Hey friends!
Thanks for understanding about me getting SICK last week! I'm on the up and up now and I am crossing all my fingers and all my toes that my family is spared from this. I would not wish it on my worst enemy-only Castor Troy. Besides my time on the bathroom floor, things are good! It is my oldest birthday today and he is the sweetest and it has been so fun to celebrate him. He wanted ling ling potstickers (like from costco) chocolate covered strawberries and a 49ers hoodie!
This week is the POPPIES! Can't wait! I just have 368 little things to do before then and we are in business ;) SHOW BUSINESS! Seriously though, I hope to see you there! Because I know better this year, I only have one reaction coming this week with Frequency (and catching up with Planet of the Apes 2)
I will also be posting a courtroom poll this week! We haven't had one in forever and talking with my cousin this week about John Grisham and now I want a great courtroom film!
Speaking of my cousin, she was on the p2g podcast this week-"Cinema Code Blue" and it was so fun! Check out the new episode on patreon now or YT/podcast players tomorrow!
Hope you are all having a great week! Stay healthy and happy and I'll see you at the Poppies!
Cassie

hahaha I didn't expect "KatWatchesHorromovies" to make a cameo... She should collaborate with Cassie in watching horror content THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. Screw the Halloween October wait and let Kat torture cassie watching horror stuff throughout her channel all the time!

Any ETA on Frequency?

