonderful and gracious person. Herman type cast him to a certain point, and he ended up feeling captured in that character, but Herman just might be my favorite television character of all-time, right there with Barney Fife and Ted Lasso.

[@melenatorr]

@@chadbennett7873 I also loved Herman Munster! In our family it was a dead heat between the Munsters and the Addams Family. The Addamses won out just slightly because our father was from Spain and, well, Gomez. A lot of wonderful actors ended up trapped in the public perception of their popular tv roles during the 60s and 70s - it's one of the reasons Leonard Nimoy resented Spock for so many years: he simply could no longer work as an actor of the range he knew he had. Yes, Gwynne wrote some lovely children's books like "The King Who Rained" - he seemed to have been a very charming man. (John Lithgow is also an actor/author).

[@barowt]

The sheriff was the villain to me, not listening to the boy and him questioning the I shot the clerk part.

[@wds1127]

@@chadbennett7873 yeah the bloodthirsty lawyer trying to get two youts electrecuted is a real swell guy lol

[@melenatorr]

@@barowt Maybe not even there: there's a running undercurrent in the movie of people not understanding the conversation being held, and that might apply here: the sheriff, under pressure and probably grieving the death of someone in a very small community, hears what he hears and runs with it. The circumstances and the witnesses all confirm what he has understood. But when it comes to it, after an initial resistance, he agrees to run down Vinny's hunch, just requesting to know why.

[@Jordashian93]

The film has been praised by lawyers as one of the more realistic movies about the justice system and the lawyer profession, and certainly one of the most successful ones at drawing humor from a courtroom setting

[@kvoltti]

It was so accurate that when it was released there was only one major procedural error, at least until there was a change in the system and now it’s not an error.

[@retiredbc5032]

It is still shown today, in many Universities, for new law students to watch as it is the most accurate portrayal on a courtroom proceeding . It is also noted in may law books too!

[@kerbyblanchard9832]

It also is a really good example of what it’s like in a hostile venue with a hostile judge who just doesn’t like you. Cause that happens in courts as well

[@Dylan_Platt]

Yep! Legal Eagle has a pair of fantastic videos about it -- one analyzing it from a lawyer's perspective, and one where he interviews the writer -- including details about what would have happened in the ill-fated sequel that never got past pre-production!

[@abeartheycallFozzy]

Have to take away some realism points though. He was sleeping next to a pig stockyard and didnt know it? Believe me, you can smell that for a mile radius.

[@joeblankenship377]

One of the most satisfying movie endings ever. It used to come on TV all the time in the 90s, and it was like Back to the Future, if you were flipping through and saw it on, you had to sit and watch it all the way to the end. Easily in my all time top 10.

[@RamblingRose08]

When I was a kid I fell in love with Marisa Tomei when I saw her and Robert Downey Jr. in Only You (1994). After that I rented all of her movies. This is one of my favorites. Thank you so much for a wonderful reaction!

[@bidwell13]

Marisa was so good in this film, I think she won an Oscar for this role.

[@LatetotheParty]

She did.

[@amazinggrace5692]

Her dress and hair were so spectacular and elegant that night.

[@OmegaSoypreme]

I absolutely love that no one is really a villain in this movie. Well the murderers I guess. Sure, the judge is a hard ass. But the prosecutor isn't malicious. He's just doing his job. The witnesses weren't lying. They were just certain about what they saw. It demonstrates the great shortcoming of eye witness testimonies. When the truth comes out they all accept it gladly. I see now I'm not the only one to share this sentiment 😅

[@LatetotheParty]

It's one of the best parts about this movie. Everyone is good natured. Even the "antagonists".

[@Dylan_Platt]

Oh my GOD, I grew up watching this and Animal House and I never until tonight made the connection that the Sheriff is the same actor as D-Day. Absurd. Great reaction y'all!

[@jkhoover]

I'm old. I first saw Marisa Tomie in the TV show A Different World, the Cosby Show spinoff. She stood out in that show even then.

