Erin Brokovich is a very popular and famous movie. While on the other hand, I personally have not heard of Hurricane
Thoko
2023-08-15 00:26:47 +0000 UTCNow that I think about it, I suppose you're right. I guess the stuff from when they're kids is what stands out in my memory.
Rodger Johnson
2023-08-05 03:52:24 +0000 UTCI think the film is actually shorter than the Dylan song. =D
Bill W
2023-08-05 03:07:40 +0000 UTCAgreed. It's the entire 2nd half of the film.
Bill W
2023-08-05 03:06:02 +0000 UTCI've been requesting that since the beginning... prison movies, courtroom, based on a true story, historical drama... St. Patrick's Day... wherever I thought I could squeeze it in. It only has 11 requests on the Popcorn Requests page.
Bill W
2023-08-05 02:59:34 +0000 UTCAlso a great Bob Dylan song!!!
Bill W
2023-08-05 02:55:03 +0000 UTCDon't get me wrong Erin Brokovich is a great movie but I'm surprised that Hurricane is not getting the love is one of the better courtroom dramas right there with time to kill
Tony Olmos
2023-08-03 19:34:28 +0000 UTCIt’s more of a prison movie, but there is some good courtroom stuff. You need to watch the TRUE STORY, starring Daniel Day Lewis, IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER
SeanATX
2023-08-03 04:58:50 +0000 UTCIt’s far from half the movie, but I get what you’re saying. Not unlike A Time to Kill, there will be some tough scenes, no sugar coating it, but she will be fine, disturbed a little, but fine.
Cole Jennett
2023-08-03 04:09:47 +0000 UTCDoesn't look like The Hurricane is gonna win the poll but you should absolutely watch it at some point, then listen to Bob Dylans song about the actual true story.. Life changing.
Jesse Moreno
2023-08-03 03:06:46 +0000 UTCCollectively, I think the movies in poll A are quite a bit stronger than those in poll B.
Mahad Ali
2023-08-03 01:40:49 +0000 UTCI will also say that Sleepers is the best movie on this list but I will add that the first half is highly disturbing. When I go back to watch it I always skip that part. I'll second the call for Amistad which is a very underrated Steven Spielberg movie about a true event.
JayF
2023-08-03 00:56:35 +0000 UTCBut also where's Murder in the First(1995)? Kevin Bacon, Christian Slater, Brad Dourif, not least of all Gary Oldman?
mikethemotormouth
2023-08-02 23:21:41 +0000 UTCThis one also has a lot of good ones!
Robert Nelson
2023-08-02 20:32:43 +0000 UTCI gotta disagree on that. The court case is pretty important. It’s the entire focus of the present day portion.
Cole Jennett
2023-08-02 19:03:28 +0000 UTCI really Love Kramer vs. Kramer. Just Sayin’ ;-)
Larry Darrell
2023-08-02 17:10:52 +0000 UTC... or Amistad
carbsix
2023-08-02 16:52:57 +0000 UTCYou didn't include Concussion and A Civil Action 🤔
carbsix
2023-08-02 16:52:21 +0000 UTCrunaway Jury and Sleepers are sleeper hits , you'll love both of them. Sleepers supposedly is a true story from the author
rtt143
2023-08-02 15:13:44 +0000 UTCWell....Did not know you can do that, thanks!
Kevin Kuma
2023-08-02 15:00:31 +0000 UTCI'm glad my vote is winning for Erin Brockovich, but damn I love The Rainmaker, a greatly underrated movie, I love Matt Damon and Danny DeVito in it.
Brother Who
2023-08-02 10:01:58 +0000 UTCSleepers is an amazing (and dark) movie, but I don't really think of its as a courtroom movie. The court stuff isn't really the focus.
Rodger Johnson
2023-08-02 08:02:27 +0000 UTCI kinda came to that same conclusion as well
Shawn Kildal
2023-08-02 05:27:45 +0000 UTCBecause I think more people have seen RUNAWAY JURY than have seen KRAMER VS. KRAMER.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-08-02 05:19:51 +0000 UTCVote for all three!