I remember having Norovirus a few years ago, boy, you really do get to know the details around the toilet bowl whilst you’re camped out on the floor in front of it. Between projectile vomiting I noticed that I really needed to touch up the paint around the cistern and really give those pipes a good clean.
Clay F
That's like my No. 1 suggestion for courtoom drama poll. The movie has courtoom scenes. "In the Name of the Father" (1993). Nominated for 7 Oscars including Best Picture, Best Actor (Daniel Day-Lewis), Best Actress (Emma Thompson), Best Director.
SeanATX
It's not strictly a courtroom movie (more of a prison movie tbh), and likely will never win a poll, but how about IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER. True story I think Cassie would really like
Milton William Burray
Hopefully there will be a G.H poll and Class Action is on it
cfb0453
In memory of Gene Hackman (one of the greatest actors of all time) who was discovered deceased earlier today, I would like to recommend the legal drama "Class Action", co-starring Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (the girl from "The Abyss"). An excellent, modest little film about an estranged father and daughter on opposing legal teams in the same civil case. I think Cassie will find the film very rewarding. R.I.P. Gene Hackman (1930-2025) 😩
Chris Thom
Yeah he said himself those were his vision board years. He literally wrote himself a check for thirty million dollars before any of the films came out and dedicated himself to making hits. And now he's in his contemplative 'what did any of it mean' years.
Clarence Newman
"There are no other cases. This is the case."
Dean Holt
Yes Man is a fun film too, I also like Me Myself and Irene lol. But when talking about Carey I always find it crazy he did Dumb and Dumber, The Mask and Ace Ventura all in 1994.
Clay F
+1 for Bonnie and Clyde (1967) (AFI Top 100) Mississippi Burning (1988)
Chris Thom
Yes Man has a lot of rewatch/entertainment value IMO. Nice message to it too.
bgb1975 (Brian)
Objection! "And Justice For All"
Rose
I really enjoyed “Love & Mercy.” That’s a good one! I hope the next Britney movie will be 1000x time better. I recently bought her memoir but haven’t read it yet. My mom definitely has some stories and she’s seen a lot of bad and good people incarcerated. Suge looks intimidating but my mom despite her being petite was kind but firm when she interacted with him and the other inmates. She’s saved lives and seen death but she was always excited about her work even tho she really disliked nursing. She always dreamed of becoming a lawyer and decided to study part-time at UC Berkeley when she first immigrated to the States but before she could enter campus a naked hippie approached her and she got scared lol and never returned. Definitely wasn’t her vibe. She tried again at USC but she had a heart attack - too much stress working three jobs and taking care of family and school.
Clarence Newman
Nobody has mentioned The Verdict for a few hours, therefore…..The Verdict.
Rose
Rooting for “The French Connection” - his first Oscar win. So sad that to hear the news of Gene Hackman and his wife and their dog.
TheSingulatarian
Lots of Gene Hackman movies to choose from. "Bonnie and Clyde" to "The Royal Tenenbaums". His last film "Welcome to Mooseport" isn't very good so I'm going to go with Tenenbaums because it is a great move and fitting goodbye to Gene Hackman.
Matt Rose
my ranking as well.
Matt Rose
Hi Cassie: May I respectfully suggest a Gene Hackman poll? With his passing, it's unfortunately incredibly relevant. So many great, great films of his for you to see.
Brent Petty
I knew it was something absurd. :)
Clay F
Liar Liar has held up well. My No. 3 favorite Jim Carey movie. 1. Eternal Sunshine 2. The Truman Show 3. Liar Liar
Chris Thom
Me and Laptop will be attending Joaquin Phoenix-style. I may even take a shower first.
Chris Thom
Brian Wilson's story is really wild...with his psychiatrist who basically conservator-shipped and controlled him kind of like what happened with Britney. That's another fascinating true to life movie: Love & Mercy. Would be a good one for the channel. Suge Knight always scared the crap out of me. Even before everyone knew what he was up to. Sounds like your mom could write a book, if she hasn't already. I'd definitely read it.
