My Favorite Law Movie/Show Is:

Sprinkles

The title speaks for itself! Besides the typical movies such as The Paper Chase and To Kill A Mocking Bird, my favorite movie that has a law vibe to it is My Cousin Vinny. Not the typical movie to give you that lawyer feeling but it's funny and thought provoking at the same time. Now post yours

annannann

Legally Blonde, hands down

But she got a 179 after two weeks of studying!!!! @"Ann California"

Wow, two for Suits. I've seen an episode or two of The Good Wife and enjoyed it.

I second My Cousin Vinny. Really liked Joe Pesci's performance, and the judge's voice in the movie conveyed such gravitas. I've also heard that it's fairly accurate and is sometimes used as a teaching aid.

Too funny that Herman Munster of the old tv show the Munsters would elevate his law status:P And he was awesome in that role, My Cousin VInny fave comedic law movie...

No one said Paper Chase? Y'all are missing out!

stepharizona

I can say Game of Thrones because @"J.Y. Ping" showed how to look for logical arguments...

Seriousbird

@stepharizona I was also going to say Game of Thrones!! That show is so addicting, I'm holding off of GOT and Suits until post September LSAT though..

MrSamIam

Suits, and from the few scenes I've seen from My Cousin Vinny, I'm sure it too would make the list.

I just did another binge watch from Monday to right before Nicoles office hours and watched them all 1-6 again. Ha did sections in between with review... but there were a few things driving me nuts so I had to see again. Now I am purged of GOT and there isnt any TV on that I like so I am good.

I also like to watch Elementary during my breaks as Sherlock is all logic. But I need to start working out again, so the new rule is TV is on, only when I am on the treadmill.

I don't understand how people binge watch tv shows lol. I've tried before and had to stop by episode 2. Awks.

Can't go wrong with a movie starring Joe Pesci!

Seriousbird

@stepharizona

Ahh I'm sooo jealous of you!! I'm at the beginning of GOT season 5, and the end of season 5 Suits.. Suits is about to resume so all the little clips on instagram have been driving me crazy, but I'm completely purging myself so I don't get tempted.. I figure I've held out for 2-3 months already, another few months won't hurt..

I like to work out too! I haven't worked out in 2-3 weeks, but I am going to start tomorrow hopefully. It really motivates me, gets my day going, helps me be productive, AND it's supposed to be great for the brain

stepharizona

You just sit and do nothing @montahar its pretty easy haha... Or walk on a treadmill and just watch and listen. If im not totally invested ill work on my computer concurrently.

When Id have 80 hour work weeks it was easy to just zone out and watch an entire season. Over a weekday/end.

I dont get how people can play video game for hours... But a lot of people do.

Im the same way with a book, once I start, Ill read the entire thing in one sitting and if its a series Ill read all of the books in a weekend. So usually I wont start a book series until theyve all been published.

Ive become better of not binging, but something was bothering me on GOT so I decided to get it out of my brain before I went back into full time studying after this weekend.

Quirky... I know...

LARamsNation

Wow... not ONE mention of The Good Wife? 5 Different actors from that show received Emmys for their performances. One of the best drama's on television period. Redefined the procedural format by adding a super captivating storyline . Much more interesting cases than any of the other law driven series on tv. Though I will say The Wire is right up there with Mad Men as the greatest shows of all time.

mes08

Damages, The Wire, Better Call Saul, The Thine Blue Line, The Jinx, and Making a Murderer. I'm about to watch the movie Presumed Innocent, but Idk if it's any good.

Sprinkles

@LARamsNation you spoke too soon haha. Scroll up, I mentioned The Good Wife as a show I enjoyed. Looking forward to watching more of it

Accounts Playable

A few good men is a great movie, too. In cold blood is also a fantastic book and film.

For documentaries, Making a Murderer and Paradise Lost are worth checking out.

Nanchito-1-1

My cousin Vinny, and Legally blonde are classics. But, OH man @mes08 I saw Making a Murderer a few weeks ago on netflix. I was yelllling at my tv, yelling! Im still yelling. Def a must see.

Now that Walking Dead is over (which features badass former lawyer Michonne, and Andrea in the earlier seasons) Im just pondering who died last season. Don't even get me started.

I binged watched Game of Thrones a few months ago and my life hasent been the same. But watch it for the logic of course lol. (sike)

If you're into funny logic, I highly recommend Shameless.

wtf I didn't know Michonne was a former Lawyer, I love her.

My husband & I binged watched Damages, I think I'm still slightly traumatized by it. Just kidding (sort of).

Not Ralph Nader

Suits/Better Call Saul
12 Angry men

arjay.ratcliffe

Law Abiding Citizen!! And Suits of course.

aleun62

Completely agree with @LARamsNation. TGW is miles ahead of Suits, no question. Really interesting discussions about technology and such amusing snapshots of other court systems.

LARamsNation

lol @montahar and @aleun62 ... indeed. Suits is a cookie cutter version of TGW. Entertaining, almost has an Entourage feel to it, but TGW takes the legal drama to another level.

Sprinkles

Thanks for participating on this thread everyone. I have new movies and shows to check out now

aaro.nj1

the first episodes of law and order, first time i ever thought being a lawyer would be cool

BruiserWoods

Legally Blonde and SVU. I also enjoy How to Get Away With Murder

Cant Get Right

I mean, obviously MCV wins out in the end, but Boston Legal's alright.

Slim_Jim

Suits, The Good Wife, and the movie Fracture

Alex

Suits is one of my favorite shows! I know big law isn't anything like that, but it is fun to watch and imagine it is

Cant Get Right

I just started Veep. So good!

Alex

@"Cant Get Right" I didn't know that show was legal at all? I see it on HBOGo all the time and never considered it. I might have to check it out!
Edit: Nevermind, it turns out it is right up my alley. It has politics, law, and good actors!

TheDeterminedC

SUITS all the way. I am super upset I've been behind on the current season because of school, but I guess priorities are important(:

DumbHollywoodActor

“The Night of” is amazing. Suits is hit or miss, although I do love Louis. But seriously, everyone should be watching “The Night of”. Gripping.