Cole Jennett
2023-08-02 05:04:16 +0000 UTCThank You!!👏
Cole Jennett
2023-08-02 05:03:52 +0000 UTCIt’s on Pool A
Cole Jennett
2023-08-02 05:03:30 +0000 UTCTrue Believer with James Woods and RDJ should be on a courtroom poll one of these days. Though it will never win.
Hiraoka Toru
2023-08-02 04:43:28 +0000 UTCSleepers
Austin
2023-08-02 04:23:54 +0000 UTCI'm bummed that Class Action with Gene Hackman and Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio doesn't get more attention. It's a great film but few people seem to have even heard of it.
Colin Gutierrez
2023-08-02 03:45:18 +0000 UTCWould have really liked to have seen AMISTAD in either one of these polls.
Mark Vaderr
2023-08-02 03:20:44 +0000 UTCI think Sleepers might traumatize Cassie, but its literally the best movie on this list. I am almost sad that Erin Brokovich is in the lead when it was 98% B.S.
Vega
2023-08-02 03:11:17 +0000 UTCDid you already do the Pelican Brief? If so I apologize. But one of the best conspiracy courtroom dramas there is.
Roger Wayne Alms
2023-08-02 03:10:14 +0000 UTCThe Hurricane is the best movie on this list by far Denzel Washington makes a solid performance . don’t overlook it in the Polls its a Winner Cassie .
Steve Hickman
2023-08-02 02:35:24 +0000 UTCTough Poll. I went for KvsK but Sleepers and The Rainmaker are also worthy.
John Cranberry
2023-08-02 00:29:16 +0000 UTCAgree. Cassie would love Kramer v Kramer. Especially just after seeing Dustin Hoffman in Rain Man.
Aaron Mann
2023-08-02 00:23:24 +0000 UTCOnce Erin Brokovich is finally crossed off the list, The Rainmaker will have a much better chance next time.
Shawn Kildal
2023-08-02 00:11:58 +0000 UTCTerese Wright was also in Somewhere in Time. She was the friend to the older Eliese McKenna.
Shawn Kildal
2023-08-02 00:08:54 +0000 UTCYes indeed!
Shawn Kildal
2023-08-02 00:05:45 +0000 UTCI get the love for Erin Brokovich, but how does Runaway Jury have more votes than Kramer vs Kramer which is an all-time great film? I knew Erin Brokovich was going to blow up the votes since it doesn't have to compete with A Few Good Men and My Cousin Vinny like it did last time we did this. Still also hoping for The Rainmaker to get reacted to. We could have a whole month of nothing but Courtroom dramas and I'd be over the moon with that.
Shawn Kildal
2023-08-02 00:04:38 +0000 UTCCassie 100% will love Erin Brokovich. That movie has everything - plus it's a true story.
Johnny
2023-08-01 23:44:48 +0000 UTCJohn Grissom said the Rainmaker was the best movie adaptation from his books. a stellar cast.
zynjams
2023-08-01 23:33:24 +0000 UTCSleepers is such a good but horrifying film.
Timothy Burrows
2023-08-01 22:50:06 +0000 UTCCassie, you and Carly need to watch "Extraordinary Attorney Woo" together!
Michael Gilbrook
2023-08-01 22:37:31 +0000 UTCPlease watch The Hurricane such a good movie
S Elphick
2023-08-01 22:34:39 +0000 UTCRainmaker is hands down one of the best courtroom movies ever made, and IMO should not be dismissed regardless of the poll outcome.
Christopher B.
2023-08-01 22:21:19 +0000 UTCIt's really the Cassiest movie you can imagine.
Carol_White
2023-08-01 21:35:56 +0000 UTCOh right?!?! That never even crossed my mind! Maybe?😂
Cole Jennett
2023-08-01 20:49:30 +0000 UTCOn the bright side, Woman in Gold is certainly slated for a spot in a future Last Place Losers poll!