Dean Holt
I thought she had seen them but wasn’t one hundred percent sure 👍🏻. Rewatched Liar Liar recently and it’s still holds up very well.
Rose
I need to checkout the series. My mom actually enjoyed working at the jail - more so than her short-lived stint at Cedars. Henry Fonda was one of her nicest patients and she got to meet Jane. Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys was another fav but definitely not Elizabeth Taylor who treated the nurses like her personal maids. My mom had the best experience working at the jail tho - she literally saved a deputy’s neck from being snapped in half by an inmate. She got to know John Orr a bit and this mysterious ninja assassin and “Death Row” (aka Suge Knight). In fact, the medical staff at the jail where my mom worked was very good. Some of the best doctors work there and a lot of the recidivists are happy to come back bc they know their medical needs are fulfilled along with free food and a bed.
Mike Lemon
@Stick - Why would you spoil it like that?
JPDotCom23
Steven Spielberg's Amistad
D. T. Nelson
That is part of it, but there is another big part of the story layered on top of it. I think Stir of Echos is more like the movie Flatliners than it is Frequency (but maybe that's just because Kevin Bacon is in both Stir of Echos and Flatliners and both movies are related to ghosts).
Chris Thom
I need to see the ending to that again. I remember it being a true story but can't recall how it all played out. Pretty sure it's a famous case in law schools.
David Collins
Clay had "Amistad" (1997) on his list. I felt it deserved to be on a comment by itself. Easily one of my most memorable movie experiences ever, let alone among court room dramas. It is a genuine masterpiece.
Chris Thom
I know I saw it at the theater but I think I always get it mixed up with Stir of Echos. Is there an unsolved crime in it? Or a murder being prevented or something?
Chris Thom
Damn that would be scary. Never really considered health care in jail but yeah I guess they need medical like any one else. I think OJ was right next to one of the brothers' cells. At least that's what the show portrayed. I was young when the case happened and it's pretty fuzzy but I do remember OJ kind of wiping them off the news for a while. The series is really interesting. Cast did amazing.
David
Wonka tells me wondrous story of how a young dreamer named Willy Wonka becomes the worlds greatest imventor magiicion and chocolate maker dicover how Willy became Wonka Amazing and fantastic Wonka film it it tasty movie
Rose
My mom was an RN with the L.A. Sheriff’s Dept during the Menendez Brothers’ trial. They were one of her patients. They were in separate cells in front of their nursing station - along with other K-10 inmates - and across from The Menendez Brothers’ cells was the notorious John Orr. The FBI considered Orr to be the most prolific serial arsonist of the 20th century. OJ Simpson was another one of her patients and he once asked to hold her hand outside his cell door. She just left his pills by the opening and left with the deputies very creeped out.
Chris Thom
Think it was a green jelly bean that almost ended her.
Steve
The Sicario movies are kinda hard-hitting, without being too heavy, somehow. Emily Blunt is great in the first one.
Chris Thom
Chicago 7 was pretty great. I still need to see In the Name of the Father.
Chris Thom
This isn't a movie but a mini-series. Monsters: The Menendez Brothers was the most recently released, and most compelling courtroom thing I've seen in a while.
Clay F
To Kill A Mockingbird is noted as "seen" at popcornrequests. com If you ever want to check (takes less than a minute) if she has seen a movie, go to popcornrequests. com
Stephen Malloy
The verdict is in. If The Verdict doesn't win, I demand a mistrial and some habeas corpus to go.
Chris Thom
Kramer is a classic. The Client might be the most entertaining for her but I don't know.
Clay F
