[YT Edit] Runaway Jury (2003)

Yep, Dazed & Confused = classic.

Jeff Rogers Gun companies and the NRA are separate things. Also, the NRA is a member organisation. Saying they have an "outsized" level of influence doesn't make any sense. Their power comes from the fact that they have a lot of votes when combined. If the members change their views the organisation is finished. Thats democratic.

Was just going to say this. A CIVIL ACTION is excellent. I like RUNAWAY JURY and ERIN BROCKOVICH, but the former is a cartoon and the latter is a fairy tale. A CIVIL ACTION is a great movie about a real case handled responsibly. Steven Zaillian is a genius.

Jason Chirevas

Cassie, you and Carly need to watch "The Sure Thing," which was John Cusack's first major movie role.

Michael Gilbrook

I highly recommend 1993's Dazed & Confused, celebrating it's 30th anniversary coming up on September 10th. An all-time classic. A fantastic "last day of school/coming of age"film, which introduced the world to Matthew McConaughey(as well as Ben Affleck).

Could the reaction library pls be fixed? It is nearly unusable in its current state :(

Dioskur

Yes, Jury service is real. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grnUvCNAfGA

Javier Hernandez

This is another fun John Cusack movie: Grosse Pointe Blank https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF7t91gbSf8

Cass and Carly always make me won’t to be better at using my Franklin Covey planner. Every year I buy the refills and then hardly ever use them.

Uncle Phoenix

Ah, Bruce McGill, the man who severed Everett's dreams.

Happy Hanukkah

Yep. And if you want to see him in another great courtroom scene, check out the movie The Insider. He's amazing in one scene in that movie (he only had a small part).

Stranger2Reality

He was D-Day in Animal House.

2-Can

I love this movie!

Anne-Marie Curtis

My mom and I have both been called for jury duty several times but always called the number the night before and said we didn't have to go.

Colin Gutierrez

High Fidelity is good too.

Jeff Rogers

She already did Say Anything. The best movie of his she hasn't done is Grosse Pointe Blank. [Late edit: I can't believe I forgot Better Off Dead.]

David Conroy

The judge was played by Bruce McGill. He was the Sheriff in My Cousin Vinny, and I think he was the congressman in Legally Blonde 2. He wasn't in the first one.

David Conroy

You know, I was a competitve shooter as a teenager. I had a moment, but I screwed up because my coach didn't tell me how I did, so I presumed I screwed up. Not so, I shot a 100 9xm beating a Junior Olympian who shot a 100 5x, but then fell short on my 2nd target as I thought I had screwed up. I have been an NRA member all my life and finally a few years ago paid the money to be a life member only to see the NRA go to hell. If you hate the NRA, you should be happy, it is over.

Richard Bourne

They are great, but I still hate the subject matter of this movie. It is dangerous, and the younger generaions simply don't realize that.

Richard Bourne

The 2nd Amendment exists for a reason. If you want to really understand the origins of that, start 4 minutes in and watch this speach. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aMNzrPovu8&t=887s

Richard Bourne

That movie was so much better than I anticipated. Great reaction ladies!

Terry Yelmene

Say Anything, probably John Cusack's most famous role.

Jeff Rogers

Seeing Dustin Hoffman and Gene Hackman in the same scene together overrides any controversial subject matter. Just sayin'........-Sir James

james flack

Cassie, Rachel Weisz was in a courtroom drama called Denial (2016) which is based on a true story.

Zachary K. (Verified Swiftie)

Just starting this now! I'm not big in requesting a movie for you to watch, however I know you would absolutely adore Secondhand Lions.

Chris Arthur

Another great one with Gene Hackman. I agree with you.

Pete

The Chamber I think is one of the more overlooked ones

Nathan Jasper, the Artist Formerly Known as Primary

I agree with the people saying you need to watch The Rainmaker for your next courtroom drama. Another kinda overlooked quality courtroom drama is A Civil Action with John Travolta. A little similar to Erin Brokovich in that it's based on a true story about contaminated water poisoning a town, only this was back in Massachusetts rather than out in California.

Stranger2Reality

The NRA is in shambles and a mere shadow of what it once was due to Wayne LaPierre and his corruption. Most gun companies are very small. Even Sturm Ruger & Company Inc, AFTER it bought Marlin still has a market cap of under one billion. A gun is a tool, a tool that can take lives or save lives depending on the user. Don't blame the tool.

Richard Bourne

I think you would also like "A civil action" very much. It really is a hidden gem. It's a courtroom drama based on a real case. And the acting is stellar, which is no suprise, because it features Robert Duvall, John Travolta, William H. Macy, James Gandolfini and many other well known actors. Too bad most people don't even know this movie exists.

BlueChip300

The Client is definitely another outstanding one! Grishams books adapted so well to the big screen.

Pete

Right.... And the NRA hasn't had an outsized level of influence over legislation either. Let's all weep for the companies that make guns. (And since I can't expect too much from conservatives, let me spell it out... That was sarcasm)

Jeff Rogers

cant wait until you watch the Rainmaker. best court room drama movie

zynjams

Caught it! Here you are. You're welcome.

Happy Hanukkah

Oh wait, now I remember why I largely forgot this movie, but it was a shameless anti-gun plot. You know, gun companies are not like oil, chemical, high tech, or auto manufacturers, they have far less money and influence.

Richard Bourne

Such a good one! That one and The Client both are top tier Grisham adaptations.

Nathan Jasper, the Artist Formerly Known as Primary

a great Dustin Hoffman movie is Little Big man. an anti western western

zynjams

Cassie, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE watch the Rainmaker. You will LOVE It!!!

Pete

Great cast. I somewhat remember this, in particular parts of it seems unlikely work with the passive influences used. Too perfect if you know what I mean. Very few cases can afford a jury consultant and to spend so much on voir dire which is the jury selection process.

Richard Bourne

I don't think I've ever seen this one. At first I thought it might be the one with Demi Moore and Alec Baldwin but that was "The Juror" (I think.)

Jeffrey Schmidbauer

What's creepy? I don't get it
