Recommendations for similar courtroom dramas?


I've been looking for similar movies for a while now. Loved this one. Specifically I'm looking for courtroom dramas such as this and Primal Fear. Preferably past 1995. A lot of movies seem to be focussed on events outside the courtroom. Will you please post your recommendations on trial based movies?

If you liked "Fracture", you will love "Guilty Conscience".

It also stars Anthony Hopkins. It was made before 1995 and does not take place in a courtroom. But it is brilliant and you will love it.

12 angry men (1957)
Law abiding citizen (2009) >> I can say this is kind a similiar court drama with more tension and action
Murder 101 (1991) >> Not really court, but the whole investigation and the ending remind me of this.

Shocked nobody mentioned this but Reversal of Fortune. An incredible performance from Jeremy Irons which won him an Oscar.

I thought the courtroom story in The Exorcism of Emily Rose was well made & written.

Basically a horror movie OC.

A Civil Action, with John Travolta. Also, Breaker Morant, if you like military trials.

I love this genre,. I have 2 quick recommendations.

The judge "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1872194/";

Also, do yourself a favor, if you liked Fracture and like this genre, watch: Judicial Consent (1994) "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110212/";, Its a hidden gem tv movie that is very nice too. If you or anyone else have seen it I would like to know hat do you think.

Somebody's already mentioned it, but I highly recommend 'A Time To Kill' 1996. Simply an astounding film with wonderful performances. You might also want to try out 'The Rainmaker' 1997.