A plus for Devil's Advocate (1997) is has Charlize Theron and Connie Nielsen. My top recommendation for her for an Al Pacino movie is "Donnie Brasco" (1997) w/Johnny Depp. Based on true story. In her collection and has 47 requests at popcornrequests.
Chris Thom
I watched that one in school. Great cast.
Raieldon
Was thinking it would fun to check off every highest grossing film from every year. After 3 Men And A Baby, Cassie's already completed the whole 1980s. Kramer vs Kramer would be a great start to the 70s, and we all know what 1973 would entail...
Chris Thom
Agree. I think it could play outside of October too.
Raieldon
I convinced Movies With Mary to watch that one and she super enjoyed it. It fits Cassie 100%
Stick Figure Studios
I'm not.
Stick Figure Studios
I love THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE. Pacino is my favorite cinematic Satan.
Raieldon
Lately I've been thinking about how underrated The Devil's Advocate (1997) is, and how it fits a lot of your particular tastes. I daresay that I think it would land the yuppie parable more resonantly than American Psycho as well.
Mike Lemon
Cassie has mentioned seeing it in school as well.
Joel Wayne
I presume "To Kill A Mockingbird" has already been seen by Cassie........since it was only mentioned once in over 100 comments. I know we watched it in school in my day but not sure if they still do that.
Joel Wayne
Schools probably wouldn't allow a shirt like that these days.....but it'd be a fun shirt
Joel Wayne
You sure that didn't mean it was just overwriting your previous entry??
Joel Wayne
Clearly I don't pay attention to something.
BlueChip300
I highly recommend "A Civil Action" (1998) for the courtroom poll. It's a hidden gem that's based on real events. And the cast is stacked: - John Travolta - Robert Duvall - William H. Macy - James Gandolfini - Tony Shalhoub - Sydney Pollack and the list goes on.
Mike Lemon
Since nobody wanted those ones enough, I propose they not be included in the next pole. We'll probably just have to go with Indictment: The McMartin Trial (1995). It has never lost a pole so it's the obvious one to watch.
Clay F
That's good FYI
Stranger2Reality
The Rainmaker is also very much a courtroom drama, unlike some other ones I see people mention, during which very little of the movie takes place in a courtroom. IMO The Rainmaker is easily the best Grisham adaptation, hands down.
Clay F
Yeah, IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER is the best movie on my list.
Matt Rose
IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER is so good. Highly, highly recommended.
Clay F
Your cousin (I assume first cousin) was great on the podcast. That's wild you two have been best friends since you were kids. Suggested poll candidates for courtoom drama in random order: 1. "The Trial of the Chicago 7” (2020) 2. "In the Name of the Father” (1993). Daniel Day-Lewis. IMDb 8.1, RT 94% 3. "The Accused” (1988). Jodie Foster 4. "The Lincoln Lawyer” (2011). Matthew McConaughey. Marisa Tomei. 5. "Marshall" (2017). Chadwick Boseman. Kate Hudson. Based on true story. 6. “Amistad” (1997) [Spielberg]. Djimon Hounsou [the guy in Blood Diamond and Gladiator (2000)]. Matthew McConaughey. Morgan Freeman. Anthony Hopkins. 7. "Judgment at Nuremberg” (1961). IMDb 8.3, RT=93%. Spencer Tracy, Burt Lancaster, and more. You have in your collection. May be a little dry for the channel but I like it. Can stream on multiple platforms, and currently steaming for FREE on YouTube.
Cole Jennett
FYI, Movies that remain unwatched that were on the last Courtroom polls were: The Verdict Presumed Innocent Judgement at Nuremberg The Lincoln Lawyer The Client The Rainmaker Kramer v Kramer The Hurricane The Judge Woman in Gold Sleepers
Clay F
+ 1 for "In The Name of the Father" +1 for "Marshall". Based on true story about the great jurist Thurgood Marshall's early career as a lawyer. I also like The Lincoln Lawyer and The Hurricane. She has already reacted to Just Mercy. Excellent reaction. She has seen Liar Liar (one of my favorite Jim Carrey movies).
V M
I also voted a whole bunch of times. It's the only way :P
Clay F
+1 for Finding Forrester.

