Cast: JoePesci (Vinny Gamibini), Ralph Macchio (Billy), Marisa Tomei (Mona Lisa Vito)
Dir. : Jonathan Lynn
Quirky rookie of a lawyer, Vinny, descends with his garrulous fiance on an Atlanta small town court to save his cousin along with his friend from a possible death penalty. To all appearances he does everything to fail in the case because of his colossal ignorance and lack of experience; however he pulls out a surprise in the end by making smart moves and by exposing the falsity of the witnesses. He goes on to win the case, barely escaping jail and severe sentence for himself.
IMDB summary:
"While heading for college, Bill and Stan are arrested in Alabama when circumstances point to them as having murdered a convenience store clerk. Unable to afford an attorney, they turn to Bill's cousin Vinny, a brash New Yorker who took six tries to pass his bar exam. Worse, until now he's only taken personal injury cases, none of which have gone to trial. Dragging along his even more abrasive fiancee Mona Lisa Vito, Vinny will have to straighten up fast, and keep out of jail himself, if he's going to win the case."
