Nooo, do not apologize! We love to see your legal mind analysis of the movie! It is nice to see that people versed in the law find the movie interesting (and not just invented or wrong).

About to find out if Mary can handle the truth!

In the military, you are required by law to follow orders from your superiors. However, there is such a thing as unlawful orders and you are obligated not to follow them. However, determining on your own what's lawful and what's unlawful is a position you never wanna find yourself in. If you follow an unlawful order, you're as guilty as the superior officer ordering you to do it, however if YOUR definition of what is unlawful doesn't match what your other superior officers feel is unlawful, then you're guilty of disobeying a lawful order. It's such a sticky situation. Military law is a mess but then again so is civilian law. Great reaction to a great film, btw, Mary!

"Can he get his steak knives now?" Absolutely LOVED that.

Hi Mary! This is one of my favorite movies written by one of my favorite writers, Aaron Sorkin. The story was inspired by some real events that Sorkin learned about from his sister, who at the time was a brand new lawyer in the U.S. Navy's Judge Advocate General Corps. He took a few of the basics of the case she told him about and made up the rest of the story. He wrote it while he was working as a bartender in the theaters on Broadway during intermissions. When he had finished it and sent it to his agent, his agent had a meeing with David Brown. David Brown was a huge deal as he was the producer of many Hollywood hits like 'Jaws'. Brown was looking for new projects and Sorkin's script (which was a play first) was in the scripts Brown read. He loved it and immediately wanted to turn it into a film, but Sorkin wanted it on stage first...so, while Brown started pulling together the people to make a film, he produced the play on Broadway which was nominated for tons of awards and originally starred Tom Hulce (who played Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in the film 'Amadeus') as Kaffee, and Stephen Lang (best known as Col. Quaritch in James Cameron's 'Avatar') as Jessup. As the film was in pre-production, Rob Reiner couldn't find the right actor to play Dawson. One of his assistants was named Wolfgang Bodison, and Reiner asked him to read for the role, even though Bodison had never acted in anything, and really wasn't keen on being an actor. But, Bodison read for the role...and was cast as Dawson. His performance is so good, you'd think he was a trained actor with stage experience. Two bits of casting in this tickle me...1) The Naval lawyer that is higher ranked than Joanne, and asks her to leave the room so they can talk behind her back is played by John M. Jackson. Just a few years after this, he would play the role of Admiral A.J. Chegwidden, Judge Advocate General, on the television series 'J.A.G.' for 8 of the 10 years the series ran. Which was a big hit partially because of this film. 2) The casting of Doctor Stone, in the courtroom scene is funny as Reiner cast Christopher Guest, a friend and collaborator of Reiner's from 'This Is Spinal Tap' (Guest played Nigel Tuftnel and co-wrote the film) and 'The Princess Bride' (Guest was Count Rugen, the six-fingered man). Guest later took the format of 'Spinal Tap', the mockumentary and made a career of making other films that were filmed and had the feel of documentaries but were comedies. His films include 'Waiting For Guffman', 'Best In Show', and 'A Mighty Wind' among others. However Guest is also, in reality, an English lord. Specifically, he is the 5th Baron of Haden-Guest, a hereditary title. Even more of a mind-blowing fact is his wife is actress Jamie Lee Curtis (the 'Halloween' movies, 'Trading Places', 'A Fish Called Wanda', 'Knives Out') and they have been married since the 1980s. Sorkin is one of the most amazing writers in Hollywood, and he is now moved to not just writing but directing his own scripts. He won the Oscar for the screenplay for 'The Social Network', created some really amazing tv series like 'The West Wing', 'Sports Night', and 'The Newsroom', and wrote other amazing films like 'The American President', 'Molly's Game', 'Steve Jobs', 'The Trial of the Chicago 7', and 'Moneyball'. With a Sorkin script, the actors cant improvise...they have to know the script letter perfect. If part of their line is "Um..." They have to say is as a part of their dialogue in a scene. He sees language as a kind of music, and as such it has rhythm, nuance, and musicality. Really listen to the way the actors in this are speaking their dialogue and you can hear it. Thanks for this reaction!!!

Hey Marijke, one aspect I like a lot about this film is that Reiner didn't force a romantic connection between Cruise and Moore. Such a welcome change. I know you wanted that Romantic kiss but that would have undermined both lawyers in the fight for the lives of Dawson and BArnes.