Been wanting you to check out Frequency since your channel started! :) Now just waiting for That Old Feeling, Finding Forrester and The Exorcist lol
Björn Karlsson
Yeah it's a good one, and there are really good ones made in "The nordics" as well 😃😃🇫🇮🇸🇯🇸🇪🇩🇰🇦🇽😃😃
Chris Thom
RIP Brad. Gone way too soon.
Sam Wilson
I believe you can because when you finish with the form it gives you the choice to resubmit another entry so I took advantage of that multiple times!
Mike Lemon
Like I said, not to spoil the movie. The evidence in McMartin was different. The trial (edit- case) took about 2300 days.
Philip Alan
As a Rams fan... same.
Philip Alan
Somehow I made it through...
Clarence Newman
For his birthday, I think Cassie should give her son a t-shirt with her face on it, which says "My Mom's More Famous Than Your Mom!" It would be the perfect thing to wear to school.
Variable38
After how well "Son in Law" went over, Im surprised no one has Mentioned "Jury Duty"
cfb0453
Hi Cassie, Sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well lately, but thank God you're on the mend! I have to agree with everyone here in the comments, "The Verdict" is a great courtroom drama and classic Newman. Next to "The Hustler" (another Newman classic) it's the performance he should've been given an Oscar for. Perhaps that film should be watched separate from any polls. Just a thought. Happy birthday to your eldest!
Shehab Dawoud
@Chris Yeah it's very good. OJ: Made in America is also one of the best documentaries ever. I honestly doubt if Cassie knows too much about OJ, for some reason. @Mike Well, one of the reasons why the OJ case was so big was because the evidence was so overwhelming. I mean, it really was a no-brainer. Only the climate at that time, some incompetence, and the genius of Johnnie Cochran made sure it wasn't.
V M
James Woods, good actor
V M
They hibernate in her colon
Clarence Newman
That's very true, Matt. I became a Wilford Brimley fan because of that movie.
Rose
The Client - Brad Renfro was so incredibly talented. He and River Phoenix and Jonathan Brandis were some of my favorite actors that all had tragic endings.
Milton William Burray
@Chris The first half is a prison/youth detention movie, the second half a legal drama
Mike Lemon
Not to spoil the movie about it [ Indictment: The McMartin Trial (1995) ] but there wasn't the kind of evidence like in OJ.
Chris Thom
Haven't seen Anatomy of the Fall yet...but think it won some awards. Mom and dad said it was really good.
Chris Thom
GREAT series. Haven't seen that in a while. But if she hasn't seen it that would be fun. But feels like everyone has seen it already.
Chris Thom
I remember Sleepers being good. But I'm blanking on the courtroom aspect. Thought it was about vigilantes.
Chris Thom
We can vote multiple times? Seriously?
Rose
Glad to hear you’re feeling better. I’m so excited for your reaction to Frequency! Hope Carly will join you. Plus hope your oldest has a great b-day! Highly recommend Judgment at Nuremberg (1961) for upcoming courtroom poll. Legendary WWII pilot Robert “Rosie” Rosenthal from MoTA served as the assistant to the U.S. prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials. Also he interrogated infamous Nazi leader and war criminal Hermann Göring (who was a highly decorated flying ace and commanded the Luftwaffe). The film is a fictionalized version of the Nuremberg tribunal but it’s critically acclaimed with an all-star cast and incredible performances.
David Livingston
"Frequency" is a FANTASTIC movie!!! You will enjoy it, I'm sure!! I hope you're feeling better! Get rest and drink plenty of water. Take care.
Shehab Dawoud
I don't know too much about that one, I'd have to read up on it. Was the evidence as overwhelming as OJ's? With OJ it was more than just him. It was about the state of the country at the time, particularly in LA and what had happened in previous years.
Cole Jennett
@Clayton You are 100% correct sir😂
Chris Thom
I pushed for it on your behalf. Even sent a DM.
Chris Thom
Happy birthday to your son! Omg I also eat those Costco potstickers constantly. Lol. At least three times a month. Looking forward to the Poppies. And I know many, many people on the channel are going to be very, very happy you are reacting to Frequency.
Matt Rose
it's a good movie that becomes amazing once Wilford Brimley shows up in the third act and steals the film. There's no way that it'd win in a poll but it's very much worth watching.
Chris Thom
Good one. Rainmaker might be perfect.
Joe
Garner passed at 86, Sutherland at 88. Clint is 95 this year! Life seems short even when you live that long. As a song once said, "We are but a moment's sunlight fading in the grass".
Mike Lemon
The McMartin trial puts OJ to shame. McMartin was the longest trial in U.S. history and really kicked off the "Satanic Panic", OJ was just a spectacle because it was The Juice.
Clarence Newman
I think Cassie would love Absence of Malice, but I'd give it about 2% on a poll.
Clarence Newman
You're out of order, Brian!
Clayton Johnson
Then I would expect since your a Rider fan, then it should be a Bunny hug not a hoodie. lol
Clarence Newman
Just finished watching Undisputed, Mike. Thanks for the suggestion. Good movie, and Ving Rhames was perfect in the role of Chambers. Kind of wanted a bit more at the end, though. Did he do the crime? Did he not do the crime? Just needed that little bit more.
Cole Jennett
She did Philadelphia (1993) already Matt, I believe from the last time she did a courtroom poll
Cole Jennett
Her kids were born in the U.S. so their exposure to NFL would be much higher than CFL. Besides, I’d be pushing the Rough Riders😂
Hollis Hamilton
If you want time spent in the courtroom. The Rainmaker is Grisham's best, with Matt Damon and Claire Danes. The Verdict is a great courtroom drama with Paul Newman, directed by Sidney Lumet, who was the director of Twelve Angry Men, and the screenplay is by David Mamet.
rakesh
Presumed Innocent Is great Courtroom Drama with Harrison Ford.
Archronos
One of the best father-son films there is
Andrew Taylor
The Verdict would be excellent choice for courtroom
Joe
I have seen it only once myself when it came out, don't remember any details really. No reason she wouldn't like it.
Stephen Dias
Oh nice! I'm looking forward to her reaction to "Frequency." Great movie!
Clayton Johnson
I understand the NFL hoodie, but has your kid heard of the Stampeders or Eskimos/Elks? not knowing which part of Alberta your from.

