Sally Waters asks about "legal movies" for the video collection at her law library. Several possible categories beyond those she summarizes come to mind (though you may actually already have these, Sally): For example, documentaries -- several of Frederick Wiseman's [he's a lawyer by training] documentaries are directly about law and its administration: TITICUT FOLLIES, JUVENILE COURT, WELFARE . . . and are available now on VHS (there's a filmography and address in Benson & Anderson REALITY FICTIONS (1989) & Anderson & Benson DOCUMENTARY DILEMMAS (1991).) Wiseman's own story of his career describes how he first became interested in making TITICUT FOLLIES, about the Bridgewater Correctional Institution when he took his law students there to show them what the legal system did to people. That logic suggests a law-video library that goes beyond films about lawyers. You might also want to consider not courtroom lawyers but law-making and law-enforcing . . . as in films about Congress (from MR. SMITH GOES TO WASHINGTON . . .); films about the blacklist (THE FRONT; GUILTY BY SUSPICION). And there is the theme of the failure or absence of law -- and various alternatives -- in such films as SILKWOOD, Z, ALL THE PRESIDENT'S MEN . . . It suddenly gets to be a very big list, doesn't it? How about posting a listing of those films you do have to SCREEN-L for general edification? Tom Benson Penn State t3b@psuvm
