Denzel Washington should had got a Oscar for his performance as Joe Miller.

Brilliant! Got the defense to say “sexual preference has nothing to do with this case!”

Denzel Washington. One of my favorite actors !! Every character he’s played just brilliant 👍🏻

This is where I got the term “Booty Snatcher” in Denzels voice and it hasn’t left my head since😂😂😂😂

Top-tier performance by Mr. Denzel Washington! I admire his works so much! what an attitude on-screen! Love you Denzel Washington.

“Rump Roaster” lol never heard that one before

One of the greatest actors of our time!

An amazing movie and truly magnificent acting by Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks! Just brilliant and a great script!

I still use "accidentally on purpose" now.

Denzel being top notch! Excellent performance!

My favorite scene in the whole movie. Master class on just asking a straight up question

denzel was so damn great in this. so true. classic scene..

Denzel should get an Oscar just for existing.

As good as Hanks is in this film, Denzel Washington is a goddamned revelation. Master class.

This movie is a ageless classic

Denzel performance in this is Oscar worthy 💯

WHOEVER WROTE THIS SCRIPT, WAS LIGHTYEARS AHEAD OF THEIR TIME. IT STILL APPLIES TO TODAY UNFORTUNATELY

Astonishing performance...….Denzel is one of my favorite actors of my generation

Denzel is a once in a generation actor

Denzel phenomenal as always. Should have won an Oscar for this too. But don’t forget we got to see Bradley Whitford here in one of his early small roles. He always did a great job and made an impression. One of our great character actors.

The defendants' defense defending the prosecutor's counselor... Now that was new. 😄

Some of Denzel's best work!

You should have cut it after Andy tells Joe, "Well done."

There are 3 films in my life that rank as 'my top choices'. There are also many other amazing,fantastic films. Philadelphia,however, is in the top 3. A film that changes attitudes, enhances empathy and understanding, a film that informs about the wonderful variations in the 'human condition' - such a film transcends entertainment.

This is what got me into the legal field--helping the underdog, protecting them, fighting for them. Sadly, I'm not sure I do much of that these days. But I am a widower with a young son, no girlfriend to help, no family to help, so I suppose for the time being I am doing what I can.

Haha, accidentally on purpose 😅 🤣 😂

[edit] Disregard. It's in the next one.[/edit] Yikes! You cut probably the best line of the entire move "With all due respect your honor. We don't live in this courtroom though do we?"

Judge [Charles Napier]: 'You're gonna look pretty funny eatin' corn on the cob with NO FUCKING TEETH!' Joe Miller [Denzil Washington]: 'My man....my man'

Forgot how good this movie was, great performances 👏🏻

Mr. Denzel Washington is sublime..

This is the only Denzel Washington movie I watched. Unbelievable.

Not the biggest deal of this clip, but it just added another layer into an experience with a manager. She rustled through a set of cheques that i had organized, instead of just asking me to find something. So when i looked for the corresponding paperwork, it was miraculously missing, after being there for months. I asked her to look on her desk for it, as she may have taken it by error, after doing my due diligence. But if she was the last person that touched it, she is the closest person to suspect. She said to asked someone else. I didn't have time to argue, so i explained to her assistant (the real Exec director) and he said he'll look for it when she leaves the office. 2 minutes later, he presents the missing doc, from off of her table. I told her that he found it on her desk. She acted like i was an overly sensitive black woman and mocked me, as if what she did was no big deal. I see what undermining someone looks like now even clearer and i cant wait to see her Karma.

Denzel was magnificent!

need to watch this movie again Denzel WOW AMAZING

No judge would ever let Denzel make an elaborate speech out of nowhere. It's so unrealistic, but great theater.

Extraordinary performance or Denzel Washington .... I watched this movie several times and each time I am deeply moved ... there would be so much to say on this subject ...... Tom Hanks also great performance !!!!

The actor on the witness stand I remember was in the Thanksgiving scene from Scent of a Woman where Al Pacino grabbed him by his throat for calling his friend Chucky(Chris O'Donnell)

1:00 Director: "Loving the energy, Mr. Washington, but can you stick with the script?"

While a powerful scene, a moment like this in court would be an immediate mistrial and likely Miller is losing his ability to ever practice law again lol

2:18 Judge: “Oh hell no”

Denzel was fire in this movie. He was so good he didn't even get a nomination.

Denzel always amazes❤️

This is Denzel’s best movie.

Damn that was good. How did DW not win an Oscar?

