Galactically Stupid (Tom Cruise) | A Few Good Men

"Your passion is compelling. But it's also useless!" is just gold! I use this from time to time👍🏼

[lakicia]

“You were sick the day they taught law at law school” 😂 one of my favorite movie lines

[douglaslally]

Sam took a drink just to get the bottle out of Kaffee's hand. Subtle touch in the scene.

“Don’t do this to yourself…” Great delivery and line by Pollack. Great actor.

[johnharris]

"Why does a Lieutenant Junior Grade with nine months' experience and a track record for plea bargaining get assigned to a murder case? Would it be so it never sees the inside of a courtroom?" This was actually true. Aaron Sorkin read an article asking that very question about Military cases that were assigned to Jr Officers with little or no experience instead of to more experienced officers. Turn out that Senior officers did not want to risk their careers working controversial cases.

“The galactically stupid” 😂 I’m dead lol 😂

[Roshan-tbiz]

@05:35 "Is your father proud of you"?
"Don't do this to yourself."
Love the tone in those lines that both actors deliver.

This scene still gives me chills decades later. Especially watching the normally affable Cruise, like a sudden thunderstorm, turn on a drunken menace that briefly reaches Nicholsonian levels of malice as he berates Galloway, every word like a cobra's venom straight into her face. So well done, and a more than a bit unnerving!

[CayenneTurboDriver]

3:35 - That’s a great Jim Carrey impersonation right there. 😂

I miss going to the theaters and seeing dramas such as this. Excellent writing, cinematography, acting and yes directing. And Tom Cruise movies had an extra buzz at the theaters. They're right when they say all good things come to an end.

I love how Sam stuck around for a drink like a true friend, even after Kaffee lost his shit. He also got the bottle out of his hand by doing so...

[jhopkins]

Kevin Pollak was great in this scene. I love how he delivered the line "And if I were Dawson and Downey and I had a choice between you or your father to represent me in this case, I'd choose you any day of the week and twice on Sunday."

[dprinterjam]

Lots of subtle but effective touches: like when Galloway drops the coffee filter in defeat after Kaffee says "That was an important piece of information, don't you think?" And the way Sam takes the drink just to put out Kaffee's fire, as others have alluded to. Also at the end, when she walks out of the room, with slightly dewy eyes: she's gone from his commanding officer who had no respect for him to wanting to come up to his level as a lawyer and even being sweet on him. But of course, Cruise's hilarious tirade steals the show.

[Axeonfluke]

"what would you do"...Kevin's line is the catalyst for the whole end of the movie.

[gilpinsteven]

Kevin Pollak is the secret weapon in this scene. God I love this movie and Aaron Sorkin is such a brilliant writer.

[christopherp]

This movie is proof that you don't need a multi billion dollar budget with copious amounts of CGI to make an awesome movie. You just need a great script and great actors.

[williamfeldner]

Cruise should have won an Academy Award for his performance…… What an outstanding movie……….

[raging_nb]

The irony of a scientologist calling someone GALACTICALLY stupid...Lord Xenu would approve of that insult. 😂😂

[aarezbanoori]

Tom Cruise’s acting in some movies is just so underrated, especially in movies like these.

[Thedesertguy]

Ahhh when acting was dead on believable....this is how lines are delivered...so natural, passionate, and sincere....fawk I miss that, but then again, it was the early 90s...we hadn't lost our humanity to tech
