"A Few Good Men" is the result of impeccable collaboration between excellent writing, confident directing, and a list of early 90s acting juggernauts. Among the absolute best courtroom dramas.

This is, without a doubt, my favorite courtroom drama and my favorite Tom Cruise film! Everything is great about this film: The acting, the script, the music, etc. The courtroom scene between Cruise and Nicholson is so epic! I practically have that scene memorized! The "Galactically Stupid" scene is pretty awesome too! I love Rob Reiner. He is a great director, and this is his best, in my opinion. I would have given the Best Picture Oscar to this film in 1992. Without a doubt, it's in my top 20!

He soon finds out that he was given the case so it would never go to court and he reluctantly fights for the marines innocence at the risk of both their lives and his career. Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Keifer Sutherland and Kevin Pollak offer great support in their roles in the movie but it is the ferocious and intense performance of Jack Nicholson as Col. Nathan Jessep, the man ultimately responsible; that is spellbinding. The ending of this movie when Caffe takes on Jessep is …

Two United States Marines (Wolfgang Bodison and James Marshall) are arrested on numerous charges, including the murder of a fellow soldier who wanted to be transfered in exchange of information of an incident at their base at Guatanimo Bay, Cuba. "Lt. Daniel Alistair Kaffee" (Tom Cruise), a lawyer who always plea-bargined his way to a win without entering a courtroom, is assigned to defend them.
"Lt. Kaffe's" first problem is to handle "Lt. Cmdr. JoAnne 'Jo' Galloway" (Demi Moore), who wants to be on the case so bad she gets the permission of "Pvt. Downey's" "Aunt Ginny" (Maud Winchester) to take over his part of his case. "Lt. Kaffe" declares himself lead council, with "Lt. Cmdr. Galloway" and "Lt. Sam Weinberg" (Kevin Pollak) as co-assistant council. His second, to keep his clients …
