She was and is to this day a deeply talented and skilled actor. And yes, her performance in this film has completely skewed my standards for what I would want a future fiance to be like. :P

    Marissa Tomei is in an earlier film called Oscar (1991)... It stars Silvester Stalone and set in the prohibition era and is very funny... It is about a gangster who makes a promise to his father on his deathbed to go straight and what happens when he tried to do so. 😁

    It would be very hard for Google to exist 2 full years before the internet became available in the public domain.
    I know, I know, it's hard to imagine a world without the internet.
    Just imagine us old folks were actually young. We went out and bonked a wooly mammoth on the head, dragged it home to our cave for dinner, and spent all day finger-painting on the wall of our cave and wishing we had an internet to play with instead.
    It was exactly like that.
    Truly.

    16:26 I don't think that's an American thing but a New Yorker thing. I was born in Alabama, currently live in rural Georgia and I've never known anyone who shot a gun out the front door because of a screech owl. However, when I worked in New England, I met several New Yorkers who were terrified living out in the"country" (compared to home, there's no rural areas in CT). One woman (living in downtown Berlin) I knew had her mother come visit from Queens and she couldn't sleep because she was scared a bear was going to come eat her out there in the boonies.

    I can confirm that “My Cousin Vinny” clips played a role in my law school curriculum (at least as far as trial advocacy courses were concerned). Obviously, it is first and foremost a movie for entertainment purposes, but it’s revered and loved by many lawyers and law professors alike not only for its entertainment value, but also for the (relative speaking) legal accuracy. Film can be a powerful educational tool and it is a favorite of many law professors as a starting (and reinforcing) point when teaching trial advocacy strategies.
    As others have pointed out, it’s especially helpful in teaching good cross-examination strategy (the impeachment of each prosecution’s witness was masterful and very insightful for law students trying to get a handle on effective cross-examination). It also helps to show some court dynamics, gives an introduction into the differences between lay witness testimony versus expert opinion testimony (and the way you are supposed to qualify and introduce a witness as an expert). But it’s probably most instructive from a cross-examination witness impeachment perspective, as it highlights a lot of the do’s and dont's of effective cross examination like try to use leading (yes/no) questions as frequently as possible on cross-examination (often times by phrasing every question with some form of “isn’t it true that…” or “you previously testified that…, is that correct?”), never ask a question you don’t already know the answer to (the first defense lawyer’s failed impeachment of the one witness regarding his “reading glasses” being the best example of why you shouldn’t do that), the “feeding the witness a rope” strategy of boxing a witness into a corner where you are always in control of the conversation and get them to say exactly what you want the jury to hear and then get out once your point was made (Vinny’s impeachment of the same “self-respecting Southerner” witness was perfect to illustrate that, his whole goal from the start was to contradict the witness’s timeline to introduce reasonable doubt in the minds of the jury as to (1) the witness’s credibility and (2) by introducing an alternate theory of the case (two different similarly looking ‘youts’ did it) and he was going to string the witness along with careful, intentional, and leading questions that he knew the answer to every step of the way to get them there).
    It’s also a good lesson on composure and sticking it out instead of folding or rolling over when you have a judge that clearly doesn’t like you from the start (as that can be an extremely psychologically taxing feeling and absolutely affect performance if you let it get to you). There are definitely some really good lessons and trial techniques to be gleaned from My Cousin Vinny, and it helps that it’s such an entertaining movie (sure sticks with you much more than the textbooks about cross-examination at least)!
