Joe Pesci led the way in My Cousin Vinny (Picture: 20th Century)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

One of the biggest comedies of the 90s could be the latest in a long line of sequels, with some of the star-studded cast getting in on the action.<\/p>\n

My Cousin Vinny was released in 1992, and followed hapless New York<\/a> lawyer Vinny (Joe Pesci) who had never won a case.<\/p>\n

He found himself at the center of a packed courtroom<\/a> when he stepped in to defend his young cousin Bill (Ralph Macchio) and his friend, Stan (Mitchell Whitfield) who were accused of murder in Alabama.<\/p>\n

Home Alone icon Joe<\/a> led the cast, which was also made up of Marisa Tomei, Maury Chaykin, Paulene Myers and Fred Gwynne, while Jonathan Lynn served as director.<\/p>\n

The movie proved a huge hit and is still quoted between fans today, which has led to discussions of a possible revival.<\/p>\n

Speaking to People Magazine about the success while at PaleyFest in LA over the weekend, Ralph teased that Bill, Vinny and co could return to our screens.<\/p>\n

\u2018Yeah, I’ve had conversations with other writers about that,\u2019 he told the outlet of a possible sequel. \u2018That one’s a beloved piece.<\/p>\n

\u2018It’s about finding the smart angle in.\u2019<\/p>\n

Ralph also shared how Joe could get involved in the project, suggesting: \u2018He could FaceTime it in here.\u2019<\/p>\n

My Cousin Vinny is available to stream on Disney+ in the UK and Hulu in the US \u2013 those in America can also stream it on Amazon Prime Video for the next few days, before it quietly leaves the platform.<\/p>\n

The flick hit the big screen more than three decades ago, and has remained a firm favorite with film fans.<\/p>\n

It also did well with critics, and led to a best supporting actress Oscar for Marisa, thanks to her role as Vinny\u2019s fianc\u00e9e, Mona Lisa Vito.<\/p>\n

Over on Rotten Tomatoes, My Cousin Vinny currently commands a huge 85% critics score, compared to an audience rating of 87%.<\/p>\n

Mark G raved: \u2018One of the greatest movies ever. Not just greatest comedy or greatest courtroom movie, greatest, period. Tremendous cast, clever script and story. Impossible to not love this film.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Marisa Tomei & Joe Pesci are one of the best film duos ever. This is possibly the funniest court “dramedy” ever. Tomei deserved that Oscar,\u2019 Caleb J said.<\/p>\n

\u2018All of the performances are so charming and the story is so much fun from beginning to end,\u2019 Glen A agreed.<\/p>\n

As Noah B penned: \u2018One of my favorite movies, it is near perfect.\u2019<\/p>\n
