Native Mississippian and acclaimed author, John Grisham has had many of his novels turned into Hollywood movies. Such as

The Client

Also one of his latest books, The Associate is being made into a Movie as well

A Time to Kill was a good movie.
Rainmaker, I loved the book (read it in two nights), but the movie not so much.

A Time to Kill was my favorite. I also loved The Pelican Brief.
I was not a huge fan of the way The Firm turned out on film, and The Chamber just pissed me off. I don't think I saw all of The Client, and I haven't seen any of the rest.

Really liked all of these movies. I actually ended up working on the set of The Client for a couple of days while living in Memphis.

Not a Grisham fan.
However, I did like sitting in his spot out in LFL.

I hope they eventually make his book "The Bleachers" into a movie. It was a great read.

I ate dinner with him at his house outside of Oxford. My sister was dating his godson and both were students at ole miss. Grisham is a very nice guy and a baseball fanatic. Even has a full sized and well groomed baseball park at almost every one of his houses.

A Time to Kill is my favorite. I would also like to see Bleachers made into a movie.

Those are the only three I saw and thought them all average. Though they give the impression of being the type of movies where the source novels are probably far superior.
I'd like to check out the Gingerbread Man cause Robert Altman directed it.