24:41 - *_Well that was a very Costanza-esque performance from Joe Pesci right there! 😂 (Maybe that is why George loves Marisa Tomei in this movie: He sees himself as Vinny, hitched up to her! 🤣)_* 35:01 - *_t's not just that it is his court room or that he dislikes Vinny: Trotter was right when he told Vinny that new evidence, if it is discovered during the trial, maybe be presented as a surprise (Vinny himself later does this with the pictures of the tire marks). The only thing that the judge could have been more flexible with is that when, after the testimony, Vinny asks for time to review this new evidence, most judges probably would have agreed to adjourn for the day and let the defense work on it overnight to the next day (But then again, the judge gets that note about Vinny possibly not being the lawyer he pretended to be... So it get nebulous as whether or nor he is being a d*ck or just stickler for rules; I personally always thought the judge in this movie it just a really conservative and proud judge who runs a tight show -Sure, Vinny rubs him the wrong way & so he doesn't cut him any slack, but I don't think he would have been much more lenient with any other out-of-town lawyer. And as we see later, bith the judge and Trotter aren't resentful to Vinny: They operated under the conviction that they were rightfully perusing justice for the man who got shot and thought the evidence showed they had the right guys; which is why they are all happy in the end, because justice triumphed and two innocent boys were freed!)_* *_Fun fact: The Legal Eagle, a lawyer/KZbinr, made a great analysis of My Cousin Vinny's court room proceedings and declare that all of the procedures were in fact in line with true court room procedures and therefore a pretty accurate depiction of said proceedings (And apparently, some law professor show the movie to their students as a study of both what to do and what NOT to do!)_*

[@TheMerryPup]

My niece graduated law school a few years ago and, like others here have mentioned, the used scenes from My Cousin Vinny to show good court procedure. Note: _One_ time was the charm for her! ;-)

[@thegreyinitiate3680]

In terms of flash and style, A Few Good Men and The Social Network are two of my favorite courtroom dramas (even the Social Network is more of just a deposition). A lot of it has to do with Sorkin’s dialogue. But I think my favorite of all time is To Kill a Mockingbird with Gregory Peck. His closing argument is one of the best performances I have ever seen. Almost 7 minutes, and he only needed to do it once. He nailed it on the first try. Absolutely incredible.

[@somehighlights2851]

One thing most people don't get about the ending: Vinny didn't NEED Mona Lisa's testimony. He drags her back to make her feel useful and respected. He could have asked the questions (in a different way, of course) to the expert.

[@sallyatticum]

Well, people like to say that the procedure is realistic, but a real criminal defense attorney knows better.... In that instance, the expert could not have authenticated the photo and it would not have been admissible as evidence. Only Lisa could have done that (and Vinnie didn't have her do that and the prosecutor didn't object)

[@somehighlights2851]

​@@sallyatticumsallyatticum You forget that the government already had a similar photo as evidence. He only had to ask the questions about if the car was able to make those marks. And the answer would have to be "nope".

[@sallyatticum]

@@somehighlights2851 Except Vinnie offered that photo in evidence. I don't recall a different photo, but, also, he knew nothing about this expert. He didn't know how he would testify. The judge should have sustained Vinnie's objection.

[@mdroid7755]

​@@sallyatticumThere would have been other photos of the tire marks taken as evidence presented. Since the photo apparently showed them from a drastically different angle, Vinny asked Mr. Trotter if they could agree it was a photo of the same marks, which he did. It was only then entered as evidence, supplemental to what had already been seen and admissable. Mr. Trotter had already told Vinny he thought he had the case sewn up so he didn't realize how Vinny could get anything from the one photo and saw/had no reason to object.

[@BillyButcher90]

Alternatively, if Lisa refused to testify or was disallowed as an expert witness: given that Vinny is an experienced auto mechanic himself, the rules of court would have allowed himself to take the stand as an expert witness, since he had no way of knowing that his own general knowledge of American automobiles would be relevant to the case.

[@Knightowl1980]

It’s a well constructed and well done film and it’s not cynical. There isn’t a character you don’t like including the antagonists. And I love that Tomei won an Oscar for this, now she won over basically a 4 way split vote but comedic roles are undervalued at the Oscar’s so I appreciate she won for one. The courtroom shots are fantastic, courtroom films are often so static but this brought a kinetic energy to it that I don’t think other films haven’t followed.

