CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Col. Jessep's (Jack Nicholson) upper hand against Lt. Kaffee (Tom Cruise) doesn't last very long.
FILM DESCRIPTION:
In this military courtroom drama based on the play by Aaron Sorkin, Navy lawyer Lt. Daniel Kaffee (Tom Cruise) is assigned to defend two Marines, Pfc. Louden Downey (James Marshall) and Lance Cpl. Harold Dawson (Wolfgang Bodison), who are accused of the murder of fellow leatherneck Pfc. William Santiago (Michael de Lorenzo) at the U.S. Navy base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Kaffee generally plea bargains for his clients rather than bring them to trial, which is probably why he was assigned this potentially embarassing case, but when Lt. Commander JoAnne Galloway (Demi Moore) is assigned to assist Kaffee, she is convinced that there's more to the matter than they've been led to believe and convinces her colleague that the case should go to court. Under questioning, Downey and Dawson reveal that Santiago died in the midst of a hazing ritual known as "Code Red" after he threatened to inform higher authorities that Dawson opened fire on a Cuban watchtower. They also state that the "Code Red" was performed under the orders of Lt. Jonathan Kendrick (Kiefer Sutherland). Kendrick's superior, tough-as-nails Col. Nathan Jessup (Jack Nicholson), denies any knowledge of the order to torture Santiago, but when Lt. Col. Matthew Markinson (J.T. Walsh) confides to Kaffee that Jessup demanded the "Code Red" for violating his order of silence, Kaffee and Galloway have to find a way to prove this in court. A Few Good Men also features Kevin Bacon as prosecuting attorney Capt. Jack Ross and Kevin Pollak as Kaffee and Galloway's research assistant, Lt. Sam Weinberg.

“Take a seat...Colonel.”
I love the way the judge delivers that last line, with that edge of dislike and sarcasm. :)
Most memorable~
"The Witness Will Address This Court As Judge Or Your Honor I'm Quite Certain I've Earned It!"😄😄 Just goes to show you Always Respect Judge in his Courtroom on a more serious note
Love the way he says Colonel...letting him know that Your Honor has rank in that courtroom
"Take a seat...Skywalker "
Same energy
Can’t wait to speak on that very judge my damn self ❤
The older I get, I've come to realize just how talented tom cruise is as an actor. The man was a kid in this movie acting against giants like Jack Nicholson.
divxsamsung my wife hates him bc of him. I keep telling her you gotta get by that bc his movies are terrific and he’s usually the reason
Kids are the best actors champ.
Growing up, the top movies of the week were on TV on Sunday night starting at 8.30pm. I got home from work at 10pm, so always missed the first 90 minutes. I came home to Born On The Fourth Of July one night and watched from about the 90 minute mark. It wasn't until right near the end of the movie that I realised I had been watching Tom Cruise for the past hour. He really is brilliant. He's a massive weirdo, but is also probably one of the top 5 actors in the world. To me the greatest roles I've ever seen were Drew Barrymore in ET and Christian Bale in The Fighter
divxsamsung - With… 😑
@cacable7 He's an odd un. He either shines or just can't get his teeth into it. He was absolutely awesome fronting Blood Diamond and Catch Me If You Can but just a non-presence in others.
Being in the military doesn't automatically make you a "hero". This film does a good job of illustrating that fact.
I agree with you also with the movie.
All of our military, are heroes, they have earned it
@@danewalker6298 : I disagree with you, Dane. People have been using the word hero so frequently that it is becoming less meaningful.
Even though, I served, honorably, in the Navy for 10 years, I know that I am/was not a hero. I did my job as I was asked to do, but I have never done anything so extraordinary that is above and beyond my call of duty.
Thank you for such praise, but I (along with most of the military personnel) do not deserve it.
I always wondered... especially about american military, who do they even protect? noone ever directly attacked the usa on their own soil for the last 5 decades or so (despite a few terrorists armed with boxcutters). and for that you dont need the military.
i mean of course they wage war around the world on a daily basis, filling their pockets in the process. but wasnt the initial purpose of military forces to protect people instead of attacking them? somewhere in the movie nickolsons character even bloats about how hes protecting american people...wich bring me back to my original question, from what?
@@_G_H_0_S_T : U.S. Military is protecting U.S. interests around the world, but whether those interests should be protected or not, that is another story. Additionally, the military, in a way, also helps the world with its overpopulation problem; though, it needs to do a much better job, since there are already over 7.8 billion people in the world now (and it is going up very quickly).
