unlabelledView post →I feel like I’m watching some conspiracy movie like The Pelican Brief or something. Wtf??? 🤬
unlabelledView post →The Pelican Brief. The movie dispenses with the cumbersome, cringeworthy romance and gets on with two disparate people fighting corporate evil.

unlabelledView post →This is how I know no deep state exists, and every single spy movie from Enemy of the State to the Pelican Brief could never, ever happen. Because if it could.. it would right now.
unlabelledView post →Watching an older film this morning. The Pelican Brief. Interesting Stanley Tucci and Julia Roberts are so young
unlabelledView post →I said yesterday that I wanted to watch, like, a movie-movie. Like, Top Gun or My Cousin Vinnie or When Harry Met Sally, but one I hadn’t seen before. Anyway, we’re watching The Pelican Brief and I am THRILLED.
unlabelledView post →it is extremely funny how weird movies on youtube is. you can find 8-Man After, which is an *insanely* violent anime film, uploaded for free and sitting there ready to be watched cause no one cares. But if you want to watch the Pelican Brief you need to do an age check.
unlabelledView post →I occasionally remember the plot of the movie "The Pelican Brief" and think about the SC judges who were killed in the movie...🤔
unlabelledView post →Before streaming, The Pelican Brief was always about to start on some channel. The original on-demand movie.
unlabelledView post →The Pelican Brief is a movie about two people who do research, one a law student and the other a journalist who manage to take down the President in an pre-Internet, pre-Cell phone era … also, a Big part of the film is navigating the pre-cell phone era. (Also they “teleport” across the US a lot)
unlabelledView post →Just watched the Pelican Brief for the first time in many years. A dystopian film about a corrupt billionaire who bought a president for 3.2 million dollars. Now we have a corrupt billionaire buying an entire government for 350 million. America, how far we’ve come.
unlabelledView post →#NovemberFilmChallenge #FilmSky 🎥 Conspiracy in a movie. The Pelican Brief (1993)
unlabelledView post →I really don't care how he is removed. He should have been disqualified. Period. I remember a movie called The Pelican Brief and a show titled Designated Survivor. I'd rather live in those screenplays than in FirstFelon's fascist America owned by Techno Nation billionaires & Putin's rubles.
unlabelledView post →Another possibility: The Pelican Brief, probably my top “guilty pleasure” movie, and unless Grisham is a way better writer than I take him for, the Denzel-Julia Roberts-Stanley Tucci pier combo is enough to put it up there
unlabelledView post →When I was younger I used to think the Pelican Brief was such a good movie but it could never happen here. How wrong I was.
unlabelledView post →We used to live in a world where John Grisham novels got turned into movies, directed by masters of the craft, and starring the biggest names in film. THE PELICAN BRIEF is a perfect example of why we should go back to that formula.
unlabelledView post →Movie friends, I finished my best 4k remaster yet! One of my favorite movies of the 1990s- The Pelican Brief. Both smaller & full size renders available. Interested? Feel free to DM or post here! I will DM you a link and then delete your post so no one else bothers you. English subs included!
unlabelledView post →Wowowow once upon a time research and journalism could be marshaled to speak truth to power and effect meaningful accountability (in the film The Pelican Brief)
unlabelledView post →Going to start gently pushing the acclaimed John Grisham novel and feature film “The Pelican Brief” to people celebrating the UHC murder, just in case they need ideas.
unlabelledView post →When you think of the book and film “ The Pelican Brief” Which two names come to your mind first Alito & Thomas Gorsuch & Kavanaugh Roberts & Barrett Or is it time for John Grisham to write a sequel?
unlabelledView post →If you haven't watched the Pelican Brief in awhile, now is a good time to pick it back up. Not only is a good movie, it's insightful too.
unlabelledView post →Denzel Washington REFUSED to kiss Julia Roberts at the height of her career in the movie “The Pelican Brief” because he did not want to alienate his fan base of Black women. Ion know why this unnamed red carpet corespondent even tried. Robert De Niro don’t care for cream in his coffee either 🤭
unlabelledView post →I’ve never actually seen The Pelican Brief, so can my year be more like the #2 movie, Mrs. Doubtfire, with dudes in drag instead please?
unlabelledView post →Still dying so another day another movie (or 6). The Pelican Brief (1993)
unlabelledView post →Every time I watch this movie, the score reminds me of Sneakers (1992). Some of the compositions are the same used in The Pelican Brief (1993). Of course both were scored by James Horner.

