With the
266th pick,
Team MissTeeks selects, in the
Drama category,
A Time to Kill.
This is one of my favorite drama movies. It's based on the novel of the same name by John Grisham. For some reason I prefer the movie adaptions of John Grisham's novels more than the actual books themselves. This movie stars a fairly young Matthew McConaughey, before he became all about not wearing a shirt and starring in crappy romantic comedies with Kate Hudson. It also stars a very good Samuel L. Jackson and an underrated Sandra Bullock. It's a very racial charged movie and it's pretty much the reason I'm scared spit-less of Kiefer Sutherland. The final courtroom scene is really hard to watch but also the best scene in the movie, I cry everytime I watch it.

Trailer:
Closing Arguments (Spoilers) And probably NSFW. Sorry for the ad at the beginning of the clip, it was the only one I could find that hadn't been removed.
