Which movies based on John Grisham novels should be released on Blu-ray?

Personally, I pick The Firm, The Pelican Brief, The Rainmaker, A Time to Kill, and Runaway Jury.

A Time to Kill please.

Galactus · 06-27-2008, 01:43 AM

I would definitely buy Runaway Jury and The Client.

I would think about picking up The Firm and A Time To Kill.

Runaway Jury was the only one I liked.

They all should be released, I just won't be buying any.

I would vote none, Grisham books were good early on, but there has never a very faithful translation to film. The Firm comes closest but it kind of goes it's own way toward the end.

I really liked A Time to Kill when I saw it at the theater in college. Matthew M.'s performance in that movie was fantastic. Especially being so early in his career.

As much as I can't stand Tom Cruise's personal issues and beliefs, I would like to see "The Firm" on Blu-ray as it is an excellent book and movie.

Plus the Cayman scenes were actually filmed in Grand Cayman where I grew up. Although the hotel in the book, the Royal Palms, burned down in 1981 so they used the Hyatt Regency for the hotel scenes and the Holiday Inn for the night scenes.

The Hyatt's main building hasn't opened back up yet since Hurricane Ivan in 2004 and the Holiday Inn was demolished in the late 90's to build the monstrosity they now call the "Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman"

Shame, the Holiday Inn was where I grew up until I was old enough not to get carded at the Lone Star Bar and Grill.
