'In & Out' was a decent-sized hit that got its origin story from Tom Hanks' 1994 Oscars speech. And while it had its heart in the right place, it's very much a film of its time.
John Grisham's novel "The Firm" was a massive hit in 1991, and its movie adaptation was not only the best Grisham adaptation, but the best lawyer movie of the entire decade; featuring a stellar cast led by a young Tom Cruise.