Brother Denzel Washington is the goat & legend Much Love my brother always

Rump Roaster now that’s a first 😂😂😂

This is the movie that made me want to become a lawyer! Unfortunately I was 46 at the time and working as a janitor at an unlicensed dog grooming parlor in rural Wisconsin.

This is perhaps the most accurate representation of a trail case ever seen on the big screen!

Esse ator é um talento sem igual curto muito os filmes dele.❤️❤️❤️

" Rump Roaster " was a personal highlight of mine.

In The European World it would be called "Poof" "Nancy Boy" and in The Caribbean World it's called Batty Man.

Powerfully scene

Joe Miller at first was no better than Wheeler and Jamie and those other men at that firm Andrew worked for. But Joe at least learned something; they didn't.

Denzel killed it in this role, however it would’ve been very funny to see Bill Murray in this scene he would’ve killed it as well imo.

that Denzel strut.

A sidebar conference typically isn't the time for making a speech to everyone in the courtroom.

Bigoted as it may sound, I really enjoyed all the colloquiums for homosexual.

Brilliant scene

Philadelphia is awesome movie 👌👌👌👌👌

The judge was unusually cooperative for a Hollywood movie...

Missing one crucial dialogue

Thinking outside the box!

90s movies were the best .. freedom of speech was soooo exercised in the 90s and it shows in the movies . So much of this movie wouldn’t be made today

My most favorite scene in the movie.

One of the few Oscar winners from the 90’s that still holds up today…..sorry Forest Gump or Dances with Wolves

Such an unrealistic courtroom scene

0:53 oh look, it's my family members at any family gathering!

Why is the Plaintiff lawyer making closing arguments in the middle of witness examination?

Our favorite movie slimeball--- Bradley Whitford.

Why he didn't win a supporting actor award in this movie

There was no danger of missing the filing deadline as the court has an after-hours box and they could have filed anytime before midnight.

Please approach the bench…thirty feet away.

Jon Cryer was born in New York City, NY in 1965.

Denzel should have gotten an Oscar

They had never seen a street fighter type attorney.

Denzel missed an "exactly" at 0:34

Also Denzel worked with folks who also would get Oscars. Morgan Freeman, Samuel L. Jackson, also his Son is also making a name for himself as an Actor. He also made history by being the first African American to win The Cecil B. Demille Award for his work.

Joe Miller got Mr. Collins caught up in his own guilt just like Kaffee got Jessup caught up in his own lie.

What a powerful scene! Mindblowing! To do this back in 93 when the fear surrounding aids was acutely irrational and the hatred towards homosexuals was at it's peak! I doff my hat to the director!

Denzel Washington is a great Actor and great American citizen

*you think you can do this to ME??*

Thomas Jeffrey Hanks 09 de julio de 1956 67 AÑOS.

“Should had got”? Absent the day they covered verb tenses?

He's the Wiz and nobody beats him.

Denzel Hayes Washington JR 28 de diciembre de 1954 68 AÑOS. (69)

I forgot Bradley Whitford was in this

Hilarious scene. Even more hilarious is how idiots respond to basic cinematic techniques. Any type of monologue, even the dumbest one, you can have someone say in a dramatic fashion, put some sentimental piece of music over it and have bums feel they're watching actual drama

Honestly some of those pejoratives I've actually never heard before. "Pillow biter, police snatcher, rump roaster...."

Needs subtitles. I don't subscribe to channels that don't have them.

Rump roaster? I didn’t know that

Great clip but you cut it short

Brilliant

Great speech. Stupid legal move. Making arguments when he was just being called to the bench with a private talk with the judge.

Even Andrew was confused.

You folks scare the hell out of me. That's for goddamn sure.

This is the only scene that isn’t totally legit. No judge is gonna allow a lawyer to turn the court into their personal stage, to pontificate and lecture. Otherwise it’s one of the most accurate movies about court etiquette and customs out there

what does the lady lawyer care if Denzel attacks his own witness. sit down and shut up lady. ty

Why cut it when tom hanks is about to say well done?

Hanks lookin good tho ngl

Let's say for argument's sake that Wheeler and Associates were telling the truth; that Andrew Beckett was indeed a mediocre lawyer at best, his illness notwithstanding. Then that would be one thing. Then it would have been a legally fireable reason. But then, one would think, they wouldn't have allowed him to work for them as long as he did, much less would they make him a senior partner, or entrust such an important case to him.