Frequency is an underrated GEM of a movie. Probably a bit short, but seriously approaching masterpiece level entertaining. Looking forward to seeing it again. Hope Carly comes along!!
Happy Hanukkah
For the Paul Newman poll, Where the Money Is (2000). :-) OK, I'm just partial to Linda Fiorentino.
Stick Figure Studios
Yup. He should have won the Oscar for best actor in '82 instead of the one he got later for THE COLOR OF MONEY, but he had the misfortune of going up against Ben kingsley's uncanny portrayal of Gandhi that year.
Sam Wilson
Thanks! If only I'd read the entire voting form instead of just voting 50 times I would have known that!

Amen to separate polls for newer vs older films. Should be a standing rule. Newer will always win due to recency bias.

So glad to see frequency up for reaction.
Blaze118
Happy to see Frequency coming up. As for courtroom poll. Anyone else feeling Rules of Engagement
Just Plain Bob
I hope “Presumed Innocent”, based on the book of the same name by Scott Turow, is among the choices on the poll. For my money, Turow is a better writer than Grisham. Also, the movie stars Harrison Ford.
Louisa Moritz
Same question ❓
Jake McNulty
@Mike LL That's been corrected.

In other words, no re-trials!!

Too bad there isn't a punch card for getting sick and you can get a free sandwich or something. Can't be there live, but will watch later.
Jake McNulty
+ 1 for "In The Name of the Father"
Mike LL
You have a very fine list, but seem to be lacking The Rainmaker (1997). I would file suit, but I think further testimony may be needed. Please call a hearing while I round up the usual suspects!!
Sam Wilson
Very happy you are on the mend Cassie! As I'd like to be in my recliner with popcorn at the ready (crunch n' munch actually), I kind of worked out from the post on Instagram yesterday that the Poppies should begin around 3:00 p.m. mountain time , anybody know if that actually is the start time? Thanks in advance! 😀
Mike LL
Mike, I think you owe some sincere gratitude to yourself!
Above Average Dave
Jimmy Woods! Always all in on every role.
Dean Holt
Glad your feeling better, also happy you’re watching Frequency. Even though I voted for Space Cowboy, glad your reacting to it because I know it was a popular choice even before the poll. Also very happy you’re going back to Courtroom drama movies. Really hope you finally get to watch The Rainmaker, The Client is also a good John Grisham film. Just a thought you could watch the top two or three 🤔😉 But here’s a few others I’d recommend Rules of Engagement (Sam Jackson & Tommy Lee Jones) The Lincoln Lawyer (Matthew McConaughey & Marisa Tomei) In The Name of the Father (Daniel Day Lewis) The Hurricane (Denzel) The Judge (Robert Downey Jr & Robert Duvall) Marshall (Chadwick Boseman, Josh Gad & Kate Hudson) Not sure if you’ve already seen these. Just Mercy (Michael B Jordan & Jamie Fox) Liar Liar (Not a drama but it’s a fun film)
Mike Lemon
More people should listen to that Lemon guy. He has some great ideas and a good taste in moves.
Matt Rose
Ha! Funny how it came out to look that way. Of those, THE VERDICT is definitely the one that I'd champion the hardest. It's fantastic and Paul Newman puts in arguably his best acting performance. To that end, we could do a Paul Newman poll. THE VERDICT, ABSENCE OF MALICE, NOBODY'S FOOL, COOL HAND LUKE, and a plethora of others. CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF, HUD...just a ton of great movies.
Clarence Newman
Did someone mention The Verdict? Legendary Newman.
Clarence Newman
Matt has put THE VERDICT first and in BLOCK CAPITALS, clearly showing what a great and popular movie it is. The rest is clearly the result of his Caps Lock button getting stuck. 😄
Archronos
We are BLESSED this week. Reaction queen is on the mend and we are getting Frequency! Thank you Cassie!

I've heard great things about it from this Mike Lemon character, though I have no frame of reference for his taste in movies. HOWEVER! I am watching Undisputed with my female tonight, so we're gonna find out.
Clarence Newman
Always worth mentioning, Joe.
Mike Lemon
I've heard great things about Indictment: The McMartin Trial (1995) from one of the Patreon supporters. After their glowing recommendation I watched and I have to agree. I think I'll watch it again tonight since it was so good.
Clarence Newman
Welcome back to the land of the living, Cassie. While you've been laid up in bed, your motley crew of patrons has been walking up and down the corridors like Mickey and Paulie in Rocky 2. Now you're awake, I want you to know that I've been thinkin..... "If you don't wanna be messin with the OG Planet of the Apes no more, we'll figure out some other kinda way, ya know?" As for the courtroom dramas, I've done a quick count and there are at least 72 suggestions for THE VERDICT with Paul Newman (no need to check - my word is oak), so maybe you could watch that one anyway and put all the others on a poll. Happy to see you well again. I always feel partially responsible when you're not.😞
Larry Darrell
Thank You so much for Frequency… John Grisham’s, The Rainmaker (1997) is a Must… and might as well throw in John Grisham’s, The Client (1994). Not so much Courtroom, but awesome Legal Thriller.
Larry Darrell
Sometimes after a good sickness that causes delays, I think she’s looking for an easy kickstarter to get things going again. Frequency was it. I’m pretty sure the same thing happened last year with Steel Magnolias.
Mike Lemon
The people are clamoring for it! If I were Cassie, I would just watch that one and give the masses what they want. Then have the poll.
Bill Maurer
Glad you are feeling better Courtroom movies list JFK Judgement at Nuremberg To Kill a Mockingbird The Hurricane
Dan M
Hey Cassie! I can totally sympathize with how bad you were feeling this past week because I just got hit with it over the past two days. It was HORRIBLE! You’re right, I would not wish it on my worst enemy, and I pray that no one else in the PiB community has to contend with it. Can’t wait for the 4th annual Poppies! It’s the only awards show that I actually look forward to these days. Frequency is going to be a lot of fun, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it turns out to be one of your favorite movies of 2025. Hope your oldest son has a fantastic birthday! 🎉 🎂
Neil Varma
Happy birthday to him !!
Joe
Cassie, for a courtroom poll, please don't mix older films in with newer films in one poll. We need separate polls for older & modern. Will you randomly select the films from popcornrequest app?
Joe
Well, the odds were good Cassie would watch it....but sometimes she waits a long time to cycle back to 2nd place films.
Happy Hanukkah
Indeed. Shiny. You reminded me: Happy birthday to Eldest Son!
Mark White
Glad you are feeling better Cassie, I’m nearly fully recovered too. Happy birthday to your eldest, I hope he has had a great day. 🎂🥳 Looking forward to the poppies, and frequency. I can’t think of another court room drama other than the ones already suggested. It’s not a court room drama but “The Insider” has lots of legal stuff in it and you love a true story! Yep I’ll keep on mentioning it!😆 Have a great week You are the best ❤️
Ted Whalen
I hope your son has a great bday (you can’t go wrong with a 49’ers hoodie). Jagged Edge is a great courtroom drama from the 80’s. Nuremberg (with Alec Baldwin) is also a pretty good movie (it’s about the first round on Nazi war crimes).
Stuart Guthrie Jr.
Hey Cassie. I'm glad you're feeling better.