America would have never become the most powerful country in the world without using its military. And without U.S. Military being so powerful, there would have been another WW III already.
Everybody wants a peaceful world, but the world will never be peaceful as long as there are humans.
"Defense counsel will address the witness and Colonel or sir..." and..."The witness will adress this court as Judge or Your Honor...I'm quite certain I've earned it"...one of the best few lines in this movie.
what is the judge's rank?
@@a55tech Colonel same as Jessep
The cooolest💯💯
@@a55tech He is a judge. A judge in a courtroom outranks everyone.
Although Lt. Kaffee won the case, this scene is where Colonel Jessep lost the judge.
There is not one weak link in the cast. Every actor is giving it their all in this film.
Very true. Tom's acting comes off as stiff sometimes but no one can say he didnt give due effort.
@@PRubin-rh4sr That’s false he was incredible In the movie
The defendants were kind of weak at times
"The witness will address this court as 'Judge' or 'Your Honor'...I'm quite sure I've earned it!"
personally think that's even better than the u can't handle the truth line.............
BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRN!
The judge is a colonel too, and is also addressed as Sir too.
ua-cam.com/video/iRdTetA_Dqo/v-deo.html
It's just kind of hilarious how the judge thinks hes bigger than the colonel 😂 calm down pog
@Nick. Not true. he's the judge. Not just another colonel at the officers club.
I love this judge..He put back Nicholson in his boots right on the spot!!! That was a major blow to his ego! Like he isn't above the law.
This is when the Colonel broke inside; he was corrected in his behavior in front of his own men.
The Judge called him to task, and the Colonel could do nothing but comply.
His ego had gotten swole; this was too much for him to take.
He is fighting a defensive battle from that point forward.
If we the people can do that to politicians that do wrong and after their done with their office we the people should say we have not dismissed you Senator, Governor,Mayor, yes you Mr President. But the system is rigged they can't be judged and be thrown in the slammer like the rest of us citizens when we commit a crime.
Not many actors get to put a Nicholson character in his place. The actor playing the judge did it brilliantly.
“Take your seat, Colonel” - the sting on the end of that sentence is amazing
...and a bit obvious/on the nose.
🤦🤦🤦 90's movies....
@@thomasbayer1843 You get puppy with a judge he's gonna throw shade
"The witness will address this court as 'Judge', or, 'Your Honor'... I'm quite certain I've earned it...".
--Julius Randolph.
That is when the whole tone changed.
Anna Vajda- Agreed.
When the tone literally changes like that, you know something serious is about to happen & that's one of the many reasons why I like parts in a movie/TV show like this one, for example.
Thank you. I didn’t have his name, but he, too, did a fine job in this picture.
The movie would’ve been improved if Demi Moore’s role had been omitted in favor of Pollak’s. Her character was unnecessary are her performance was, at best, lackluster (not that Pollak did a particularly good job, he didn’t).
Ed Phillips- You didn't have who's name?...
I would assume that you're talking about J.A. Preston, Sr., here.
If so, were you talking about his real name, or, his character's name?
Also, I think Demi Moore's role in this movie was just fine--in my opinion, at least...
How his eyes look med when he said it.
Who here agrees that Jack Nicholson has a listenable voice?

Cruise can't swing a baseball bat but he can act like hell
Amazing acting by cruise....the hand shaking slightly while drinking water shows how shaken up he is because of the last line of questioning and also the uncertainty and the consequence of what will happen next
Gotta love how the judge reasserts his own control of the courtroom
This is one of those movies that really ages well. Maybe because it's almost purely military, but it doesn't look or feel dated. And the courtroom scenes are actually fascinating..
1:54 His hand is trembling. He's terrified
+AdoreSinging394% You'd be scared too if US Marines would cut your balls off for a military felony or accusing someone of a crime and all you had was a testimony of two gumshoe jamjars.
+AdoreSinging394% And yet he still does his duty.
+chaoticnipple1 that's what makes him " a good man "
"Without fear, there is no courage"
22 years old just joined the navy as an officer and here you're in court fighting for justice against a dude who's got decades on him in the Marine Corps and combat experience also. kind of scary especially when you're basically a lowest of the low officer in a place with people who are all higher ranking and they can have your ass for breakfast if you don't do something correctly lol. i'd be scared shitless too
Tom Cruise: "Excuse me... I didn't dismiss you.".
