In one famous scene there's a black sheriff in the Old West, beset by a mob, holds someone (himself) hostage in order to escape. It worked in the movie - but in real life not so much...this happened in "my own backyard" so to speak, which is why it caught my eye.

My Cousin Vinny - Mira Sorvino is brilliant.

Joe Pesci was smart enough to stay out of the way and let her have most of the attention and best lines. Her performance makes the movie great, no question. Just a great film start to final scene (with the "WOP" Sorvino making believers out of all of the yahoo rednecks). 

That climactic courtroom scene in "Vinny" is right up there with the cowboy bar- scene from "48 Hours" with Eddie Murphy/Nick Nolte
