I still enjoy that movie with the exception of his speech at the end. The funny thing is, growing up I thought that's an awesome, charismatic speech. Now I'm like, "You are batshit crazy Mr. President!" The environmental strain running through the movie doesn't really bother me, but the whole "I'm gonna get the guns" shite is just

I liked it too,when it came out and I was young and stupid. Now, the whole "I am a card carrying member of the ACLU" line is hilarious, in a sad kind of way.

Please tell me you have more. Phone calls and suitcases? Two men's lives are in the balance.

please tell me the lives of these two soldiers don't rest on a phone bill.

What are we going to discuss next, my favorite color??

A Few Good Men is possibly the best courtroom drama of all time outside of Judgement at Nuremberg and in my top 10 films.

Fantastic movie that, yes, does show the possible dangers of too much power in the hands of those that might abuse it, but also shows that the military system worked.

One of my favorite things about the movie was that even though Jessup was outed as giving the order and selling out his men to cover it up, the Marines were still dishonorably discharged.

No clean ending wrapped in a bow.

Of course the issue of whether or not "Code Red" type hazings should be outlawed as portrayed is a whole other conversation
