The Firm
Mitch McDeere is a young man with a promising future in Law. About to sit his Bar exam, he is approached by 'The Firm' and made an offer he doesn't refuse. Seduced by the money and gifts showered on him, he is totally oblivious to the more sinister side of his company. Then, two Associates are murdered.

unlabelledView post →the funniest thing about it to me is that someone objected to me loving The Firm. like, son... if you think that's the worst movie I enjoy, have I got news for you
unlabelledView post →I am a few days out from major surgery that requires a long recovery time. ❤️🩹 Give me your movie recommendations that you consider MUST sees but that someone may never have actually sat down and watched. Niche is ok! For example, these are on my list: The Firm Excalibur Children of a Lesser God
unlabelledView post →The fact that Ghislaine Maxwell is still standing indicates that quite possibly,as in the movie,The Firm, she found a way to keep evidence safe from destruction and readily available if necessary. Insurance.

unlabelledView post →Completely forgot this moment in the Firm, but in retrospect it's gotta be in the running for most Tom Cruise story beat in film history.
unlabelledView post →The Firm is low-key one of the top-10 "law" movies ever, and a top-10 Tom Cruise movie ever. I will take no further questions at this time.
unlabelledView post →Today's movie (9-3-26) is The Firm (1993) a film by Sydney Pollack
unlabelledView post →Just rewatched THE FIRM (Pollack, 1993) and I think its genius lies in every single supporting player (Hackman, Hunter, Strathairn, Harris, Busey, Bell, Brimley, Sorvino) getting to act like the main star of a movie that just happens to intersect with the Tom Cruise storyline for a bit.
unlabelledView post →This plan is obviously bullshit, but I would totally watch a Towerblockuster/Football Hooligan movie that was 50% Die Hard and 50% The Firm. Jason Statham would be the leader of the Hooligan firm that ended up saving the day by thwarting the terrorists. This movies absolutely must get made.
unlabelledView post →I'm only like ten minutes in but I can already tell THE FIRM (1993) is gonna be an epic Dudes Suck Movie
unlabelledView post →The more you read the files,the more believable it becomes that Epstein had a backdoor out and is still alive. Anyone in his position would have certainly had "insurance" stashed in the event of his death and everyone he was blackmailing would be at risk if he died. Watch the movie, "The Firm".
unlabelledView post →I felt this way rewatching The Firm. The movie takes care of you.
unlabelledView post →I’m assuming these r law students cuz The Heritage Foundation recruits them right outta school to come do their dirty work. Reminds me of the movie The Firm. They r selling their souls for probably money n their hate. So blinded by their privilege. They don’t deserve to be Americans. #arrestvought
unlabelledView post →Books to film 📚=🎞️ The Firm (1991) by John Grisham was adapted (1993) by Sidney Pollack. The film changes the book's ending in clever fashion as the protagonist goes to great pains to stay within the law. The book contains moral ambiguity that the film largely discards. 👩🏻⚖️🏛️⚖ #filmsky #booksky
unlabelledView post →Gene Hackman is not credited on posters for “The Firm.” He wanted above-the-title billing, but was denied by Paramount. In the film itself, Hackman is second-billed in both the opening and closing credits. But his name appears nowhere in the advertising for "The Firm."
unlabelledView post →Okay so we finished watching THE FIRM (1993) last night and it is definitely an iconic Dudes Suck Movie Wilford Brimley plays the murderous walking incarnation of Dudes Sucking to the hilt, and it's not even the third-best performance in the movie What an ensemble!!!!
unlabelledView post →You know… Witness is great little movie. It’s one if those movies that you can just watch over and over again… like The Firm. #FilmSky #MovieSky #HarrisonFord
unlabelledView post →Didn't catch this before, but Channel 5's tradition of screening a 15-rated film in a completely inappropriate afternoon slot (Enemy of the State, Police Academy) strikes once again with The Firm. Might not be as cut to ribbons as some of the others, but I don't think Gary Busey is getting blown.
unlabelledView post →This reminds me: I have never seen the movie version of The Firm but does it include the many many pages of the main character making video tapes to explain RICO

