A Few Good Men:

This is the courtroom drama that put filmmaker Aaron Sorkin on the map. Legend has it that Sorkin penned the screenplay on restaurant tissue papers during his bartending days, and the film's subsequent success propelled him to the forefront of Hollywood. Directed by Rob Reiner, A Few Good Men is a captivating courtroom drama that skillfully combines gripping performances, intense dialogue, and a thought-provoking narrative. This film delves into the moral dilemmas faced by the military and explores themes of honour, loyalty, and justice. The film has memorable performances by Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson. 

Erin Brockovich:

Erin Brockovich is a unique legal drama that deviates from the traditional courtroom narrative. Similar to how Quentin Tarantino subverted the heist genre in Reservoir Dogs by not showcasing the heist itself, this film takes us beyond the confines of the courtroom, shedding light on the remarkable events unfolding on the fringes of a court case. Directed by Steven Soderbergh and based on a true story, Erin Brockovich is a captivating and inspiring film. This powerful drama follows the remarkable journey of a determined woman who takes on a corporate giant to seek justice for a community poisoned by toxic waste. Julia Roberts delivers a career-defining performance as the eponymous Erin Brockovich. She plays a feisty and unconventional legal assistant with no formal education in the law but gives highly-educated snooty lawyers a run for their money. 

Dark Waters:

This could be described as spiritual siblings to Erin Brockovich. Based on real events, the movie tells the story of a highly-paid, swanky lawyer, who works for a big corporation, and goes against his bosses when he finds out how corporate greed was poisoning a whole community. Mark Ruffalo delivers a remarkable performance as Robert Bilott, a tenacious lawyer. Directed by Todd Haynes, this compelling drama sheds light on an important and often overlooked issue, reminding us of the dire need for corporate accountability. It explores the consequences of environmental negligence and the devastating impact it can have on innocent lives.
