I didn’t word that very well. I meant it’s must not very high on my list of priorities to go rewatch The Client, though I could. As you know the main character in the film was played by Brad Renfro who went on to wreck his life quite badly but he’s good in that film. As far as I can remember. I doubt it would be a bad film I just sort of don’t feel like digging it out and watching it again. It, like most Grisham adaptations, used to air on HBO all the time in the 1990s. Definitely I don’t think that the concept of an old movie “holding up” is meaningless–I’m totally fixated on that subject as you probably can tell!

Jim Carrey revealed at an older age that Tommy Lee Jones hated him. Val Kilmer hated Schumacher. That movie is just a big load of hate!
I definitely know the 1989 Batman doesn’t hold up, and that Batman Returns only holds up if you want to watch the most sick-minded kiddie movie ever made.

Falling Down is quite popular still, due to its angry white guy protagonist.

If I were to watch A Few Good Men it’d be to see what it was that right-wing review sites hated so much about it. I don’t know what those sites think of A Time To Kill.

The TSPDT list must be very long to include a stinking rat turd like St. Elmo’s Fire though I suppose that movie does have a little bit of value as a sort of 80s youth-culture touchstone. When Schumacher first presented the script to some Hollywood executive the exec threw it back in his face and told him “You have just created the seven most loathsome characters in film history!” or something like that.

NP: Aerosmith _ “The Farm”: sounds like he’s saying “take me to the bomb” over and over again