Mike LL
2023-08-01 20:45:32 +0000 UTCWhere is poll B? I'm with you Julie Chittenden. Woman in Gold is one of my all time favourites.
Georges Jarjour
2023-08-01 20:18:44 +0000 UTCLove Rainmaker, would love to see that one covered.
Alex Laime
2023-08-01 20:18:33 +0000 UTCVote for both🤷♂️
Cole Jennett
2023-08-01 20:07:46 +0000 UTCNot sure if I really refer Woman in Gold as a courtroom drama. But it is an amazing movie and I wish more people have seen it.
Julie Chittenden
2023-08-01 19:58:39 +0000 UTCOh, now, if Erin Brockovich wins, I'm going to be excited! I absolutely adore that movie and think Cassie will, too.
Art of Free Speech
2023-08-01 19:51:56 +0000 UTCYou forgot The Trail of the Chicago 7.
Joe M
2023-08-01 19:46:35 +0000 UTCYou should add law abiding citizen to this poll. Definitely fits the courtroom vibe
Matthew Dedman
2023-08-01 19:34:09 +0000 UTCLook at "Sleepers" catching some click action up there!! I love it!! I voted "Erin Brokovich" though lol..
Kevin Kuma
2023-08-01 19:04:08 +0000 UTCIt’s interesting that I’m voting for the least popular film on the other list - Judgement at Nuremberg - and the most popular one on this list - Erin Brockovich. Not sure what that says about me, but both films are unusually faithful depictions of real-life cases that feature incredible performances.
jdj830
2023-08-01 18:52:25 +0000 UTCThat’s on the other poll
Cole Jennett
2023-08-01 18:51:08 +0000 UTCThis list isn't as strong as the other one, but there are still a couple good films on here. I'm voting for RUNAWAY JURY, but I won't be surprised to see ERIN BROCKOVICH win.
Stick Figure Studios
2023-08-01 18:43:01 +0000 UTCLike I said, I'm not into courtroom movies, however I do make an exception for a few (My Cousin Vinny & 12 Angry Men) respectively! And I also make an exception for Erin Brokovich, which I watched in High School back in the day lol! Plus one other movie stary Tommy Lee Jones and Samuel L. Jackson, Rules of Engagement, though I clasify that as a Military/Courtroom, but it's a good movie! Very clever Cassie, making two polls as "Object A" and "Object B" making it like "Exibit A" & "Exibit B", very clever lol! Really enjoyed your North By Northwest reaction last night, totally worth staying up till 2 in the morning lol! I even left you a voting poll idea in my commentary about it last night! Have a great Tuesday, love and support🥰😁😉👍🌹
Wesley White
2023-08-01 18:40:58 +0000 UTCSleepers is among my personal favorite movies ever! I’m very excited to see it doing as well as it is right now.
Brian Harris
2023-08-01 18:37:17 +0000 UTCI was really hoping Sleepers would get more votes.
TJ
2023-08-01 18:36:10 +0000 UTCIf you didn't see Erin yet, that's a good choice. She is very charming and the story is nice too.
Dioskur
2023-08-01 18:29:28 +0000 UTCErin is gonna win whatever happens. im not mad though.
rakesh
2023-08-01 18:27:00 +0000 UTCSo few votes for The Judge.....Humm.
Seymor Butz
2023-08-01 18:25:52 +0000 UTCIt’s her final role too!

Odd Thomas
2023-08-01 18:22:12 +0000 UTC"Jagged Edge" (1985) with Jeff Bridges and Glen Close is a good one as is, "From the Hip" (1987) with Judd Nelson.
Javier Hernandez
2023-08-01 18:19:30 +0000 UTCCome on Sleepers!!
Bill W
2023-08-01 18:14:54 +0000 UTCUnfortunately, it seems people have forgotten about another great courtroom drama: "A Civil Action". It is based on real events and the cast is packed: Robert Duvall, John Travolta, William H. Macy, James Gandolfini, Tony Shalhoub, Sydney Pollak to name a few.