@3:15, fun fact the senior JAG officer in this scene is played by John M. Jackson. A few years after this movie, a tv show was launched on NBC called JAG. The basic premise of JAG was “what if Tom Cruise’s characters from Top Gun and A Few Good Men was the same person”. The main character Harmon Rabb was a former Navy fighter pilot who now worked as a lawyer in the Judge Advocate General’s office. The show was awesome and ran for 10 seasons. John M. Jackson from this scene actually played the senior Judge Advocate General on that show. He was a two star Admiral and former Navy Seal. Jackson’s character was Harmon Rabb’s commanding officer.

30:49 I love the detail of Kafee's hand shaking visibly when he drinks the water, but he has his back to Jessep (and presumably the jury) so they won't be able to see how amped up and nervous he is. He's all in at this point.

As a Marine Sergeant in artillery, "code reds" - though not a term we used - happened all the time. For example, we'd spend weeks in 29 Palms for training exercises and training can be boring. Marines would get lethargic, feisty, sometimes belligerent. If I had a Marine on my gun section like this, I'd give him a shovel and make him dig a hole. 29 Palms is a dessert so digging a hole in the sand isn't a fun exercise. If a Marine didn't get out of "bed" ("bed" being his sleeping bag on the ground, in the dessert) quick enough, we'd zip it up and tie him to the barrel of the howitzer for a while. Not during a fire mission, of course. There was a Marine on a WestPac that wasn't taking care of his hygiene; he was banished from the berthing area and forced to sleep in the cab of a 5-ton in the well deck of the ship for the remainder of the cruise. Another Marine in garrison stole a camera; he was dropped off the second floor balcony of the BEQ onto the bushes below. The Code is real in a combat arms unit in the Corps. Or, at least it was when I was in. In most cases this form of discipline worked, and aside from some short term embarrassment, there was nothing permanent to it as there would be with an NJP. Jessup's statement that he discourages the practice officially but condones it off the record, was a pretty accurate reflection of my experiences.

“To Kill A Mockingbird” is a classic.

A nice switch-up would be, "My Cousin Vinny". It's a courtroom comedy, but they actually pull it off well. It's also well known for its overall accuracy of a trial's workings. Another trial movie would be the original black & white version of "12 Angry Men". It's mainly from the point of view from the Jury trying to come to a verdict. They both would be great choices for reviews/reactions. Great Reactions, BTW!

Another court room drama I think you will enjoy is the 1962 movie, To Kill A Mockingbird. Also I love when you start to comment and speculate, it is why I like watching your reactions.

Your predictions were so spot on that I kept thinking, “she has seen this movie before.” Lol. But that’s very impressive foresight.

I figured you'd like this one. For other court dramas do "The Verdict" (1982) one of Paul Newman's finest, "Anatomy of a Murder" (1959), "Inherit the Wind" (1960), "Judgement At Nuremberg" (1961) and "Witness for the Prosecution" (1957). I'm sure you'll like these. ✌😎

A Time To Kill is pretty classic. Sandra Bullock, Samuel L Jackson, and Mathew McConaughy in his breakout role, based on a John Grisham novel. Basically about jury nullification and what justice is compared to what the law dictates.

The main reason I enjoy your reactions is because of your comments, views, insights, especially movies involving the law. I grew up in a family of Marines which is one reason I went to see this film when its was first released. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Yes, the Marine drill teams (beginning of movie)are pretty cool to watch & that was at normal speed.

As a courtroom movie, I'm just gonna throw "Philadelphia" out there. Love your reactions, Mary. You're not only intelligent, you're also emotionally intelligent. Always a joy to watch. ❤❤

Note: It was established at the start of the film that, from the highest levels of the military hierarchy, Code Reds had been ordered discontinued. Later, Jessup himself says that when orders are disobeyed, people die. There's a symmetry in that.

I would recommend the movie Runaway Jury with John Cusack, Gene Hackman, Dustin Hoffman, and Rachel Weisz. It's a great court room drama that focuses more on the Jury selection, jury tampering, and the internal politics that go on within the jury room during a case.

Great reaction! Can I recommend you watch “INHERIT THE WIND”, with Spencer Tracy and Frederick March portraying opposing lawyers in a case based on the real life “Scopes Monkey Trial” Concerning a teacher on trial for teaching about evolution in the 1920’s (or 30’s) in Tennessee.

Rob Reiner is a great director, but there’s one thing that makes this movie awesome: Aaron Sorkin. He wrote this, West Wing, The American President, and Molly’s Game. Sorkin understands that everything that matters is a matter of language, and that all real drama comes from turns of phrase.