Jack Nicholson: "I beg your pardon?...".
Tom Cruise: "I'm not through with my examination.; Sit down...".
Me: "Uh-oh!...".
I like when actors act.
1:46 *"What's that?" (then non-chalantly goes back to pouring his glass of water).* Kaffee's whole plan, including every little nuance, was to anger the Colonel to the point of exploding (with the TRUTH) at the end. BRILLIANT!!
I love how Kaffe is shaking like a leaf though while he is drinking that water. I would be too! The just don't put those kinds of details in movies these days.
Perhaps non-nonchalantly from behind, but we can see him trembling as he drinks his glass of water.
So i just watched this last night (sadly a TV Edit) and this scene always kind of confused me. Was Kaffe just intimidated by Jessup, was it part of a plan in motion (even though he was definitely scared), or did Jessup say something during the interrogation that threw off Kaffe?
@@Pally356 I think it was just Kaffe's own internal conflict. He's thinking to himself, "Am I REALLY about to accuse a Marine colonel of a felony without any evidence other than my own clients' testimony?" That's why he hesitated. He also assumed, from Weinberg's shaking his head, that the two Air Force grounds crew members didn't recall anything and were only there for show. So if he does proceed, he's going to have to use their forthcoming testimony as a bluff.
@@Pally356 He had to prove that Santiago wasn't going anywhere, and that they were ordered to give a Code Red, which is an illegal order. Since his witness (the base's XO) had committed suicide and the logbooks were doctored to show that there was no earlier flight.
His argument about Santiago not being packed or calling anyone was just expertly torn apart before his very eyes so the only option left to try was to accuse Jessop of issuing the illegal order. But without strong proof (and the word of 2 Marines on trial for murder isn't strong proof) his career, both military and eventual civilian careers, are going to be utterly destroyed. And he has to try and get the man who coldly and effectively torn down all of his arguments to admit to committing a crime. Failure will utterly destroy his future.
That's why he's shaking as he's taking the drink of water. This is do or die for him.
I like how they actually got his medals in order (the Colonel), details like that make the great cinematic production that this is.
The haircuts are regulation as well.
Yeah, but they got something wrong in the dialogue. Nicholson refers to "Oh six hundred". In the Army or Air Force, that would have been correct. In the Naval services, they say "Zero six hundred".
@@1firevan1
Little nuances are harder to get correct than medals and haircuts.
Nichalson deserved the Oscar for this role. He was an absolute bastard that only he can portray.
LOL He sure plays a good one doesn't he.
He’s playing himself I’m sure.
Ace High “Nicholson” learn to spell man
1:36
You can see the amount of fear in his eyes, risking it all at that moment.
You can see how anxious Tom Cruise' character is with such subtle actions such as his hand shaking when he drinks the water. Extremely good acting as in real life, this would be an incredibly stressful position especially considering what he was about to do in the next scene which could make or break not only the characters career but the course of the defendants lives.
Take your seat, Colonel.
This might be just me, but the way the judge says "And the witness will address this court as 'Judge' or 'Your Honour'. I'm quite certain I'VE earned it." The way he says that, to me, gives off the air that he doesn't like the Colonel very much.
AdoreSinging394% Probably because the judge did not appreciate the colonel's last remark
Jose Luis Cortez Marquez Also the emphasis he puts on 'Colonel' is somewhat mocking
AdoreSinging394% Well of course the Judge is going to say that immediately following a remark questioning the bearing of his courtroom. It was the perfect response.
diggs59 I've seen some sources that say that that line is what makes Randolph more than just a prop with dialogue
Maybe at some point Jessup was a genuinely good marine, maybe he distinguished himself in combat, maybe he impressed the right people to be given such an important command...
But at some point, he was consumed by his own ego. He thinks he's indispensable, that no one else can do what he does, and anyone under his command (Santiago, Markinson, the defendants) is expendable. He demands respect, but never once gives it, even to a fellow colonel, like the judge.
Such a man is unfit for command.
My father is a Marine and was in combat.. My father said that he had met several like his character.. my father agreed with some of what jessup said but he definitely along the way got lost in his own ego.. He was unfit .. It was great to get another Marines view ! And of course my dads ❤️
Here are some reflections: There are persons like that in any army ( l had a major like this in the military service, who my close protection/signalist/errand boy unit had to work with) but people like that don't reach that kind of positions without having other qualities and the ability to think things through. And then you have the fact that the bulk of the real power are residing in people like Lt. Col. Matthew Markinsons, which in real life would have said "No" and listened to, that would have been it, and if he had been ignored, have made a phone call to their superiors, and colonel Jessop have been reigned in . There is always mutual surveillance among the people in the upper levels of government hierarchies and of course people like colonel Jessops knows it. This would not have happened and the premises of the film would have been dealt with before the drama even started. But then again you wouldn't have your movie villain would you?
