Robert Duvall is adroit as the quirky Jerome Facher, a corporate lawyer whose experience predicts Schlichtmann’s every naive move. Best lawyer line goes to Facher: “Pride has lost more cases than lousy evidence, idiot witnesses and a hanging judge all put together.
A lawyer is forced to defend a guilty judge, while defending other innocent clients, and trying to find punishment for the guilty and provide justice for the innocent. An angry Al Pacino (is there any other kind?) plays Arthur Kirkland, the very best lawyer he knows in Baltimore.
The surprise, though, is the stupendous performance in the role of the judge by real-life lawyer Joseph Welch, who represented the Army in the McCarthy hearings. The plot skips nimbly through a thicket of ethical dilemmas involved in representing a murder defendant.
The film, which came and went in theaters in 2017 with little fanfare, stars Denzel Washington as the cranky, old-school lawyer of the title.
After the box-office success of movie adaptations of his novels The Firm and The Pelican Brief in 1993, plus his run on the best-seller list, the legal thriller writer looked untouchable.
Primal Fear (1996) Based on the 1993 William Diehl novel of the same name, this classic thriller has it all: murder, a possibly innocent man on trial, multiple personalities, and a driven defense attorney (Richard Gere) who's fighting for justice for his client.
The Firm (1993) As you can tell from the rest of this list, the '90s were a golden era of sleek, movie-star-packed legal thrillers, and they don't get much better than director Sydney Pollack's The Firm.
A Few Good Men (1992) Considering this list was inspired by the release of The Trial of the Chicago 7, we had to include Aaron Sorkin's debut film as a writer, the adaptation of the play that made him a star, A Few Good Men.
George Clooney made a career out of playing gray knights, and his work as the title character in this icy New York thriller might be the pinnacle of his work. Clayton is a super-cynical, debt-ravaged "fixer" stuck doing damage control amid a massive class-action lawsuit.
There are a lot of moving parts to A Few Good Men, but it centers around the murder of bullied Marine William Santiago (Michael DeLorenzo), and the two mismatched lawyers, JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore) and Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise), assigned to defend his accused killers, two fellow soldiers. That puts them up against Nicholson's sinister Colonel ...
And “Alvin and the Chipmunks,” did become the art director for “The Little Mermaid” TV show in 1992. His castle would be featured in promotional materials and posters during the movie’s theatrical release. It was used too in the home video cover—until about a year later in 1990, when complaints came in about the tower.
ENTERTAINMENT. Kris Aquino reveals she was never part of her mom’s inheritance, here’s why. He credited animator and producer Stephen Worth for the story, who worked in Bagdasarian Productions with the artist, who was identified as Ron Dias.

Last Feb. 14, Disney artist Dave Woodman, who worked on the animation for “The Little Mermaid,” “Beauty and the Beast” and “Aladdin,” shared the “truth” behind the art on Instagram. He credited animator and producer Stephen Worth for the story, who worked in Bagdasarian Productions with the artist, who was identified as Ron Dias. ...
According to Worth, Dias told him that he was commissioned to do the artwork “at the last minute” and that he had to work over the weekend to finish on time. “He was kind of punchy from lack of sleep towards the end and decided he’d put a little joke in it for himself, if you know what I mean,” said Worth.
