Catlady has named in Twelve Angry Men one of the best law-related movies of all time. And consider the cast -- it was truly a mega all star cast movie when viewed in light of its times. Lee J. Cobb was fantastic as the bigot and Henry Fonda displayed the patience he was known for in movies (even if not in real life).
And I second Harry's nomination of Rumpole. When I practiced law, I strove to be as good a lawyer as I thought Rumpole was (and Leo McKern truly was Rumpole).
Paul's nomination of A Few Good Men also gets a thumbs up from me. What a cast in the movie; probably Tom Cruise's finest hour.
Don't forget Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird -- both book and movie. Although not really a "thriller", it is a book that opened the eyes of many Americans.
