Just finished watching "A Few Good Men" for like the seventh time, and I can watch it seven more times.
I'm not even a big Tom Cruise fan.

Directed by the great Rob Reiner, starred Tom Cruise, Jack Nicohlson, Demi Moore, Kevin Bacon, Keifer Sutherland, the brilliant Aaron Sorkin wrote it to perfection, yet nothing.

it is a great movie....the courtroom scene interrogating Nicholson, is simply classic....not just for the "you can't handle the truth" line, but for the whole thing....

I loved when Demi Moore objects, the judge overrules, then she says "Your honor, we strenuously object" and the other guy makes fun of her.......oh, if we "strenously object" then its different..

great stuff

After Saving Private Ryan was beaten by Shakespeare in Love I stopped giving a fuck about awards.

Hollywood is all about politics and agenda. If a film advances Hollywood's agenda then it will win Academy Awards.

Yeah, the Color Purple really got the shaft. I guess Steve was just winning too many awards.
