The American Bar Association's ABA Journal recently made a list of the 25 Greatest Legal Movies according to its panel of attorneys and law professors who regularly comment on law in the media.  Most of the films on the list are crime and criminal law movies.  Many are award-winners.  So, here are some of the top crime and criminal law movies ever. 

If you haven't seen some of these classics. or don't have them in your film library, click on the pictures to purchase a copy.  Watching great films is an excellent way to get motivated on any project you may be working on (or putting off)!

12 Angry Men
My Cousin Vinny (which I selected as my favorite legal comedy ever)
Anatomy of a Murder
Inherit the Wind