Fun to hear your thoughts along the way. Inherit the Wind is a great legal/courtroom drama; great actors - Spencer Tracey, Frederic March, Gene Kelly.

Loved your insights on the all the legal stuff. I could tell how much you enjoyed it

In regards to the Marine parade drill near the beginning, I don't know if the group in the movie is supposed to be the official "silent drill" team, but a quick search on KZfaq for "US Marine Corps Silent Drill" will have dozens of videos of the real team in action.

The United States Marine Corps Silent Drill Team, seen at the beginning of the movie, performs their drill maneuvers at exactly that speed. They are amazingly precise. And they perform their displays without a single verbal command.

Please put an officer & a gentleman up for vote, such a good movie it's like 3 in 1, a military movie, a romantic movie and a buddy movie all rolled into one and I've never seen anyone react to it.

You should watch Scent Of A Woman, with Al Pacino! It’s not exactly a “court of law” movie, but there’s a court room involved toward the end, and it features one of the greatest speeches in a movie ever! And there’s a moral dilemma driving it all.

This is the one of the greatest movies of alltime in my opinion. Love that it didn't force a romance in it. It was all about the case and was so well written you were sucked in.

The writer of this movie was Aaron Sorkin, he later became a legendary show-runner for a bunch of highly-regarded TV shows like SportsNight and The West Wing.

This is a fun movie and I enjoyed your reaction. One thing I find pretty funny is that Jessup talks about how hard he has to be because people's lives are on the line, but he's stationed on Guantanamo Bay. You'd be more likely to die from slipping on a banana peel than from some conflict with the Cuban army. So in reality Jessup is greatly over exaggerating the danger of his job.

Great plot insight Mary. That's what makes you one of the best movie reactors to watch. 😁

One of the best court room dramas from the 80s was The Verdict with Paul Newman.

Great reaction!! Other great courtroom films: 12 Angry Men (1957), My Cousin Vinny (1992 - this one is more of a comedy but it's surprisingly accurate in its portrayal of American jurisprudance), To Kill A Mockingbird (1962), and Primal Fear (1996)

If you love Courtroom-Movies you should definetly watch "A time to kill" with Mathew MacConaughey and Sandra Bullock among others.

Mary you chose one of my favorite movies glad you enjoyed it. Another court room drama I would highly recommend is A Time to Kill

This video shows why you're one of my favorite "reaction" channels. You're smart, insightful, you pay close attention, you're genuine and funny. Its like watching a movie with a friend that thinks the way I do. Wait that makes it sound like I'm praising myself O_O DAMMIT

Thank you for watching this one. I love to hear someone’s opinion on a show or movie when it relates to their own profession. I also really enjoyed hearing your perspective as someone outside the U.S. since it’s military themed. Great reaction!

Generally a code rode isn't meant to kill anyone, its similar to "college hazing", it's not right, but it's meant to get people who aren't following orders in-line. Its also usually not ordered from leadership, but what typically happens is everyone gets punished for a single person's mistake, and that gets everyone angry at that person, who then gets a code red by their team mates. I was in the US military for 8 years, I personally never saw a code red.

*Mary:* "Why didn't [Santiago] pack, if he was ordered to go at six?" [in court] *Kaffee:* "I'm wondering why Santiago wasn't packed." *Mary:* "Yesss!!" Courtroom movies ... • *_Witness for the Prosecution_* (1957) starring Marlene Dietrich and Charles Laughton, based on a play by Agatha Christie. • *_The Caine Mutiny_* (1954), starring Humphrey Bogart, based on a book by Herman Wouk. Another court-martial.

I was very impressed at how much you figured out on your own before it was presented in the movie. Bravo!

To Kill A Mockingbird 1962 with Gregory Peck, Philadelphia 1993 with Tom Hanks and Legally Blonde 2001 with Reese Witherspoon

I love how you're always spot on with your speculation! Not just courtroom dramas, with all the reactions I've seen of yours so far. You're brilliant!

This movie is another great example about how Chris Rock’s joke wasn’t an insult but a compliment.

I love how much this activated your lawyer brain. A few underrated court room dramas I think you'll like: Crimson Tide (basically a court room drama on a submarine), Inherit the Wind, The Verdict and The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial (1988 version) - which is like A Few Good Men if it was just one long courtroom scene and nothing else.

Great reaction Mary! I loved how you looked at the film from several perspectives, including from the standpoint of a military court & jury, intent to do harm, following orders, unwillingness to accept a plea bargain for moral reasons, etc. Nice catch on checking the logs from the arrival of the plane at its destination and the fact that Santiago wasn't packed. Another film worth reacting to (interestingly also with Tom Cruise), is "The Firm". A very good film adaptation of an amazing book by John Grisham.

