Films with: Silver, Ron

Ali
Dramatic biography of boxing great Muhammad Ali, which focuses on the ten-year period of 1964-1974. In that time, the brash, motor-mouthed athlete quickly dominates his sport, meets and marries his first wife, converts to Islam (changing his name from Cassius Clay), and defies the United States government by refusing to submit to military conscription for duty in Vietnam. His world heavyweight champion title thus stripped from him entirely for political reasons, the champ sets about to win back his crown, culminating in a legendary unification bout against George Foreman in Zaire, dubbed the "Rumble in the Jungle."

American tragedy
This is the story the public never saw of the high profile attorneys of the O.J. Simpson murder trial. What started as a cohesive defense team ends up as a fractured and tarnished group of disagreeing attorneys. Interspersed with real footage of the media coverage.

Rookie cop Megan Turner is suspended after she kills an armed robber her first night out and no gun is found at the scene. The missing gun has been snatched by Eugene Hunt, a commodities trader and a witness to the shooting. He develops a sick fascination with Megan and commits a series of murders with her name on the bullets. At the same time, Eugene begins dating Megan, but when she finally realizes that he's the serial killer, the young policewoman is unable to convince her superiors of his guilt; she then takes it upon herself to take him down using whatever means possible.

Reversal of fortune
Did European aristocrat Claus von Bulow attempt to murder his wife Sunny at their luxurious Newport mansion in 1980? The tabloids of the day certainly had their opinions. "You have one thing in your favor," defense attorney Alan Dershowitz told von Bulow, "Everybody hates you." Reversal of Fortune is the acclaimed movie version of events that had all America talking. Jeremy Irons plays von Bulow in an Academy Award winning performance of icy brittleness that also won a Golden Globe and Los Angeles and National Society of Film CriticsBest Actor Awards. Glen Close is wanly elegant as heiress Sunny. And Ron Silver portrays Harvard law professor Dershowitz, retained by von Bulow to uncover the evidence that will demolish the prosecution's case - and reverse a devastating verdict.
