negative · AI labelView post →In Clueless, Cher cheers Tai up by saying they’ll go see the new Christian Slater movie. Based on this being 1995, that would have been the legal drama Murder in the First.

The film is about a murder plot by a terminally ill English teacher in which he hires one of his students to do the deed. Link to buy: www.truetvmovies.net/store/p1192/...

neutral · AI labelView post →Tons of great recs. A couple more that I haven’t seen mentioned… Not a thriller, but The Life of David Gale was one helluva movie. Also Sleepers. The Client. The Insider. Murder in the First. When They See Us was a miniseries that was great. About the Central Park Five.
neutral · AI labelView post →The movie "Murder in the First" has Kevin Bacon as an Alcatraz inmate who is tortured and locked in solitary for years. It's based on a true story. I think the orange maggot saw it and relished the idea of the dungeons in Alcatraz.

neutral · AI labelView post →The movie "Murder in the First" starring Kevin Bacon didn't make waves, but Bacon's acting-portraying a prisoner who spent 3 yrs in Alcatraz's solitary-deservedly earned several award nominations. I saw it decades ago, but remember it well enough to know I don't have the stomach to watch it again

Gary Oldman plays the heartless Warden (technically associate Warden) while R. Lee Ermey is on hand as the judge. "Murder in the First" (1995) is a prison/courtroom drama that says its “inspired by true events,” which means it’s NOT a biography of the real Henri…
