I guess Showtime is on a JG phase cause I've watched The Firm and Runaway Jury recently and thought they were great. Runaway Jury was phenomenal and I think will rank above The Firm for me.

I need to go watch his others. The casting on all the movies is amazing...

Runaway Jury: John Cusak, Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, Rachel Weisz, Jeremy Piven, Bruce McGill

The Firm: Tom Cruise, Gene Hackman, Holly Hunter, Ed Harris, Gary Busey

The Pelican Brief: Denzel Washington, Julia Roberts, Sam Shepard, Stanley Tucci, John Heard, John Lithgow

A Time to Kill: Matthew McConaughey, Sandra Bullock, Sam L Jackson, Kevin Spacey, Kiefer Sutherland, Donald Sutherland, Ashley Judd, Oliver Platt, Chris Cooper, Octavia Spencer

The Client: Susan Sarandon, Tommy Lee Jones, Mary-Louise Parker, Anthony Edwards, Kim Coates, Will Patton

I miss movies like this where there's no gimmicks and CGI crutch leaning. Great stories with great acting.

What are ya'll's favorite JG movie?

Gimme Randy Travis attacking Jon Voight.

Rainmaker is a great movie.

Damon, before he became a puts
Devito
Claire Danes
Jon voight
Mickey rourke
Virginia madsen
Danny glover
Dean stockwell
Randy Travis

Justice for Donnie Ray.
And I hope somewhere Deck finally passed the bar.

I also have a soft spot for Pelican Brief. I would watch every movie Denzel and Julia make. Great pairing that should be revisited.

A Tike to Kill is one of my favorite books, the movie is great but doesn’t even come close to the book.

I wish Playing for Pizza would be made into a movie
