From Redditor /u/lansun:
I just watched it yesterday after googling it and learning [US Supreme Court Justice Sonia] Sotomayor attributed the movie as the reason why she pursued law.
Fantastic classic!

From Redditor /u/LaLaLeapYear:
On Netflix, totally off the beaten path: Guzaarish, [an] Indian film covering [the] debate and trial of a quadriplegic man who requests euthanasia. Interesting scene in an Indian court (yep, they still wear wigs like the British!), and the topic of debate is, itself, interesting...

From Redditor /u/Ickulus:
[I]t is certainly not the best movie ever. Still though, it gets me fired up to fight for someone no matter what other people think of them.

From Redditor /u/T-Luv:
I like Liar Liar. Where a sleazy, truth-bending lawyer discovers that he can use the law, of all things, to represent his client.

From Redditor /u/Lucas-Davenport:
On the more fun/less educational side:
Legally Blonde - great guilty pleasure movie.

The scene where [Paul] Newman is at the hospital and realizes he is the only one speaking for the girl who was effectively brain dead, up against a team of attorneys against him.
From Redditor /u/Provetie:
This movie was our class's example for the best evidence rule. Also, whiskey and pinball in the morning? That's why I went to law school.
