If you also feel the same way, then let me suggest the 5 best courtroom comedies to buy on DVD and Blu-ray and then I will direct you to the best place to buy one of these great movies so you too can build your collection.
Here are the 5 best courtroom comedies to buy on DVD and Blu-ray:
1.) My Cousin Vinny (1992)- This is one hilarious movie from start to finish. It's about Bill and Stan, two college students who are headed for UCLA when they are arrested in Alabama for the murder of a convenience store clerk. Unable to afford an attorney, they turn to Bill's cousin Vinny, an attorney from New York who took six tries to pass his bar exam. At this point, he's only taken personal injury cases, none of which have gone to trial. Dragging along his fiance' Mona Lisa Vito, Vinny will have to straighten up fast and keep out of jail himself, if he's going to win the case. Marisa Tomei won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for portraying Mona Lisa Vito.
2.) Legally Blonde (2001)- Elle Woods (Reese Witherspoon) has it all. She's the president of her sorority, a Hawaiian Tropic girl, Miss June in her campus calendar, but unfortunately she's a natural blonde. She dates the cutest fraternity boy on campus and wants nothing more than to be Mrs. Warner Huntington III. But, there's just one thing stopping Warner (Matthew Davis) from popping the question: Elle is too blonde. So, when Warner packs up for Harvard Law and reunites with an old sweetheart from prep school, Elle rallies all her resources to get into Harvard, determined to win him back. But law school is a far cry from what she is accustomed to. Elle must wage the battle of her life, for herself and for all the blondes who suffer endless indignities in life.
3.) Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde (2003)- This is the sequel to the 2001 movie, Legally Blonde. This time, Elle Woods goes to Washington D.C. to change the law on animal testing. While there, she sees how our political system, the U.S. Congress is ran. Lucky for her, she meets a doorman named Sidney played by Bob Newhart, who shows her how the system works to get a bill passed. She writes `The Bruiser Bill' and puts it in the hopper of Congress. Elle needs 218 signatures to get her bill to be voted on. She gets some unlikely support from several members of Congress she befriends but to get more support, she has a Million Dog March on Washington.
4.) Liar Liar (1997)- This movie is about Fletcher Reed, played by Jim Carrey, who is a successful lawyer who has built his career on lying. Unfortunately he spends far too much time working instead of being with his son Max, so Max makes a birthday wish that for just one day, his dad can't tell a lie. The wish comes true and Fletcher must try to defend his client, Samantha Cole even though his entire defense for her is a lie. Movie also stars Swoosie Kurtz and Jennifer Tilly.
5.) Trial and Error (1997)- This movie stars Jeff Daniels as a lawyer named Charlie Tuttle, who has to travel to Paradise Bluff, Nevada to defend a relative of his boss in a class action suit but this conflicts with his bachelor party. When he arrives there he is unexpectantly greeted by his best man Richard Rjetti, played by Michael Richards, who is determined to show him a good time. Later that night, Charlie is knocked out in a barfight and gets prescribed some painkillers and ends up taking the whole bottle. In no shape for court the next day, Richard must step in and take Charlie's place. Since Richard is an actor and not a lawyer, he must rely on Charlie to teach along the way, which amounts to comedic consequences.