This is the most realistic court movie made. So much many law schools show it to their students.

Now about how many looked I began the movie when he entered the courtroom with his leather jacket tucked-in shirt and all that stuff, Not only in his eyes would it be a mockery of the court for him to show up like that but that's actually how all courts work across the United States and every other country. If you are not dressed as a typical lawyer does treatment that you saw in this film that the judge gave to Vinny would be the same treatment as one else would get, with the court system if you are a lawyer you have to look the part. So with the judge not liking Vinny from most of this movie that's all Vinny's doing.

For a courtroom drama with a difference I recommend A Matter of Life and Death. Go into it blind if you can as even the premise will be a cool surprise when you grok what it is :)

James Rebhorn was also in "Scent of a Woman".

The prison was noisier than the train and the pigs and the owl. But the noise was from yelling and alarms -- the same kind of noise you'd hear on a Brooklyn street at night. It was the sounds of home for Vinny, and he found it comforting.

You guys are very good and know your stuff, great reaction and very informative

[@LatetotheParty]

Much appreciated!

I'm also surprised that no one got the "666" joke of him practicing for 6 weeks, been out of school for 6 years, and it took him 6 times to pass the bar!

The prosecutor is also in Eddie Murphy's underappreciated gem, "The Distinguished Gentleman."

Herman Munster?!? Wow! You are either VERY well preserved and Much younger than you look, or this video is from some time in the 90's. You are the FIRST person, in at least 30 reactions of this film, to seem to recognize Fred Gwynne. Congratulations! There is obviously a very interesting backstory here. This is my first time encountering you, but I have already decided to subscribe, and to watch, at least long enough to find out how much more cultural esoterica you know, and HOW.🙂

[@LatetotheParty]

I grew up with a black and white tv that we had to use a wrench to change the channels. Gilligan's Island, The Munsters, Mr Ed, The Three Stooges, and Shirley Temple were staples in our household. They were re-runs of course, but still staples. - Robert 💙 Happy to have you here, and we're looking forward to watching more movies with you! - Vanessa 💜

[@Boomerbox2024]

😂Yes! I had one too. I thought vise-grips and a wire hanger wrapped in aluminum foil were standard equipment.🤣 The "Good" thing is, you got to see your re-runs in the most authentic way possible, the way most of us saw the original broadcasts. I really like reaction videos, and have watched a ton of them. If it would not be improper for me to do so, I would like to make a couple of general suggestions. First, I never watch a reaction to a movie I haven't already seen, and enjoyed, which will probably be true for most of your audience, therefore it is not necessary to recap the story, scene by scene, at the end of your reaction. I would rather hear about how you FELT about your favorite scenes, what impressed you about the acting, writing, directing or cinematography, etc. Of course, your audience will have suggestions, and it will be very helpful to create a list of the movies you've already seen, and a list of movies you've already reacted to. it may seem like an unnecessary bother now, but 100 videos from now you'll wish you had, and by then it will then be too much of a hassle to do it. Lastly, you will want to watch all of the blockbuster films that all the other reactors have already done, because those films are guaranteed to be popular with your audience, but please keep in mind that there is A TON OF OTHER MOVIEs, and the people passionate enough to subscribe, and become patrons, are the true movie LOVERS who are eager to guide you to the lesser-known gems that we so treasure. Oh, and if you give advance notice of the films you intend to react to well in advance it will give your fans time to advise you on the best way to watch. For example, the movie "Airplane" is extremely funny, but it is a parody of the movie "Zero Hour" and it would be 100 times funnier if you had seen it. By reacting to the original, and then the spoof, you not only get two reaction videos, but you get to offer your fans an opportunity to "get" more of the jokes, (thanks to you! ) You guys are really charming, and I look forward to many enjoyable reactions from you. Much success to you both!

[@Boomerbox2024]

With your background, you will also enjoy "12 Angry Men" in a way none of the other reactors have done yet, as you will recognize almost all of the cast members. And you might even recognize a fair number of celebrities in "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad World", (though you MAY want to wait a few years 'till you can spot them all.😉)

[@LatetotheParty]

@@Boomerbox2024 It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World is one of our favorite films of all time.
