    For some reason, I never get tired of it. I burned it on DVD there recently, so it's about the second time in three months that I've saw it, but it's always great.

    I think the Devil's advocate is a great film. The idea of the devil being lawyer particularly appeals to me!!

    I like the concept, that we are never forced to do anything in life, but choose to do so of free will, and reap the consequences as a result.

    I do believe that Star Wars got a noble mention in my post Morpheus.

    Maybe you've just met him Ah no, it's the truth though, from what I've saw it's the profession with the most leeway to bend stuff. It's all about choices and consequences. What's within the law isn't always the right thing to do.

    If we were to go into specific law/legal themed films, my choice would be:

    1. My Cousin Vinny (yes, I have a subconscious feeling that influence my choice of career)
    2. Witness for the Prosecution (a real oldie)
    3. The Lincoln Lawyer
    4. A Civil Action
    5. A Time to Kill (book was great, film felt too short)
    6. Nuremberg (preferably the mini-series)
    7. In the Name of the Father

    There's plenty of others, but those are the ones that stand out to me.

    My all time favourite new film that I've saw in the last two years has to be The Guard, it's just so true and a picture of me if I ever joined up!