I respect Jessup, but he let his ego mouth overload his behind. He deserved to go to jail.
Lt. Kendricks isn't off the hook either.
That's what the verdict of the film, isn't it.
But it's just besides. The real in thing, is the drama, being played out by every single character in the film.
It took me repeated views of this scene to spot it, but note Cruise's hand shaking when he drinks from the water glass at 1:54. Makes you wonder if it was him being "in the scene" or if he was that legitimately shook doing this scene with Nicholson.
I get the shakes whenever I see Jack Nicholson, so either scenario is possible.
That last exchange between jessup and the judge...made the whole scene memorable for me.... thanks
I love that subtle head shake by Weinberg (Kevin Pollak) telling him not to go for it.
Lt Kaffee is delaying his choice to just the last moment in bringing Colonel Jessop down. This is maybe not intentionally, because Jessop is an intimidating character, practically oozing power. However, the delay and avoidant behaviours among the low ranking prosecutors are enough for the colonel to think he owns the court, which leads to his candor and downfall. Excellent movie.
One of the greatest performances of his career. MR Nicholson
My goodness. The acting is off the charts. This a God given talent to give a God given pleasure and thought provoking experience
to us all. Beautiful.
I love this transition in his strategy. He doesn't have the evidence to nail this guy. The only thing for him to do is get under his skin, insult his ego, goad him into telling the truth.
"What do you want to discuss now? My Favorite color?"
This is a perfectly written movie. To this day I re-watch it every time it's on.
Where have movies like this gone?? Excellent dialogue!!🔥🔥
Est lhm movies like this have been replaced by sci-fi and animatronic bullshit like superhero films
If you like this, check out Molly's Game - another film with a top cast and Aaron Sorkin dialogue.
I love the clap back from the Judge. Gets me every time. :)
I think this was the point where even the Judge was like, "wait, what's up with this guy."
I realized that maybe because Colonel Jessup had irritated the Judge here, that later the Judge over rules an objection by the prosecution. And then the Judge orders Colonel Jessup to answer a question, which is the start of Jessup's downfall on the stand.
"they called the ambulance, Jack"
"I don't care if they called the Avon lady"
How Cruise says "sit down" and walks away is great.
"Im not through with my examination, sit down."
I just watched it last week. Excellent film!! All the Actors gave their best!!
I know it's supposed to be serious, but that cough at 1:14 made me laugh. It comes out of nowhere..
"Im quite certain, I've earned it!" ;)
I love how he blatantly disrespects Jessup the same way he accidentally did in Cuba by not showing him due courtesy for his rank, knowing it would make him unhinged lol 😂
This is the second best scene in the entire movie. The best scene is "You can't handle the truth!", an oscar worthy performance from Jack Nicholson...
You see the moment when he decides to push the conversation knowing there is no return from this point - brilliant scene
That was awesome. Some of the best acting I have ever seen. Great lawyers have a way of getting things out of their witnesses
@2:09 one of my favorite parts. “I believe I earned it. Take your seat...colonel.”
I think the moment in Jessup says "Colonel" is key to catching him. Jessup is proud to be a Marine and to apply his code simply by being a Marine.
You think you can fool a Corleone?
Take your seat.....colonel. I love the pause lol.
blockmasterscott right. very deliberate.
I didn't dismiss you. That was the moment Tom Cruise knew he was going for it.
"You want the truth? You can't handle the truth!"
Why didn't this masterpiece win all the awards?
I didn't dismiss you. Sitdown.
I love it how Tom Cruise yells I WANT THE TRUTH! To which Jack Nicholson sarcastically replies You Cant handle the truth
Hehe...the judge put that gung-ho colonel in his place....
Turn down for What!!
I know Col. Jessup was a little too gung-ho, but don't you want that in a Marine Corps colonel?
That was my mama s favorite scene when the judge gave the colonel the business hahaha
As the judge he outranks any officers that are testifying.
@@tomservo5347 no.

