I can’t stop rewatching this scene from A Few Good Men. It’s perfect. Everything about this entire sequence is utterly perfect- I would not change a thing. This moment will live forever. Rob Reiner was a genius & I still can’t accept he’s gone- especially like this. RIP.

This is without a doubt one of the most unbelievably great courtroom scenes I have ever seen. The fact Kaffee's legal team has told him before using this strategy could get him courtmartaled and he did it anyway to "find the truth" about what happened to pfc Santiago in "A Few Good Men" is one reason I loved Tom Cruise's acting and Rob Reiner's direction in this film. A truly great moment in film history.

Nicholson was a genius in this scene.

Brillant. One of the best directed , written and played cinema scene .

My favourite ever movie, I remember being blown away in the cinema and it still remains as powerful now as it did then.......the movie industry should get back to basics, in other words, give directors and actors the platform to achieve greatness like this scene achieved

Give credit to where credit is do, the Actors them selves,,,, but more so ::: The script for A Few Good Men was written by Aaron Sorkin. He originally adapted the screenplay from his own 1989 play of the same name, He put the words in their mouths.

As is this scene. Rob Reiner was so great! RIP

I have rewatched this scene for over 30 years and think about it all the time. I was in high school when I saw this in theatres and I just sat there stunned for 15 minutes after the credits rolled. The build up, not knowing how exactly he was constructing the argument. Perfection

I wish they played the clip to the part where Dawson saluted him and said there was an officer on deck. That part always gets me.

Rob Reiner’s direction in this scene is pure cinematic memory. I keep coming back to it-so much heart and brilliance. His legacy truly shaped how we dream through film.

Imagine being one of the extras on set seeing this at the time.

It’s one of the best scenes in cinema

Absolute perfection. It holds up all these years later. He had such talent for framing a scene & letting the actors & dialogue shine. Also, his iconic shots & sequences look effortless - I feel like he was like “NBD guys - just made another masterpiece”.

Just rewatched it Always powerful

@KevinShockey The prior hour and a half are amazing as well because it’s all teasing and leading up to the big climax at the end. Top 5 movie for me beginning to end!

This is such a solid film. I’ve loved it since it was released, I’ve watched it countless times. Nice to see everyone appreciating it!

I blame Sorkin for the crappy plot … 3 months to prepare for a trial and they botched it. Worst legal defense ever.

This is the dumbest courtroom drama ever. The only reason why they were there is a code red is revenge, then the last line "we failed as marines bc we are supposed to protect those who are weaker". We spent 2 hours to tell us your real code? 😳🤡😏

Th Sorkin Reiner collab produced a couple of great movies.

The script is bullshit.

I watched this movie in a cinema in Pretoria whilst travelling in South Africa. The power of this movie and this scene especially, cut through in a nation pre Mandela’s election. The Sorkin/Reiner collaboration was so great

Wow.

@Only4RM Remarkable scene!

@eddy_terstall Most brilliant movie scene ever

A week already

Thank you, one of the best 11 minutes in history of acting.

This is possibly Cruise’s best ever portrayal of a villain.

I love Jack in the scene. He was so so psssionate

One of those great scenes you will never forget after watching it for the first time. Up there with the best.

Yes. We know. Except no court remains to deal w law facts public opinion to give justice results n recompense. Next qiestion?

He certainly had words.

Amazing movie

Too bad he was such a bleeding asshole. He clearly had talent.

Amazing

Great script, great writing, fantastic performances by Cruise and, especially, by Nicholson with his soliloquy. One thing always bothered, though. Why did Jessup crack? He was totally in control. "You're damned right I did!" Why?