unlabelledView post →This is re "Congo" but is also true of like every 90s movie. Look at the cast list of "The Firm" for an absolute murderer's row (some playing murderers of c)
unlabelledView post →Now that we've all seen Top Gun 2, which other Tom Cruise movie deserves a legacy sequel? I reckon there's great scope for a sequel to The Firm, with a greying Tom Cruise, living as a lawyer in obscurity, getting caught up in another intrigue involving the Mafia.
unlabelledView post →This movie is so sensational. Also true of Hoosiers. Royal Tenenbaums. Heist. Get Shorty. The Firm. Mississippi Burning. Unforgiven. The list is insane.
unlabelledView post →The Firm is on BBC4 in 15 mins (Phil Davis preview on now) Alan Clarke's final film. What. A. Director.
unlabelledView post →Today’s Hackman re-watch: THE FIRM. He elevates it, but also, don’t sleep on a movie that manages to make Wilford Brimley scary.
unlabelledView post →Started tonight with a movie I’ve seen a couple times, Few Good Men, and am now keeping up the Tom Cruise is a lawyer theme with one I’ve never watched all the way through: The Firm.
unlabelledView post →There are worse actors to do a movie marathon of than Gene Hackman. In the last week I've watched: Get Shorty The Birdcage The Firm Hoosiers* The Runaway Jury Mississippi Burning* Postcards from the Edge No Way Out The Package* and now Crimson Tide (* indicates first viewing)
unlabelledView post →i have caught the last 45 minutes of THE FIRM, a movie I would never actively choose to watch on a traditional streamer, at least 4 times this year, it rules
unlabelledView post →Between my yearly rewatch of Home for the Holidays, and recently rewatching The Firm, it’s become all too clear to me that the world needs another movie where Holly and David Strathairn share scenes together. Their chemistry is off the charts!
unlabelledView post →Think of The Firm. Not a great movie. They could never figure out the edit, and you can tell. Hackman is barely in it, & he never gets a flashy scene. But you remember him almost as much as Cruise. He tells the whole story with his voice & body.
unlabelledView post →I mean, he sucks now but “never was” is crazy. He had a run in the 80s and 90s that was legit impressive & for a while was arguably the biggest movie star on earth Top Gun Rain Man Born on the 4th of July A Few Good Men The Firm Interview with the Vampire Mission Impossible Jerry Maguire Magnolia
unlabelledView post →Lubitsch the actor, credit sequence of his first film, the comedy The Pride of the Firm (1914)
unlabelledView post →Someone just said I’m a jinx, I watched The Firm a few days before Gene Hackman died The Saint the day before Val Kilmer died and Alligator 2 a few weeks before Morris died. I’m never watching a Mel Brooks film again.
unlabelledView post →I'm interested in songs/films/texts that end by seeming to spin out control and fly apart: accelerate, louden, increase, shudder, explode beyond their medial limits. One example is "Star Trekkin'" by the Firm. What are some others—especially in film and literature?
unlabelledView post →“The Firm is a 2h30m movie about mail and tax fraud” I’m such a freak that comment has rocketed The Firm to the top of my to-watch list
unlabelledView post →Mine are some of his most underrated films... 1. "Superman". Yes, I said it and I stand by it. 2. "I Never Sang for my Father". I thought his portrayal of Gene Garrison in the movie was incredible. 3 "The Firm". And not just because Hackman’s character Avery Tolar talks about Austin Peay.

unlabelledView post →i have been on a little streak of lawyer movies which means i am watching John Grisham movies - so far i've seen The Firm, The Client, and Runaway Jury unrelated i also watched Disclosure (kind of a lawyer movie?) which i thought was incredibly weird and bizarre for a mainstream Hollywood type film
unlabelledView post →Hobo is watching "The Firm" for the first time (as are we), and Tom Cruise just did a kip while evading multiple unscrupulous foes!
unlabelledView post →If you're planning a Gene Hackman film festival, here's where to watch some of his greatest roles: Unforgiven, Mississippi Burning, Get Shorty - Prime Superman 1-4 - Max Quick & the Dead - Hulu The Firm, The Conversation - Kanopy No Way Out, Get Shorty - Tubi, Pluto Scarecrow, Night Moves - TCM
unlabelledView post →you know what movie is approximately 500 hours long but rocks? that's right, it's The Firm, starring Gene Hackman
unlabelledView post →New episode of @nafmcpodcast.bsky.social is out now. We watched The Firm (1993) so I made this poster featuring the true star of the movie (Wilford Brimley)
unlabelledView post →It’s why the film version of “The Firm” replaced 50 pages of photocopy shenanigans from the book with Holly Hunter capital-A Acting.
unlabelledView post →I avoided the #Oscars tonight. My friends and I watched a Gene Hackman film instead. We had options: The Firm Unforgiven Runaway Jury Mississippi Burning Superman French Connection The Replacements Bat 21 Unforgiven We went with "The Quick and the Dead" because it's just awesome. 🥰 RIP, Gene. 🕯️
unlabelledView post →She stole the film 'The Firm'. I am not wrong.
unlabelledView post →The Firm (1993). Read Grisham's book years ago, so knew this had a high chance of excelling. It didn't disappoint. Packed cast - Cruise, Tripplehorn, Gene Hackman, Ed Harris, Holly Hunter, Terry Kinney, David Straithairn... I'd forgotten the plot, so was on the edge of my seat #FilmSky #ReelRank
unlabelledView post →I love The Firm as a whole but the Hunter & Strathairn stuff is electric and really deserved its own movie
unlabelledView post →35mm prints of Boarding Gate, The Insider, and The Firm at BAM, and more films to see in NYC theaters this weekend.
unlabelledView post →My favorite Gene Hackman film is The Firm

unlabelledView post →I've always loved this ever since I first saw the film, and I'm sure it's a staple for many a bar band, but the only time I've seen it live was by The Firm - Jimmy Page, Paul Rodgers et al at the Hammy O in 1984.
unlabelledView post →Watched this short with Phil Davis recalling Alan Clarke’s ‘The Firm’ on iplayer this morning then watched the film itself. Clarke was a maverick/genius (Scum, Made in Britain, Rita, Sue and Bob Too etc). Real life.
unlabelledView post →The other night we went out to dinner and discovered that our waiter, a child of 26, was from Tennessee, so we were excited because no state borders more states! But then I asked him if he had seen the 1993 film The Firm (which is prominently set in Tennessee) but it predated his birth by a lot
unlabelledView post →Exactly. It reminds me of the kompromat on the movie The Firm. Trumps goons plopped a Manila envelope on the desk in front of Rubio chock full of goodies to keep him in line.
unlabelledView post →"The Firm" should have been enough to tell them. Surely everyone has seen that film.
unlabelledView post →Even though Gene Hackman had a prominent role in The Firm he chose not to receive any billing credit on the movie posters because Tom Cruise was afforded sole, above the title, top billing with the letters of his name equal to that of the film title.
unlabelledView post →Wild, wicked and wonderful film discoveries. The Balcony and The Firm (1989) blew my mind. Fave performances this week come from Lindsay Duncan, Shelley Winters, Gary Oldman and Roger Allam. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched #filmsky
unlabelledView post →I know this is not even close to his best movie or biggest role, but to me, Gene Hackman was the star of The Firm. What a fantastic morally (dark) grey character.🖤
