This is a really cool poll, and I hate to be that guy, but The Firm is about transactional corporate and tax lawyers, not trial lawyers.  Was there even a courtroom scene in the movie?

Yeah, I became aware of that after this started (hadn't seen it since the 90s).  But votes were already cast by the time I realized it.  And then it won in the first round...