If you like courtroom movies... or just simply like great movies... "To Kill a Mockingbird"

Amistad. 1997. The performance by Djimon Hounsou is outstanding!

Men Of Honor is also a phenomenal military film that is based on a real story and concludes with a marvelous courtroom scene. Highly recommend checking it out!

Mary is great as usual :) I love her "nee" (correct me if it is spelled differently) :)

Courtroom dramas is definitely your genre. I was super impressed at all of your 💯 accurate argument suggestions and predictions. We’re here for it.

‘The Verdict’ with Paul Newman is a good movie about a court case

If you feel like getting into another legal drama, one of my favourites of the genre is another Tom Cruise film: The Firm (1993), one of a long line of legal movies based on Grisham novels. Great cast and a great score too.

2:19 - That's the real speed. It's insane to watch the drill team go.

There was a TV series that combined aspects of "A Few Good Men" and "Top Gun" in the 1990's/early 2000's called "J.A.G." (Judge Advocate General) about the US Navy & Marine legal system. Starting with the 2nd season, the actor who played Captain West in "A Few Good Men" ("Leave the room so that we can talk about you behind your back"), John M. Jackson, played the Admiral serving as Judge Advocate of the Navy on "J.A.G.".

Amazing film very classic A Few Good Men starring Tom Cruise, Demi Moore, Jack Nicholson and Kevin Bacon. The line "You can't handle the truth" was ranked in the list of the American Film Institute (AFI) 100 Years...100 Movie Quotes. Thank you Mary great reaction excellent😊😊😊😊

So glad you watched a movie YOU wanted to watch. Please do that more often. It makes your reaction even more enjoyable.

You should see Demi Moore starring in "The Butcher's Wife", with Jeff Daniels. So the crime was committed by military members against another military member on a military base; the military has its own internal police, court, and detention facilities, so yes, this is being handled internally. Also, the military base is on foreign soil: Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This story is set (and the film made & released) before 9/11, before Guantanamo (now nicknamed "Gitmo") was used as a holding facility for terrorists. Nicholson's character Col Jessup is not just sexist and not just defending respect for rank; it's the arrogance of a man who believes he's always right AND the fact that his career is about to transfer to the halls of political power in America's capital, Washington DC. Jessup is a man who takes his power a little too seriously and throws his weight around because he enjoys knowing those under him have to take it. A Code Red is NOT an order to kill someone; it's an order to coerce behavior from a soldier. You don't get compliance by killing the man. Besides, as you can see, a death invites attention & investigation. Investigation is sure to uncover 'other issues', since no deaths are supposed to occur. Also, it is established at the beginning of the film that a Code Red is not just an 'unofficial' order, but also an illegal order. Even though it is still 'unofficially' in use, there are orders from the highest military levels not to use Code Reds anymore; it's a double-edged crime, being a crime both to issue and to carry it out. In the course of the film it becomes obvious Santigo was ill, that the medical officer overlooked a serious condition (so he has some liability) leading to Santigo not being able to comply perfectly in action. Santiago's medical condition turned his Code Red abuse into an accidental death. All in line of ordering the Code Red are liable for the accidental death, which we will see went all the way up to Col Jessup. The cover-up is an additional crime, from Jessup on down through all his accomplices. The two soldiers on trial, the ones that actually physically carried out the Code Red, also have liability, for carrying out an unlawful order and for manslaughter (unintended death). If the 2 men followed an unlawful order, they are still guilty of Conduct Unbecoming A Soldier. Guilt of any crime results in expulsion from the military under a Dishonorable Discharge. A Dishonorable Discharge is not just a stain on one's reputation; it also means you are no longer eligible for a whole slew of military service benefits: free education, veterans' home loans, broader market discounts, veterans' medical care, veterans' pension, etc. It also follows you into the workplace, affecting hiring opportunities, job retention, and promotions. In the course of the trial, the higher-ranked soldier went from feeling he was innocent (because he was just following an order) to accepting guilt (because the Code Red order was illegal and everyone involved except Santiago himself had been negligent, contributing to an innocent man's accidental death).

