^ I can, I LOUVE that genre.

--Anatomy of a murder
--The Verdict
--Call northside 777
--Witness for the prosecution
--The Exorcism of Emily Rose
--Fracture (not a whole hog but a good portion)

These are few I've seen or at least I could remember right now.

Best TV show in that genre is "Perry Mason"... I love this genre and you can trust me on "Perry Mason" (its case boos are sold in Crossword)

Went for Rockstar again today.

This time I only saw Ranbir acting. I could not find a single issue with him. No point to complain.

Except for his weird trousers.

 

[rhitwick]

Off the above movies I have not seen The Verdict, Call northside 777 and Witness to a prosecution Coz even i am intrigued by court room drama, I am also pretty interested for few worthy recommendations.
I will start with the verdict, 777 is way too old a movie and so I am not sure how would i like it.

Do you too stay clear of movies that are too old?
Et tu Brutus?

b/w "Call Northside 777" is a James Stewart movie (he was in Anatomy of a murder, Vertigo, Rope, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, It's a wonderful life etc. I hope you got the idea what I intend to say). Could be watched only for him.

Also coming to TV series court room have you seen, SHARK it got some great reviews and I am very interested to view it, just wanted to know if someone has tried this TV series.

NO, I've not seen "Shark", I'll keep it mind. But, do check out "Perry Mason" its the best and I find very satisfying war of logics.

And, "The Verdict" is a mind blowing movie. You will love it.

Rockstar is yawn.

Court room drama reminds me of 12 Angry men which I saw few weeks ago. Can some one share more that type of movies. Any recommendation .. Well I have not seen much but for what I remember I have seen.

12 Angry men
Few Good men

Movies based on John Grisham's novels.

Watched Gandu

[a_medico]

One day - Before sunset + city of angels + 500 days of summer + few korean movies. Give them a British touch and you get One Day. I enjoyed it but was not as good as any of the above movies.

Cowboys and aliens- #Crapblock it (if you know what i mean). Its poor man's Ramsay Brothers movie set in Cowboys era.

 

[rhitwick]

Gandu ........?????

Yes, Gandu a bengali movie which was banned in all film festivals in India.

 

[rajeevk]

Rockstar was a wow! for me. Waiting now for Don 2.

 

[asingh]

What a funny name for a movie. G****. No wonder it was banned.

Not only for the name...the movie visuals are too strong for normal viewing.

b/w people here had tried a lot of bizarre movies, "Salo","Fear and loathing in las vegas", "The girl next door", "Splice", "Human centepede" etc.

If you want to see another and in this case a brainfcuk...try this one. The intellectual part of ur brain might not be insulted.

Update: If interested, you can check out the IMDB review page for this movie. It has only 4 reviews. Not a big task.

 

[prabhu.wali]

Senna Senna (2010) a really awesome movie
Our Idiot Brother Our Idiot Brother (2011) - IMDb -a good watch

OMG..iss naam ki koi movie bhi bana sakta hai..WTF !!

G**** ..

Rhitwick ..its a name of character ? or director meant that

 

[rhitwick]

Its the name of a character or the main lead. Everyone calls him that and he too introduces himself to people by this name.

b/w in bengali there are few such daring gems.
One is Y2K or "Sex krome asiteche" (or Sex is coming slowly). This was a parody of today's social life through the eyes of a hopless, conservative lover boy.

The movie has a song sung by our very famous singer Shilajit
Spoiler for very vulgur lyric,

Spoiler

If you enter your p3nis into a juicy v@gina...
...

The above movie hits hard to all social assumtions, its available in youtube but dialogs are in bengali and very bad sound.

About Gandu,

This is not a movie. It’s a drug-induced hallucinating trip that you take to someone else’s reality. The bylanes of an old city, the rickshaw and its Bruce-Lee-obsessed puller, the constant hurl of abuses and the shifting realm of what is and what could be, makes ‘Gandu’ a kickshaw. With the aspirations, frustration and rap of the protagonist, Gandu, the audience gets a new form of cinema to devour, a far cry from the usual wishy-washy rom-coms.

The film shows a teenager, known as Gandu to everyone, in a desperate attempt to escape the life he is imprisoned in. Rap music, his only friend Ricksha (a rickshaw puller from the neighbourhood), attempts to win a lottery and his online escapades to video games and porn keep him on. The movie moves on seamlessly through a stream of illusions, dreams and erotic hallucinations. Primarily a black and white movie, the use of colours in some of the shots has added to the richness of the imageries

From wiki

Gandu123 was shot in Kolkata on a limited budget with only eight crew members. It was filmed in black and white with one scene in color and had no official script. Q. used a high-definition Canon EOS 7D Single-lens reflex camera to shoot the film. In order to prepare the cast for their nude scenes, (nudity is unusual in Indian cinema) Q. required them to undergo several workshops in which they used Boal techniques. Rituparna, who plays several different roles in the film, is Q.'s real life girlfriend
