The biggest lack of realism is that no one gets away with lying to a judge about their identity as a lawyer, much less getting another judge to cover for them.

That really depends on if you are looking at an affirmative defense (self defense) where you actually had a legal self defense situation. Even then you need to know to avoid specifics for things like exact times, distances, and quoting as the stress of the situation causes documented misperceptions from memory which may be misrepresented in court. Look into the writings a Masaad Ayoob who has functioned as a LEO, LEO trainer, expert witness in self defense shooting both the realities of and legalities, and CCW trainer for decades.

Number One movie by the ABA was To Kill A Mockingbird. Atticus Finch is viewed as pretty much the greatest lawyer in movie history. Number Two movie is 12 Angry Men which is a phenomenal depiction of a jury deliberating a case. Both just stellar movies and legally accurate. Up there with them if you like legal films are Anatomy of a Murder, Witness for the Prosecution and Inherit the Wind. By the way both To Kill a Mockingbird and Inherit the Wind are also set it the south (Tenn. and Alabama respectively)

I did love this film from the first time I saw it and re-watching it more recently I found it was surprising how well it held up. I do find Vinny as a character very frustrating through most part of the story but that is how I'm supposed to feel I guess. Marisa Tomei is just amazing in this and thoroughly deserved all the accolades she got for this performance. Even as a non-US lawyer I always found the legal aspects of the movie were possibly very true to life and then in time I studied a little more and realized that they were and that the film is held in almost universal esteem in that regard. Great reaction, great movie. Oh and by the way I believe the films that topped the American bar Association's list of best legal films of all time that Matthew mentioned are "To Kill A Mockingbird" and "12 Angry Men".

The judge was played by the great actor, Fred Gwynne this was his last film before he died of cancer. Fred Gwynne was on tv shows like car 54, ( where are you) and the show The Munsters as Hermin Munster. Fred Gwynne also sang (baritone) on stage The Littlest Angel (1969) and later played important parts in the Broadway revival of Cat On A Hot Tin Roof (1974), Our Town (1975) at the American Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford, Connecticut, and A Texas Trilogy (1976), again on Broadway. He also was a radioman on a submarine chaser during WW11, then he graduated from harvard as an aspiring painter, Gwynne drew cartoons for the school's notorious humor magazine, “The Harvard Lampoon,” and later became president of the publication. He was writing and illustrating children’s books-really good ones. His two best-known titles, The King Who Rained and A Chocolate Moose for Dinner, attested to his love for puns and homonyms. They are those rare children’s tomes that are both goofy and sly, respecting the intelligence of children befuddled by the inanities of language. Well-loved by critics, they were also wildly popular, scoring positions on the bestseller list when published and still in print today.

Whenever you are in an argument with your spouse, just say "I'm a fast cook, I guess!" 9 times out of 10, it breaks the tension and you forget what the argument was about.

My school would air this everytime we took a school trip, everytime the teacher would bring the school TV on the bus, they'd plug it into the bus' power and we just had My Cousin Vinny playing. Was it educational? I guess, it learned me some law? But, it became one of my favorite movies. My High School was wierd, even during Biology class we'd just watch The Lion King which is how I was introduced to it. Srsly, we'd just watch Lion King. History, we'd watch movies on the regular, Social Studies we'd just watch Shakespeare plays and stuff. And Sunday school was the Earnest Movies. I swear, this town just sat ppl in front of TV's to let it teach them.

The set-ups and payoffs throughout the film are super good. Gotta remember too, within the film and the time it occurs, the public view of courtrooms and procedure was almost non-existent. Unless you were part of a trial itself you'd probably never seen what goes on in a courtroom from a trial sense. OJ's trial was really the big thing that kicked off the public's interest in the courtroom drama being so high profile. Nowadays there's almost an obsession with having cameras and recordings of every high profile court case that goes on.

Re: Andrew Dice Clay as Vinny - OUCH! Can you imagine if that would have happened? I mean, I probably would not have minded as I am one of the very few people who enjoyed _The Adventures of Ford Fairlane_ and Clay's style does match for the character of Vinny (Though he certainly never could have made as good a job as Pesci and the character would have been much less likeable in the end), but the most striking thing in my mind would be: If Clay had played Vinny, I am not sure that Marissa Tomei would have played Mona Lisa Vitto opposite him... And if she had turned down the role because of that, she never would have won an Oscar for that role (And I don't think anyone else would have in her role)! Talk about owing one to fate!

This movie was actually shot in Georgia, in a county I used to work in. That was the actual courthouse, and there was an actual store there they used. They shot many shows in movies in different counties I worked in. Fun stuff.

When we moved to Alabama, the first night we were awakened about 4 am by a train whistle on the tracks a block away. We immediately laughed at the thought of living in real-life My Cousin Vinny. The second night, the same thing happened and we wondered what we got into. After a week we slept through it and have done so ever since over 16 years.

There's an element of the story that never made it into the final cut that explains a lot of Vinny's behavior in the court room: he's dyslexic.

There is something so freaking sexy with women explaining things about cars. If they look like Marisa Tomei, my brain almost melts.

I won't reiterate all the points that everyone else makes here, but I will bring up my favorite thing about this movie. With the exception of the actual murderers, which are never on screen, there aren't any bad guys in this movie. Everyone is just doing their job or reporting what they think they saw. And after Vinny finished with his witnesses, and he realized that the kids were innocent, he didn't wait for the jury to decide. He dropped it. He was a little disgruntled, at first, but I think that was because he didn't like losing to Vinny, but he did what was right.