Dialog in this screenplay was really tight because it was adapted from a Broadway play by the same name. Aaron Sorkin wrote the original play, and the screen adaptation. He also created The West Wing for television, and even played a cameo in the background of the bar scene with Between Kaffey and Jo. Sorkin is known for using the same actors across his projects, so several characters from the film (and the play) appeared as regulars on The West Wing. Trivia - The Marine drill team in the opening credits were actually played by the Texas A&M University drill squad. More trivia - Kevin Pollak's character of Sam Weinberg was added for the movie, and was originally supposed to be played by Jason Alexander...who had to bow out because of conflicts with Seinfeld.

This movie was really pivotal in my own personal life. I joined the Marines for many reasons, but this movie factored heavily into my decision. I was young and impressionable, what can I say? haha It's a great Sorkin script, though. This was also in a great Rob Reiner run of films.

Explaining what you think will happen in this movie isn’t annoying. It just shows that you’re really into it and enjoying it.

You did an awesome job on this reaction. You following along and grasping the subtleties of the arguments and seeing what can come from the decisions was fantastic!

Hey Mary! Been watching you for a while and am loving all your reactions! In regards to your question- NO, they can not just follow ANY orders. They must be LAWFUL orders; no matter who that order comes from. While we were trained to immediately follow orders without question, the assumption was that those giving the orders were trusted, well- trained, and good people who would not betray their oaths or troops. I "like" this movie for what it is ( the actors and the acting) but they got SO many things wrong concerning military protocol, UCMJ, and such. Can't wait to see more reactions!

My favorite courtroom drama is 'The Verdict', which stars Paul Newman and was ranked #4 on the American Film Institute's list of the 10 best courtroom dramas. Number one on the list is 'To Kill a Mockingbird' which is also fantastic. I know Mary's seen Chicago, which starred Richard Gere, because she recognized Mr. Cellophane in her Guardians of the Galaxy reaction. Another great movie that Richard Gere plays a lawyer in is 'Primal Fear'. I also enjoyed 'The Rainmaker', which had a stacked cast including Matt Damon.

Some other great courtroom and legal movies are "The Trial of the Chicago 7" (2020) on Netflix, "Clemency" (2019), "Dead Man Walking" (1995), "And Justice for All" (1979) with Al Pacino, and I'm surprised no one has recommended "Witness for the Prosecution" (1957) same year as 12 Angry Men. And others (and I as well) recommend reacting to "Spotlight" from 2015.

I really enjoyed watching this with you. It was really cool to see your sharp mind pick up on things and I love your running commentary. Plus, I think your accent is great! Going to watch quite a few more of your reactions!

I recommend "Witness For The Prosecution". It's an old movie from 1957 in black and white but dont let that dissuade you. The drama is excellent and our protagonist is a delight!

The best thing about this movie is both sides are right. That's why it is so back and forth and so compelling.

I LOVED your reaction on this. It’s a terrific movie with a very famous cast. Your expertise was fabulous. Keep up the good work, and all my love from Seattle, WA. This 51 yr old lady digs your style. Cheers! 🥰

Your analysis and insights have added so much to my enjoyment of this movie...and the other courtroom movies you've watched, as well. Being a legal layman myself, I naturally tend to restrict my critiques to the usual things - script, performances, direction, cinematography, etc. - unless an exchange or plot point happens to strike me somehow as egregiously wrong or particularly farfetched. It's a whole new level of fun for me to watch you break it down the way you do.

Mary i so love watching movies with you! what makes it great is the energy you bring! thanks for making them so interesting!!! see you at the next movie!!!

"Rules of Engagement" is another good military courtroom drama. "A Time To Kill" is a classic based on a John Grisham book. "My Cousin Vinnie" is a very good courtroom comedy.

yes, that start with the marines spinning the rifles was actual speed. it is what is called `drilling', it's intended to install precision.

You deserve to pick the movie. Glad that won. Been loving your reactions from the start. With that said Memento is going to be such a treat! 💯 Can’t wait for that!

The Marines in the beginning are the "Silent Drill Team" stationed at Marine Barracks 8th & I, Washing ton, D.C.. Look them up and you can find videos of their full performances.

You'd probably love the show "Law & Order". It's a US TV show about criminal cases, that follows both the police detective aspect of the case (order) as well as the court case itself (law). The cases themselves usually involve social commentary/social issues of the time. It ran for like 20 seasons.

Another great courtroom movie is The Verdict (1982), with Paul Newman

Hearing what you think is why we watch! Absolutely nothing to apologize for.

Great courtroom movie based on a true case. "INHERENT THE WIND"

Fun fact: The drill sequence in the beginning isn't actually the United States Marine Corps Silent Drill Platoon. They are actually the Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets Fish Drill Team. The dead giveaway is that the USMC use M1's and the A&M team use the Springfield 1903.