unlabelledView post →The one I want to rewatch the most right now is The Pelican Brief (1993). youtu.be/N7seUNbY1_w?...
unlabelledView post →The Pelican Brief as number one is correct. The book and the film.
unlabelledView post →Bought a DVD of The Pelican Brief at Goodwill a couple days ago and watching it tonight I had to STAND UP AND FLIP THE DISC OVER TO WATCH THE LAST HALF OF THE MOVIE
unlabelledView post →It turns out that The Pelican Brief is neither the nature documentary, nor the short film, that its title implies.
unlabelledView post →UNRELATEDLY have you guys ever seen “The Pelican Brief” because that’s a great movie really makes you think. Realllllllllyyyyyyy makes you think.
unlabelledView post →Think I'm gonna watch my favorite comfort movie: The Pelican Brief.
unlabelledView post →The movie "Michael Clayton" comes to mind. The novel "The Pelican Brief", too, where the assassinations cascade. Fantasies are assuaged when the movie ends. Not a movie here.
unlabelledView post →It would be great if someone could make a counter-commercial using famous movie scenes of hunting/exposing the men in the Trumpstein files. The Pelican Brief All the President's men. Enemy of the State Throw in a little Carrie from Homeland.
unlabelledView post →Ah yes Beethoven a movie that came out in 1992. The same year as the critical claimed: movie "A Few Good Men." TV show "Murphy Brown" book "The Pelican Brief" and the popular song "Smells like Teen Spirit." Clearly nothing political going on in 1992.
unlabelledView post →Now you have to watch the Great Debaters or Malcolm X or Devil With a Blue Dress or the Mighty Quinn or the Hurricane or the Pelican Brief or something else. You picked him playing a villain as you're first Denzel movie, LMAO!!!! 😂😂😂
unlabelledView post →That’s funny. I remember seeing a movie once. I think it was called “The Pelican Brief.”
unlabelledView post →The Pelican Brief, or any movie like that that takes itself too seriously.
unlabelledView post →John Grisham wrote The Pelican Brief about what might happen in cases like this. It was turned into a big Hollywood movie starring Denzel Washington and Julia Roberts. It was thought to be hypothetical at the time.
unlabelledView post →There was definitely a period in the mid-90s where “based on the John Grisham bestseller” was basically its own genre. Big stars, prestige directors, glossy legal thrillers, loads of Washington corridors and morally compromised lawyers. #admitonedaily #ThePelicanBrief #1990smovies #ticketstub
unlabelledView post →Wasn’t The Pelican Brief was such a good movie. Such great actors playing off each other …. Highly recommend.

unlabelledView post →I just got finished watching the Pelican Brief again. What a wonderful movie so well acted and the cinematography was amazing. I highly recommend giving In a watch.
unlabelledView post →This week we're focusing on the supernova stage of Julia Roberts stardom, with The Pelican Brief, one of a long line of "printing money" sorts of movies she made in the early 1990's: theworldofjot29.blogspot.com/2025/08/the-...
unlabelledView post →Thinking of the movie "The Pelican Brief" and how a few SCOTI were dealt with. We will never get a conviction and removal using conventional means as long as the "current" GOP exists. "If impeached, a two-thirds majority vote by Senate is required for conviction and removal from office"
unlabelledView post →The Pelican Brief was such a well done movie. Great acting directing I highly recommend it
unlabelledView post →Last night's movie was "The Pelican Brief" from 1993 in which 2 SCOTUS justices are assassinated to populate the court with oil industry sympathetic judges and a cover up that goes all the way to the top www.imdb.com/title/tt0107...
unlabelledView post →I started reading a nice little obscure thriller called The Pelican Brief. I bet this could make for a fun movie. You heard it here first.
unlabelledView post →exactly. what if a Pakula movie was dumb? which Pakula himself would later do extremely well in stuff like The Pelican Brief and Presumed Innocent
unlabelledView post →In elementary school, I saw an ad for the movie The Pelican Brief, had no idea what those words meant, tried to use it in a sentence, and got called out by my teacher for clearly having no idea what those words meant. I think I was 8.
unlabelledView post →Speaking of film standards getting whacked - think of "The Pelican Brief" In that movie the president's close advisors are willing to kill someone who simply knows they have a *link* to someone who turned out bad decades after the pres knew them. Today Trump would openly celebrate that friendship.
unlabelledView post →I found this mass market paperback copy of “The Pelican Brief” by John Grisham in a Little Library during morning walk. I’ve never read this one, but I’ve seen the movie. Looking forward to giving it a read. #books #reading
