If you loved The Phantom of the Opera, try A Time to Kill
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share

bittersweet
What A Time to Kill is
Mississippi, summer, a porch creaks. A young girl lies in a hospital bed, her father stands accused, a small town seethes. Schumacher tackles racial tension in the deep south.