12 Angry Men. Erin Brockovich. Philadelphia. The Rainmaker. The Client. The Chamber. The Firm. The Devil's Advocate. Separate But Equal. To Kill A Mockingbird. My Cousin Vinny. Runaway Jury. Inherit the Wind. Ghosts of Mississippi. There are a lot and I'm probably leaving off some great films, but these are some of the best American courtroom and legal movies.

I spent 8 years in the USAF. Watching this, I was SHOCKED how different military law is, never having to deal with it.

Courtroom movie recommendation: And Justice for All. 1979 film starring Al Pacino. Easily my favorite courtroom movie ever. The first 90% of the film is very good. At least an 8.5 out of 10. That last 10% though is a 20 out of 10....I know that's impossible, but I'm trying convey how amazing the ending is. Absolutely remarkable. Riveting, cathartic, emotional...perfection

Your reaction was so good and detailed. It was in fact very good that you gave a real lawyer perspective at various stages of this case. That made my understanding of what happened much better.Thank you so much...

"Let's goooooo!" I love your opening line, Mary! :)

Excellent reaction Mary!!! Fun fact (suspect already mentioned here) Rob Reiner was having trouble finding the right look for Pfc Dawson, he noticed his personal assistant Wolfgang Bodinson as having "the look", but he had never acted before. He asked Wolfgang to read for the part and he was convinced. The rest is history. Clearly Bodinson is a natural!

Demi Moore from this movie is also in The Juror. Its also a very good legal movie. The Rainmaker stars Matt Damon from Good Will Hunting. Its his second best acting role in a movie only second to Good Will Hunting. The Rainmaker is a court room legal movie like A Few Good men. If you liked this movie then you will love that one as well. The Client is a very suspenseful legal movie you may like. Double Jeopardy isn't really a court room legal movie, but it skims the law and is very interesting from a legal point of view. The Pelican Brief is a strong legal based movie because it involves politics and most of politics revolves around law. I have a feeling you will enjoy it. The Lincoln Lawyer shouldn't be a movie you ignore if you like law. Some movies are forever linked to the actors in them and The Lincoln Lawyer is forever linked to Matthew McConaughey like Lord of War is forever linked to Nicolas Cage. Nuts starring Barbra Streisand, and The Bonfire of the Vanities starring Tom Hanks is also a good movie that is about politics that involves the law. I think its one of Tom Hanks best roles. If you watch Nuts and enjoyed it then you may also like The Prince of Tides starring Barbra Streisand. Its more a psychology movie, but if I remember the reason the story takes place is because a family member is court ordered to have an evaluation by a psychologist take place like Good Will Hunting. I have a feeling a legal mind will enjoy that movie. Its one of my favorites that many overlook. Good luck, that's a lot of movies.

This movie always reminds me of Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World (2003)! So good.

The "chow hall" argument was excellent, as the prosecutor acknowledged. "Followed the crowd." That's exactly how a Code Red would happen.

Glad you enjoyed the movie. Jessep's explosive and embroiled testimony was intense. Also, you have one of the cutest laughs, ever.

@10:52, yes Marines actually say things like that about the Navy. In college my roommate was a Naval Reservist who despised Marines. I personally knew Marines who felt the same way about Navy people. However, in time of war everyone is on the same team.

Great video, thank you! This is one of my favourite films. A fantastic cast, and so many memorable scenes 🙂

Love your speculations. The “he didn’t pack” one was great!

I can watch this movie over and over. Here in the states it’s on tv basically 24/7 on one channel or another. So glad we got the chance to share it with you!

This is one of those movies that is stocked full of actors that go on to have extremely successful carriers

Best courtroom drama out there-The Verdict, 1982. I bet you ll love it.

For another excellent court room movie, you should watch *Primal Fear* with Edward Norton and Richard Gere.

Aaron Sorkin wrote this film and is so good. The Newsroom is a HBO show written by him which is fantastic. I would love if people did reactions to it. He's also started to direct movies now as well. He directed my favourite movie of 2020, The Trial of the Chicago 7.

If you liked this film, you'd probably love the TV show JAG, which has a very similar premise. A team of Navy/Marine Corps lawyers that deal with violations of military law. With how many seasons it had, and 1 hour episodes, it might be a little long to do on the channel, but it might be good watching for you to do in your personal time.

Watching you catch things before they happened was so cool!

In the diner date scene they are eating blue crabs. Probably in Maryland. If you’re ever in that area have to try that
