Whodunnit or courtroom drama film recommendation

Please can someone recommend a film for myself and my very narrow 19 year old daughter?
She likes whodunnits ( she loved Glass Onion and Knives Out) , thrillers and court room dramas. Police stuff good too if it's pacy or gritty.
We have access to Netflix, Disney+ , iPlayer and Prime.

John Grisham films- The Firm, A Time to Kill, Runaway Jury, The Client

Second all of these. The client is one of my favourite fils. Also - the Pelican Brief

Witness for the Prosecution is an old film but it's really good

The best in the genre, for me. I envy anyone watching it for the first time and it's included with Amazon Prime.

Anyone remember Jagged Edge, from the 80s? That's very exciting in parts, especially the ending.

I've been trying to find Jagged Edge for ages. Doesn't seem to be available on any of the usual platforms. Would really love to re watch it.

LadyMacbethssweetArabianhand · 14/05/2023 17:46

I do remember Jagged Edge. Glenn Close at her best. Another one I suddenly remembered is Primal Fear. Ed Norton and Richard Gere I think

skippy67 · 14/05/2023 17:46

Primal Fear is another good one. Currently on Netflix.

skippy67 · 14/05/2023 17:47

@LadyMacbethssweetArabianhand, great minds!😅

Shadowworry · 14/05/2023 17:47

For happy more comedy one’s Death in Paradise, Beyond Paradise, Hustle, New Tricks etc

LadyWithLapdog · 14/05/2023 17:53

An Italian miniseries Don’t Leave Me on channel 4 Walter presents.

LookOutBandits · 14/05/2023 17:56

The Staircase on Netflix.

You can watch entire trials on the Court Tv website.

Unforgotten was excellent

John Grisham films- The Firm, A Time to Kill, Runaway Jury, The Client

A Time to Kill - Very good, and quite possibly the sweatiest film ever made.

I would recommend 'The Lincoln Lawyer'. It was a film and is now also a Netflix series.

Perry Mason 4 episodes a season (I think ) ,on Prime

Little known, but absolutely excellent, though brutal, Shepherds and Butchers on Netflix.
