New York lawyer Vinny has never won a case. When his teenage cousin Bill and his friend Stan are accused of murder in a backwater Alabama town, it's up to the nervous Vinny to save him from jail, even though he's only ever tried personal injury cases before, and none of them successfully.

still can’t believe that anyone was upset she won the Oscar for this role. look up the rest of the best supporting actress nominees for that year: all of them in a bunch of movies that no one remembers. meanwhile, this is a classic, in part because of her.
She is so adorable in this clip. How can you not just fall in love with her? The Oscar was very well deserved.
Something rarely talked about, Vinny's secondary motivation was to let Lisa not just help with the case, as he'd been consistently refusing to do, but actually shine on the stand. It was an extended apology for humiliating her in the diner.
Mechanic Dad: "Girl, you gonna learn all of this car info. One day it'll save someone's life" Mechanic's Daughter: "Dad wasn't lying"
Iconic. This movie is great, either way but Marisa Tomei destroyed the room. And stole thousands of hearts in the process. Iconic.
My favorite part of this performance is when she breaks down limited-slip-differential, solid rear axle, and independent suspension, her hands perfectly illustrate their respective action, just like a seasoned Italian auto mechanic from Brooklyn would! I would like to believe Ms. Tomei really understood the mechanics of these automotive features because of how natural and effortless she made it look.
“No, the defense is wroooong”
The look on the judges face the whole time just makes this scene that much better 😂
ladies and gentlemen, you’ve just watched an Oscar performance 😂
Lmao Vinny putting his feet up at 1:00 always gets me like he knew his girl got this sh1t locked down😂 forever such a well earned Oscar for Marisa Tomei
Love how the judge is skeptical at first, but then just looks on in awe and wonder as she rattles off her encyclopedic knowledge😂
No, there's moar!
Woth noting that this movie is still, to this very day, used in law schools to demonstrate how to question an expert witness.
I love her little "Ya damn right I'm acceptable" nod to the judge.
Marisa Tomei, my first crush. 😍 30 yrs later, she's still drop dead gorgeous. I love this movie.
No one ever mentions that the defense lawyer had to figure this out first to get her to confirm it. He realized this staring at the pictures, which means he had to know it, too. And he knew she'd know it. Probably some conversation they'd had at some point, that he remembered... Like with the grits.
These five minutes alone deserve the Oscar. The fact that she was this good thru the whole movie just proves it more. 100% Marisa Tomei stole the show with her performance.
This never gets old.
“They wuh!”
She's so cute in her response!...I never get tired of watching this clip. Always makes me smile.