BlueChip300
2023-08-01 18:06:49 +0000 UTCDang it! Any chance there is a "Group C" is coming later tonight? Or, by chance, is Cassie saving the true story of Indictment: The McMartin Trial (1995) for August's Popcorn Pick?
Mike Lemon
2023-08-01 18:06:21 +0000 UTCI mentioned Sleepers to you an awhile back. I’m glad to see it on your poll. Great cast and a great plot.
Sean Bleakley
2023-08-01 18:05:33 +0000 UTCNot on either list that I really liked was "Class Action" with Gene Hackman. Maybe in the future?
Chris Davis
2023-08-01 18:02:49 +0000 UTCI always tend to vote for something other than the runaway favourite in these polls... But in this case I think Erin Brokovich is genuinely great and I can't wait to see Cassie react to it!
Henry Graham
2023-08-01 18:00:26 +0000 UTCI know Woman in gold might not get chosen, but honestly if it doesn't you and your sister have to see it. It is one of my favourite films. Another good lawyer movie not on the list is Presumed Innocent with Harrison Ford. Much of it was filmed in Windsor, Ontario.
Georges Jarjour
2023-08-01 18:00:02 +0000 UTCI'm hoping The Verdict is in the other poll. This is a fabulous courtroom drama. Stars one of Cassie's faves Paul Newman as an aging attorney taking one last shot at success against great odds. American Film Institute lists it as #4 on its top list of legal dramas. AFI also has the screenplay in its Top 100 list. Film was nominated for 5 Ocsars, including Best Picture and Newman as Best Actor. Also starring Charlotte Rampling and Jack Warden.
Marc Peterson

Robin Craft
2023-08-01 17:57:16 +0000 UTCthats an amazing list of fantastic films. Highly suggest all of them. Especially Erin, Runaway Jury and The Rainmaker
Ryan Towell
2023-08-01 17:54:04 +0000 UTCWell I see The Rainmaker might indeed be in the final six, but teardrops are destined for Mike's pillow in the end! 😂😂😂😂
Mike LL
2023-08-01 17:50:58 +0000 UTCI watched The Rainmaker many times and read the book before I realized that it was Teresa Wright from one of my favorite movies, The Best Times of Our Lives, in that small role. Makes the movie more special for me.
Mike LL
2023-08-01 17:49:22 +0000 UTCAnother great poll full of winners Cassie. My pick is winning so far. But again watch at least 3 from these 2 polls please. Just way too many good ones to choose from.
brooke atkins
2023-08-01 17:48:10 +0000 UTCNone of the above.
Miles E Coburn
2023-08-01 17:46:46 +0000 UTCSurely Erin Brockovich is going to win by a landslide on this poll and the final one. Can’t believe Cassie hasn’t seen it already, it’s exactly her type of movie. Can’t wait! 🍿
Luke Godfrey
2023-08-01 17:41:02 +0000 UTCRecords on selection, if you move it around, you can see the totals change live
Tringard
2023-08-01 17:40:40 +0000 UTCNo love at all for Woman in Gold😔. I don’t think enough people have seen that movie. Ryan Reynolds, Helen Mirren, Tatiana Maslany all kill it!
Cole Jennett
2023-08-01 17:40:24 +0000 UTCI'm so happy that Sleepers made the cut. It's an incredibly hard movie to watch but a fantastic tale of loyalty, friendship, revenge, and justice. And an absolute amazing cast: Kevin Bacon, Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Jason Patric, Brad Pitt, Minnie Driver. We'll all be crying along accordingly if this one wins. 😊🥲

2023-08-01 17:35:48 +0000 UTCKramer vs Kramer and the Judge are amazing. Erin Brokovich is overhyped in my oppinion

David RedEagle
2023-08-01 17:30:28 +0000 UTCRainmaker was directed by FF Coppola. Stars Matt Damon, Claire Danes and a supporting role from the legendary Teresa Wright !!!!! You may remember her from Best Years of Our Lives and one of my favorite Hitchcock films, Shadow of a Doubt (that you haven’t seen yet)
