My Cousin VinneyI have now watched this film at least a dozen times and it still makes me laugh out loud. I can even snort/cry with laughter. If you haven't seen it, do try to. I am after a copy of the DVD off ebay...it's a real "feel good" film...brill for after a terrible day at work

His cousin gets wronfully arrested in a backwater as a murderer. He acts as his lawyer...pretending to stuffy local judge that he's an accomplished criminal defendent...he isnt...just qualisied after "correspondence" course of several years. He's brash Brooklyn in hicksville and has a series of disasters that makes you laugh out loud. Put it this way...if I could only own one film, it would be this!!!

It was a loooong time ago and I don't really remember how they tasted - a bit porridgey with butter stirred in maybe? I'll eat pretty much anything but I don't remember being too excited, lol Tell you what, I might get them out and give them a go tomorrow!

Oh poo, I can't find it. I did do a major clean-out of the kitchen ready for decorating (still not done!) and I reckon I might have thrown it out. I'll keep an eye out for it though. Because I KNOW you are on tenterhooks. Whatever they are.

All this excitement..as I'm not a yoot anymore I don't know if this excitement is good for me

Gosh, missed this one! I LOVE My Cousin Vinny - Joe Pesci was superb. I loved the way he gradually earned the respect of the old Southern judge. Great film.
Incidentally, the trial judge in the film was the wonderful Fred Gwynne - you may remember he played the part of Herman Munster for years.

You lot have just made me giggle reading through this and remembering the film. Who was it who played his girlfriend ? I can see her face (and hear the voice  )but can't put a name to her.

It was Marisa Tomai, and she won an Oscar for her performance in the film.
