Quotes
Add a QuoteDowney: What did we do wrong? We did nothing wrong. Dawson: Yeah, we did. We were supposed to fight for the people who couldn't fight for themselves. We were supposed to fight for Willie.
Galloway: I don't think you're fit to handle the defense. Kaffee: You don't even *know* me. Ordinarily it takes someone *hours* to discover I'm not fit to handle a defense.
Kaffee: Oh, hah, I'm sorry, I keep forgetting. You were sick the day they taught law at law school.
Lt. Weinberg: "I strenuously object?" Is that how it works? Hm? "Objection." "Overruled." "Oh, no, no, no. No, I STRENUOUSLY object." "Oh. Well, if you strenuously object then I should take some time to reconsider."
Lt. Weinberg: You've heard her. My daughter said a word. She said, "Pa." Kaffee: She was pointing to a mailbox, Sam. Lt. Weinberg: That's right. She pointed to the mailbox as if to say, "Pa, look, a mailbox."
Kaffee: Is the colonel's underwear a matter of national security?
"You can't handle the truth!"

Add a CommentOne of the best films I have seen in this year. It was entertaining and interesting. Great performances a must see for all. “Truly a really great movie worth the long library wait or the price to rent from a Red Box”.
Excellent casting and performances......Good, convincing story.....Superbly directed by Bob Rainer.
An interesting and gripping film about our armed forces. One wonders how much of this fictional film would actually be true in real life.
this was a very good movie
This is an amazing movie!! I had to watch it for my comp class and I'm glad I did because I probably would have never picked it up otherwise. This is one of the best performances I've seen out of Tom Cruise. And I've never seen Jack Nicholson play such a jerk. I definitely recommend this movie!!
This is the first movie I had ever seen where there was no real physical action going on, and yet the suspense was extremely intense. If you have never seen "A Few Good Men" then see it, this is an excellent movie. I highly recommend this movie.
Excellent movie with military law as background. Exciting.
You want the truth? This is one of my all-time favourite movies. A court room drama, that keeps you on the edge of your seat. This is Tom Cruise at his very best! Jack Nicholson delivers a great and powerful performance as Col. Nathan Jessep. Other big stars like Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Keifer Sutherland, Noah Wyle, and Cuba Gooding Jr. contribute emmensly to the excelence that is this movie.
