I am sure there are a lot of good ones, but I have either not seen (12 Angry Men) or it has been too long to count seeing (To Kill A Mockingbird) some of more known courtroom movies. Just trying to be fair to what I remember. Fracture is in the last spot because I would hardly call it a courtroom movie though there are some good courtroom scenes, it is a good movie nonetheless.

10. Fracture
9. Runaway Jury
8. Just Mercy
7. Rainmaker
6. Primal Fear
5. Philadelphia
4. JFK
3. My Cousin Vinny
2. A Time To Kill
1. A Few Good Men

#1 OJ Made in America (the truth here is messier than any fictional movie)
#2 12 Angry Men (the essential courtroom movie)
#3 A Time to Kill (separates itself because of vigilantism. Would likely be a critical flop today)

I haven't actually seen A Few Good Men.

Primal Fear is number one for me. First time I watched it I was blown away. If you know you know.

The Verdict is tremendous.....one of the best lines, “I cut myself shaving, it almost cleared my eyes up”

A few oldies I enjoyed:
Judgement at Nurenberg
Paths of Glory
The Caine Mutiny (Bogart was especially good as the unstable Captain Queeg)
Witness for the Prosecution
Inherent the Wind