I feel so good when the Judge confronts the Colonel, i remember when i saw one Lieutenant that was very arrogant got scolded by the Major, made all Seargeants like me, Corporals and Privates so much happy.
0:55 If it's At&T then it's not looking good boys.
2:01 when the judge admonishes Jessup. That's the moment Jessup just buried himself.
They both make an important point. You should always address people by their title in a formal setting. To refuse to do so is childish. I have worked in politics and I always made sure that I referred to opposition by their title (councilman, senator, deputy mayor, etc). They've earned it.
The Judge is so badassed, he chewed Jessep complaint as if it was a gum!
“The witness will address the court as “Judge” or, “Your Honor”, I believe *I’ve* earned it.
🤘
When Nicholson loses his cool and provokes the judge to basically telling him to know his place it's the first time we see him not in control, the moment the cracks begin to show and we realise he isn't untouchable.
I think when Jessop smiles and openly mocks Kaffee's line of questioning about foot lockers and phone bills was the moment that confirmed that Kaffee was right about Jessop: That he wanted to say he ordered the Code Red and that he considered being on the defensive on the witness stand, and indeed the entire court proceeding itself, beneath him and a waste of his time. Kaffee knew he could provoke Jessop, but he was nervous. He took one last look at his clients and colleagues, and took a sip of water.
1:14 when you tell a hot girl a pick up line and you look at your friend for his approval
The best movie I have ever seen in my life...Tom cruise is the best
phone call and foot lockers lmaooooo
I'm quite sure, I've earned it---Jessup said nothing for the first time
The actor playing Judge Julius Alexander Randolph is J.A. Preston he played in movies such as Air Force One Contact and body heat
"Now, are these really the questions I've been called to answer?" LMAOF!!!!!
This scene must be one of greatest. Tom Cruise and Jack Nicholson did It great.
I'm not through with my examination...sit down. Goosebumps!
The Jack Nicholson's character here is bigger then half of entire US army
That's because he is USMC!
The "I didn't dismiss you, I'm not through with my examination, sit down" line was the start of the attack on his ego. Wouldn't have been able to break him if he didn't feel like he was being disrespected.
This clip should be #4 in the playlist.
Always a few good men, always delight to watch.
I served at Gitmo, The Rock and at LeJune. The Mo was by far the tightest.
The judge’s response makes this scene
Not a big Tom Cruise fan but I have to admit that was a really great movie.
it's NOT a unit, it's a Court of Law.
the judge knows a good wine order when he hears it.
It's time for a legacy sequel- "Base Traffic Court: Caffey"

One of the best movies by both actors
You can't handle the truth!
Jack has the classic voice that every guy wants
the colonel knew how to manipulate around the question thats called tap dancing the problem is Caffee was not expecting this answer. thats why he has a this dazed look on his face.
But while he was standing there, that's when he put it together that the Colonel contradicted himself.
And after the fact he knew he was getting to the Colonel and got him ticking.
Your'e wrong. He purposely looked bewildered, glancing to his associates pretending to panic, because he wanted the Colonel to be frustrated and leave prematurely so he could impolitely tell him to sit down and throw him off his game by angering him. He knew exactly what he was doing.
Tim Welch no that's not why at all. He was pondering going after the colonel which could have put him in the stockade if done wrong.
@@jasherbrunson4951 correct. He pondered his own court Marshall for going after a high ranking officer. Then, he thought to himself he already went for it. It wasn't until the judge spoke about what to call him that he realized to try another tactic. And, that is to challenge him as a man; which Jack didn't like from anyone.
Law 101: Never asks question you don't know the answer to!!! Tom was flailing, then finally figured out to go after Jack's ego.
Any MP will concur that not all soldiers are heroes. Its staggerimg how many crimes are both commited and prosecuted in the Military. All branches too, none are exempt.
Jack nicholson amazingly carried the whole movie just within 5 minutes.what a great actor.
Some pretty awesome writing in this movie, and some pretty awesome acting in this movie...
I will now refer to the judge as Your Spiciness.
That shaking hand was a nice touch.
Sometimes a wonder if Cruise intentionally didn't address him as "Sir" as a way to get him angry. He knew Jessup didn't respect him and tried to use his pride to get him into a confession of guilt.
Yeah, that's a good question. Only he or the writers can answer that.
He also intentionally insults him when he says "Any chance Kendrick said 'the old man is wrong'".
Probably. Remember, those two eyewitnesses were there to unnerve Col. Jessup, and it worked!
