TV judges reveal the most accurate court case movies ever made

Judges Adam Levy, son of Judge Judy, and Judge Patricia DiMango were in agreement that "My Cousin Vinny" has all the elements of a near-perfect court movie.

In a legal case, discovery is the process of exchanging information and evidence between parties. And Levy said the film nailed it.

"You know, obviously, the Marisa Tomei line, 'It's called discovery, d---head,'" Levy continued. "You had direct examinations. You had vigorous cross-examinations. You had it all. You had expert witnesses. You had legal arguments. You had difficult judges who appeared to be one-sided. All of those things are exactly the way a trial takes place. At least in my experience."

DiMango agreed that "hands down, without a doubt," she'd also give the award to the classic comedy. 

"The movie itself tracks the statute from the time of arrest until the dismissal of the case," she told Fox News Digital. "And it does so in such a humorous way because there's such a twist to what some of the things that - like him coming to court in that absurd suit because he had to dress a certain way. After the opening statement, he's like falling asleep because he's so tired and they wake him up and he stands up."

DiMango found the film so accurate that she actually used it as an instructional tool for the New York State Penal Law and Criminal Procedure law back when she was a college professor. 

"The students loved it," she recalled. "They would say, each class I had, they would say, 'Judge, you going to show us 'My Cousin Vinny?' And I'd say, 'yeah,' and you could pause on each different portion of the proceedings and bring them back to the criminal procedure law, bring them back to the penal law and talk about how the law applies and what it is."

Judge Tanya Acker, the third judge on "Tribunal Justice," said she was blown away by the 1990 Harrison Ford thriller "Presumed Innocent."

"Tribunal Justice" season two is streaming on Prime Video starting on Monday. New episodes stream weekdays.
