New movie ( to me) and favorite: My Cousin Vinny.

Though I know this has been out since 1991, I had never seen it till a couple days ago. This had Joe Pesci, Fred ( Hermann Munster) Gwynne, Lane Smith, Ralph Maccio and the guy who was D-Day in: Animal House--as the sheriff of a hick town in Alabammy.

I'd known of the movie but had never seen it till TV land played it Friday. I thought it was pretty good and Pesci and Gwynne both--stole the show. Vinny kept being tossed into jail because he kept being in Contempt of court.

Anyway, its nice to experience a ''new'' good older movie for a change. Now that l got my comedy viewing out of the way, back to my regular scheduled programming---Westerns.

Good flick!
You named the rest, you did not name the best!
Marisa Tomei won an Oscar, Best Supporting Actress.

Ms Tomei saved the show at the end. Joe was good but not quite as good

I'm astounded that you never saw this movie. It's one of the funniest movies ever.

It was Fred Gwynn's last movie, he died of cancer shortly thereafter.

Marisa Tormei won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Monalisa Vito.

The case has been cited by real judges and lawyers as accurately portraying court room procedure. No less than Justice Scalia mentioned it in one decision.

Then there was Bill Belichick proclaiming that he was not the Monalisa Vito of football inflation pressures.

When I'm down south, I always make it a point to ask if they use real grits, because no self respecting southerner would use instant grits.

It's even funnier to me now, because my son and his family live in Alabama and my daughter in law is from New Jersey.

A few years ago, my wife and I stopped at place that could be the "Sack of Suds" on a road trip down there.

"Your honor, the two youts-"

"The two what?"

Great movie. I was surprised that Joe Pesci is as good in comedy as he is as a psychopathic gangster. But I agree with the above that Ms Tomei stole the show. It was also (as always good to see Fred Gwynn (sp). Enjoyed him in the old Munsters and before that Car 54 Where Are You. He was about the only good thing about the movie Pet Cemetery from the Stephen King book.

It was a pretty good B movie, but should have been named Vinny's cute cousin.

To me the best lawyer advice comes from Mona in a line I can't completely quote here. " it's called disclosure ya ****head". It infuriates me when they play it on a station that requires editing, in context you have to have the cussing or it's ruined.

Fantastic movie. Watched a few times. Never fails to entertain.

"Yutes"... that alone makes it a cult movie classic!!!

One of my favorites, I laugh Everytime I watch it!

I love when Tomei goes off on her Bambi tirade and then when she testifies, that is really some funny stuff!

Remember no self respecting Southerner makes instant grits!

Marisa Tomei in the skintight jumpsuit is a wonder to behold...

Impossible to pick a best line in the movie, but I love the screech owl scene.

"You got mud in your tires."

"Were famous for our mud."

Cpo1944 · Apr 3, 2016

I use the:
"You Need a New Thickness"
line all of the time and most folks know exactly what I mean.

GaryS · Apr 3, 2016

"Do your grits cook faster than anywhere else in the grit cooking world?"

"Are they magical grits? Did you get them from the same guy Jack got the beans from?"

"Are you sure about the five minutes? Are you sure about that five minutes?"

There are so many great lines that can be applied to so many situations.