The People vs O.J. Simpson is a really good short series about probably the biggest and most controversial trial ever. I doubt it'll be seen on here, but it could be something you could watch on your own time. That whole thing was just fascinating.

A courtroom poll? Surely you'll include a movie that all the regulars here are quite familiar with: "Indictment: The McMartin Trial" (1995)! (I think that in some countries it was known as Fetching Amal.) :-)

Go Team Cassie!😊

Glad to hear you're feeling better! Maybe cross your eyes as well just in case. 🤭 I'm always game for a courtroom film. The Rainmaker (1997) and The Client (1994) are the last two John Grisham works you have yet to see. Other good courtroom films I think you'll love are: Ghosts Of Mississippi (1996) And Justice For All (1979) Rules Of Engagement (2000) High Crimes (2002) True Believer (1989) The Devil's Advocate (1997) The People vs Larry Flynt (1996) Kramer vs Kramer (1979)

Does this mean you'll be watching Reservoir Dogs? Glad you're doing better.
Matt Rose
Great movie but yeah, same dilemma.

I owe you an apology for assuming you weren't going to watch Frequency. I can't wait.

My personal issues with the leads of Frequency notwithstanding (shouldn't be too hard to guess my opinions of things haha), it's a great and entertaining movie
Matt Rose
Courtroom suggestions: THE VERDICT (1982) WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION (1957) ANATOMY OF A FALL (2023) INHERIT THE WIND (1960) PHILADELPHIA (1993) KRAMER VS KRAMER (1979) JUDGMENT AT NUREMBERG (1961)

Hoping for The Verdict or the Rainmaker on the poll

I'm pretty sure Cassie has been sick a solid 2 months.
Choof
She's already seen this on the channel, fantastic reaction

The Rainmaker is the simple solution to the courtroom poll. Long requested, based on a John Grisham novel, starring Matt Damon and Danny DeVito. It's practically elementary! There now. Only 367 things left to do! Hope you are really getting better. One could worry about you. On to the Poppies and glory!!

Courtroom Poll! My Cousin Vinny is hilarious and has Joe Pesci from Lethal Weapon!

So glad to hear you're going better, Cassie. Looking forward to the Poppies. You will like FREQUENCY I'm sure. A courtroom poll is a great idea. Please, put THE VERDICT with Paul Newman on there. It's not only one of the best courtroom dramas of all time, it's one of Newman's greatest performances
Joshua Campbell
I recommend Tommy Lee Jones again in U.S Marshalls. Wesley Snipes (Blade) & Robert Downey Jr (Iron Man). Incredible cast in that movie.
