In Cold Blood — 3 years ago

I finally saw “In Cold Bold” and I am baffled how it made it on this list. Not for the quality of the movie, but because it isn’t a courtroom drama. The film had TWO minutes inside a courtroom consisting of the closing argument of the Prosecutor. That’s it. Every other film here has all or most of the action in the courtroom (except Kramer vs. Kramer which is also a stretch but not nearly this bad).

Looks like AFI had trouble filling the Top 10s and finding room for certain films.
