Ok, Runaway Jury got me thinking about "trial" movies: A Time to Kill A Few Good Men My Cousin Vinny 
Shawn
Epic 80/600 + M3's + M3 Algonquins + M2 Computer + EP125
I think I'm developing an addiction.

Cool thread! I don't know that it is possible to pick a top 10 ever in movies. Each era has its greats.
Here is a list of movies that have stood out to me:
Gone with the Wind - to me the grand daddy of movies ahead of their time
Dr. Zhivago
Das Boot
AI - Best SciFi movie I have seen
Lord of the Rings
Sophies Choice
Modern Times - gotta include Chaplin in the list somewhere
African Queen
Long Day's Jouney Into Night - Hepburn was amazing in this movie
Days of Wine and Roses - One of Jack Lemon's best performances
Kiss of the Spicer Woman
Fred

African Queen, classic.
My Cousin Vinny, every once in a while before a trial, I watch it. The Best and briefest movie cross-examination ever.
Enjoy the Music. Trust your ears. Laugh at Folks Who Claim to Know it All.

'Aliens' - always one of my favourites.
There are 2 versions on Blu-Ray - try the 1990 full length version. My daughter & I watched it tonight - the first time that we had seen the long version that James Cameron originally wanted to show; however, it was deemed to be too long (2 hrs 34 mins) by the higher ups.
Excellent video quality & the sound track is tremendous. As always, the story line was superb & suspenseful. The long version built more background to the story at the front end than the theatrical release. A better version overall IMHO.
During the ending credits I turned the volume down from -10 Db to -20 Db. It's a good thing that I did as a short THX animated demo appeared & almost blew us out of the room. Be careful - it could be a sub destroyer if played too loud. I've got to watch that part again when my wife isn't trying to sleep, ha!
