The 20 Best Movies About Law and Justice, Ranked by Whatnerd

"It's easy to forget how powerful movies can really be. Their ability to stir up emotions and inspire change is unmatched, which is why movies are so effective as propaganda—or simply as motivating stories. One of the most important messages in all of cinema is the value of justice and the importance of law upheld. There have been so many films about these themes, tackling subjects spanning racism, sexism, discrimination, corruption... the whole nine yards. Justice is a wide thematic scope and can include anything from 'The Batman' ("I'm Vengeance") to 'Kill Bill' ('That woman deserves her revenge, and we deserve to die'). So, I'm going to narrow the scope. Here are my picks for the best movies about law and justice, specifically films that have an overt tie in to the law and legal system." - whatnerd.com
