The 15 Best Courtroom Drama Movies of All Time, Ranked by Whatnerd

"When the truth is unclear, it's not easy to uncover it—especially when people are actively hiding it. The good news is, we have a legal system that's meant to help us get to the bottom of what's what. Courtroom drama movies are excellent for when you want to excavate truth through biting dialogue. And whether based on a true story or not, we're often treated to themes of righteousness, honor, and justice. However, as in real life, the facts don't always surface at the right time—if at all—and endings aren't always neatly wrapped in bows. Here are our picks for the best courtroom drama movies that take us down thrilling legal rabbit holes in search of truth and justice." - whatnerd.com
