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
