1. The Verdict

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084855/

Frank Galvin is a down-on-his luck lawyer, reduced to drinking and ambulance chasing. Former associate Mickey Morrissey reminds him of his obligations in a medical malpractice suit that he himself served to Galvin on a silver platter: all parties willing to settle out of court. Blundering his way through the preliminaries, he suddenly realizes that perhaps after all the case should go to court: to punish the guilty, to get a decent settlement for his clients, and to restore his standing as a lawyer.


Paul Newman ... Frank Galvin

Charlotte Rampling ... Laura Fischer

Jack Warden ... Mickey Morrissey

9. Well, you said "The Informant"

I LOVED that movie. It really surprised me with both its humor, and its ability to fuck with your head at times, concerning what EXACTLY the main character was doing...

Even if the movie was "dramatized" for Hollywood, ya gotta give the woman credit for her compassion and tenacity.
